singer-target-template

A cookiecutter template for creating Singer targets.

The best way to demonstrate creating your target structure is with an example. Below I will initialize the "target-foobar" project:

Start by installing cookiecutter:

$ pip install cookiecutter

The next command will ask for some input. Enter the name of your tap:

$ cookiecutter https://github.com/singer-io/singer-target-template.git
project_name [e.g. 'target-csv']: target-foobar

For the package_name, I just hit enter since tap_foobar is what I wanted:

package_name [target_foobar]:

Now that the project exists, make a virtual environment:

$ cd target-foobar
$ python3 -m venv ~/.virtualenvs/target-foobar
$ source ~/.virtualenvs/target-foobar/bin/activate

Install the package:

$ pip install -e .
