TextDataset

TextDataset loads and saves text data.

kedro_datasets.text.TextDataset

TextDataset(
    *,
    filepath,
    version=None,
    credentials=None,
    fs_args=None,
    metadata=None
)

Bases: AbstractVersionedDataset[str, str]

TextDataset loads/saves data from/to a text file using an underlying filesystem (e.g.: local, S3, GCS)

Examples:

Using the YAML API:

alice_book:
  type: text.TextDataset
  filepath: data/01_raw/alice.txt

Using the Python API:

>>> from kedro_datasets.text import TextDataset
>>>
>>> string_to_write = "This will go in a file."
>>>
>>> dataset = TextDataset(filepath=tmp_path / "test.md")
>>> dataset.save(string_to_write)
>>> reloaded = dataset.load()
>>> assert string_to_write == reloaded

Parameters:

• filepath (str | PathLike) –

  Filepath in POSIX format to a text file prefixed with a protocol like s3://. If prefix is not provided, file protocol (local filesystem) will be used. The prefix should be any protocol supported by fsspec. Note: http(s) doesn't support versioning.

• version (Version | None, default: None ) –

  If specified, should be an instance of kedro.io.core.Version. If its load attribute is None, the latest version will be loaded. If its save attribute is None, save version will be autogenerated.

• credentials (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

  Credentials required to get access to the underlying filesystem. E.g. for GCSFileSystem it should look like {"token": None}.

• fs_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

  Extra arguments to pass into underlying filesystem class constructor (e.g. {"project": "my-project"} for GCSFileSystem), as well as to pass to the filesystem's open method through nested keys open_args_load and open_args_save. Here you can find all available arguments for open: https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#fsspec.spec.AbstractFileSystem.open All defaults are preserved, except mode, which is set to r when loading and to w when saving.

• metadata (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

  Any arbitrary metadata. This is ignored by Kedro, but may be consumed by users or external plugins.
