Extending AutomateDV¶
This page describes how write your own macros to replace existing macros provided in AutomateDV.
adapter.dispatch¶
Every macro in AutomateDV first calls adapter.dispatch to find platform specific implementations of the macro to execute.
Here is an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
|
This snippet defines the macro namespace as 'automate_dv'
, ensuring that this macro gets found in the list of macros implemented in the automate_dv
package namespace.
To override the hub
macro and ensure dbt uses your own implementation of it, you simply need to provide a configuration in your dbt_project.yml
as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
|
With this configuration change, an implementation of the hub
macro could be defined in your own project as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 |
|
Here are some further examples, showing how to override a platform-specific implementation:
1 2 3 4 5 |
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
|
...and that's it! Yay!
