Add dbt-coves generate properties
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It can be painful to create .yml files for dbt models; the behaviour of dbt-coves generate properties would be helpful for models also.
Describe the solution you'd like
Addition of command dbt-coves generate properties, which searches the manifest for models without a patch_path; presents an interface for selection like dbt-coves generate sources does, and creates a templated .yml file with all columns listed for selected models.
Describe alternatives you've considered
dbt-sugar contains this functionality, as does codegen. However, using multiple separate tools to do essentially the same thing (from the user perspective) is not ideal, as it requires the user to remember which tool does which specific use case.
Nice feature. We could use https://github.com/Dashlane/dbt-invoke as inspiration.
Done and with the option to define a template for the generated model
