Example of File StructureFile: String;
The File property determines the path and the name of the JSON file, from which data is to be imported.
Executing the example requires the D:\Work\Data.json JSON file.
An ETL task with the ETL identifier is created in the repository.
Add links to the Andy, Drawing, Dt, Etl, Metabase system assemblies.
Sub UserProc;
Var
MB: IMetabase;
MObj: IMetabaseObject;
EtlTask: IEtlTask;
EtlProvider: IEtlPlainDataProvider;
JSONProvider: IDtJsonProvider;
WxProvider: IWxRectangle;
WxETLProvider: IWxETLObject;
Begin
MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
//Search for ETL task. Repository object wih the ETL identifier
MObj := MB.ItemById("ETL").Edit;
EtlTask := MObj As IEtlTask;
//Provider creation start
//Create the Import from JSON provider
EtlProvider := EtlTask.Create(EtlObjectType.PlainDataJsonProvider) As IEtlPlainDataProvider;
EtlProvider := EtlProvider.Edit;
EtlProvider.Id := "JSON_Provider";
EtlProvider.Name := "Import from JSON";
EtlProvider.Description := "Import from JSON";
//Set up data provider
JSONProvider := EtlProvider.Provider As IDtJsonProvider;
JSONProvider.File := "D:\Work\Data.json";
JSONProvider.Query := "$..data";
EtlProvider.FillDefault;
//Save provider
EtlProvider.Save;
//Provider creation end
//Visual object creation start
WxProvider := EtlTask.Workspace.CreateRectangle;
WxETLProvider := New WxETLObject.Create;
WxETLProvider.ETLObject := EtlProvider;
WxProvider.Style.TextPosition := WxTextPosition.Bottom;
WxProvider.Style.PictureMarginTop := -10;
WxProvider.PinPosition := New GxPointF.Create(50, 50);
WxProvider.Extension := WxETLProvider As IWxShapeExtension;
//Visual object creation end
//Save ETL task
MObj.Save;
End Sub UserProc;
On executing the example a new data provider will be created in ETL task - Import from Json. The data provider is set up to work with the specified file.
