YAML reference

A DRE project is YAML and SQL files. Each kind of YAML file has a reference page that lists every key with its type, default and meaning. The pages are generated from the same JSON Schemas that give editors autocomplete, so they can’t miss a key.

File	What it holds	Reference
dre_project.yml	The project: default profile and output, variables, week settings, folder config	dre_project.yml
reports/**/*.yml	A report: queries, output, destinations, Sets, templates	Report YAML
sets.yml	Named variants a report can run as	sets.yml
schedules.yml	Named schedules your orchestrator fires	schedules.yml
timings.yml	Named timings that schedules share	timings.yml
profiles.yml	Connections: sources and destinations (kept outside the project)	profiles.yml
dependencies.yml	Plugin packages and macro packages	dependencies.yml
lookups/<name>.yml	The config of a lookup file	Lookup config

The options of each format and destination (for example delimiter, or an email’s to) are documented with their plugins in Plugins; that reference comes from the plugins themselves.

For editor autocomplete and validation, see Editor setup.
