Dataform core is an open source meta-language to create SQL tables and workflows in BigQuery. Dataform core extends SQL by providing a dependency management system, automated data quality testing, and data documentation.
Using Dataform core, data teams can build scalable SQL data transformation pipelines following software engineering best practices, like version control and testing.
- Quickstart.
- Create tables and views.
- Configure dependencies.
- Write data quality checks.
- Enable scripting and code re-use with a JavaScript API.
- Import pre-defined packages, or create your own.
Note: we have recently undergone a documentation transition from docs.dataform.co to cloud.google.com/dataform/docs. Content hosted on the old document site is published from the main_v1 branch.
You can install the Dataform CLI tool using the following command line. Follow the docs to get started.
npm i -g @dataform/cli
