Meltano extension developer kit

|

The Meltano extension developer kit is the fastest way to build custom Meltano extensions. If you're looking to build a custom extractor, loader, or tap then the SDK is actually what you're looking for.

Creating a new extension using the EDK

This repo ships with a copier based template to help developers get and new extension using the Meltano EDK up and running quickly.

Prerequisites for using the template

pipx install copier

Use copier to initialize a new extension

Start a new EDK project using the supplied template (directly from Github):

Install the project dependencies:

cd my-new-extension
poetry install
