Has the edk been made available for use yet? Is there a guide on how to use it? I would love to use it to write my tap on tap-topberfest

10/17/2022, 1:57 PMNo, there is a new EDK (extension development kit) in development by meltano which allows us to easily create extensions (👍 @Reuben (Matatika) )

10/17/2022, 3:49 PM@Stéphane Burwash you shouldn’t need it to make a tap - that’s what the SDK is for. What extension are you trying to add? 🙂

10/17/2022, 4:08 PMYou would recommend I do this directly on the sdk? It would contain no streams though, so Im unsure of the use

10/17/2022, 4:10 PMthe EDK is the way to go. You mentioned tap so I was confused.

10/17/2022, 4:10 PMthis one is interesting b/c technically it’s a dbt package and you don’t really need a plugin for it… but then they kind of have their own CLI so you do…?

10/17/2022, 4:13 PMExactly; the goal is just to install the cli + write custom commands for the CLI
Stéphane Burwash
10/17/2022, 4:14 PMBecause currently I have to wrike my own custom commands. It's not an issue per-say, but it's definitely not fun to reproduce for others. I also thought it was a nice opportunity to show off the EDK for tap-toberfest
