Fill out the DatasetSchema routines
orianac opened this issue · 2 comments
I think we want to leverage the existing DataArray schema routines inside the Dataset schema, and check each variable in the Dataset using a specified schema. It seems then that the construction of the Dataset schema might just be a dictionary of data array schemas. The DatasetSchema.validate() would then return a Dataset upon passing.
A note: currently with only DataArray validation implemented, validating a Dataset involves extracting the variable from the dataset into a DataArray which then means that a DataArray is returned.
We currently do have DatasetSchema.validate() implemented and, as you suggest, the constructor takes a dictionary of DataArraySchema objects. Under the hood there is just a for loop validating each DataArray separately:
Other than some docs highlighting that this exists, is there anything else missing that you'd like to see here?
