Commands

Command categories

The CLI commands are organized into categories named after the main objects they support:

package
resource
dialect
schema
table

Each category has its own commands for example the table category:

dp table convert
dp table describe
dp table explore
dp table query
dp table validate

Working with data packages

Usually non-package command support the -p/--package and -r/--resource options to specify the datapackage file path and a resource name to access an object inside a data package.

For example, we can explore a table using this command:

dp table explore table.csv

Or this command using an interactive mode:

dp table explore -p datapackage.json
# it will ask you to select a resource

Or this command using both the datapackage file path and the resource name making it non-interactive similarly to the plain path-based command:

dp table explore -p datapackage.json -r table
