Configuring Data Models

Each data model's configuration can be tweaked to fit your needs. To set the configuration for a data model, just export a configuration object from the model file with the data model name as a prefix and config as the suffix, like so:

UserActivity.ts
import { Key, DataModelConfig, IngestionFormat } from "@514labs/moose-lib";
 
// <modelName>Config
export const UserActivityConfig: DataModelConfig<UserActivity> = {
  ingestion: {
    format: IngestionFormat.JSON,
  },
  storage: {
    enabled: true,
    order_by_fields: ["timestamp"],
  },
};
 
export interface UserActivity {
  eventId: Key<string>;
  timestamp: string;
  userId: string;
  activity: string;
}

Configuration Options

Ingestion

Configures the API endpoint that we provision to ingest data into the data model.

export const UserActivityConfig: DataModelConfig<UserActivity> = {
  ingestion: {},
};

format

The format of the data that the ingestion endpoint will accept. This defaults to IngestionFormat.JSON.

export const UserActivityConfig: DataModelConfig<UserActivity> = {
  ingestion: {
    format: IngestionFormat.JSON,
  },
};

Possible values:

  • IngestionFormat.JSON: Single JSON object expected in the body of the request
  • IngestionFormat.JSON_ARRAY Array of JSON objects expected in the body of the request
    •

    Storage

    Configures the persistence layer for the data model.

    export const UserActivityConfig: DataModelConfig<UserActivity> = {
  storage: {},
};

    enabled

    Whether to enable a table in the OLAP storage for the data model. This is enabled by default.

    export const UserActivityConfig: DataModelConfig<UserActivity> = {
  storage: {
    enabled: true,
  },
};

    order_by_fields

    Adds an order by clause to the table in the OLAP storage. This is useful when you want to query the data model by a specific field. This will be used to order the data on disk. Is empty as default.

    export const UserActivityConfig: DataModelConfig<UserActivity> = {
  storage: {
    order_by_fields: ["timestamp"],
  },
};
