Hello Team,

Is there any utility to convert GraphQL model in CDF to yaml files which can be used in CDF toolkit for deployment.

Currently, even after taking dump using SDK, we need to change the format of YAML as per the supported syntax.

Thanks,

Snehal,

You can download model using Toolkit with the `cdf dump datamodel` command. That will give you the YAML format that is compatible with Toolkit.

Is there a way to copy also the data present in the views of the model while we do this? I tried, successfully to download the model as a bunch of yamls but I also need to reproduce the data, preferably after making some changes in the content.

No sorry, not at this stage. You would have to write your own script to do that, for example, using the python SDK.

Also, I see this is available for Datamodel, asset and timeseries. Any plan to make it available for other resources like groups, transformations, workflows etc

Yes, we plan to enable it for (nearly) all resource types.
