Steps are functions used in the context of the recipe
extract_json_values
and the create_project
steps. The create_project
step is a special one whose only purpose
is to instantiate the dataset (ds) and make it available for other steps to process it.
We can see the step extract_json_values
takes two inputs: ds.products
and
a dictionary-like object as options. ds.products
is a column on ds
, made available
by create_project
. This step will then create a new column on ds
called productName
, with the
results of the transformation in it.
This is a very powerful and relatively easy way of processing your data and having it
readily available. Sometimes, this can be quite a bit faster than booting up a classic
python/R notebook, while still providing with much the same functionality.
The complete list for all the possible steps lives in the API Docs, also at the top of this page.
