Implement frictionless-js library

[rufuspollock]

We want a JS toolkit following our RFC 006 https://github.com/frictionlessdata/project/blob/master/rfcs/0006-software-structure.md

We already have a base library in the form https://github.com/datopian/data.js which we can migrate over.

Then we need to add more functionality - a lot of this is in https://github.com/datopian/data-cli e.g. we have "show" (cat and info), validate, init...

Tasks

• [x] Migrate Datopian's data.js to become basis of frictionless-js https://github.com/frictionlessdata/frictionless-js/issues/85 DONE
• [ ] Migrate https://github.com/datopian/data-cli into

Qus

• Should we actually have data.js as frictionless-sdk-js? and have https://github.com/datopian/data-cli become frictionless-js (latter has more stars and is actually more related).
  • Pros: clean separation, keep base library simple
  • Cons: we have two libs with some potential confusion

WONTFIX: Closing because there is no action to be taken.

@sglavoie i opened this as a placeholder today because we specifically discussed this as something we are working on. Reopening.

Hi, do we have more specific goals like releasing some version having some functionality? Probably that what you're planning to add to the acceptance so just curious as it's empty yet

[rufuspollock]

@roll we already have the basic version done - see the repo - as we migrated data.js over last week. I've just updated the description with more info. Note that most of the functionality already existed in data.js and data-cli - it's a question of moving it over.

Shall we close it and track further development on the corresponding issue tracker?
