Table Schema to Markdown

Generate Markdown documentation from a Table Schema JSON file.

Note: For now Table Schemas specification doesn't define metadata properties. This project is based on this proposal.

Install

npm install -g @opendataschema/table-schema-to-markdown

Usage

A schema can be passed by file path or by URL. Examples:

table-schema-to-markdown schema.json
table-schema-to-markdown https://git.opendatafrance.net/scdl/subventions/raw/master/schema.json

By default, fields are rendered as headings, but it is possible to render them as a table:

table-schema-to-markdown --fields-format=table schema.json

The program reads your current locale to output translated messages, but it's possible to pass another locale:

LC_ALL=fr table-schema-to-markdown schema.json

Another Handlebars template file or partials directory can be passed also:

table-schema-to-markdown --template my_template.hbs --partials my_partials_dir schema.json

Example

For this schema, see this rendering.
