Use for generation?

[pmackay]

I am exploring the idea of programmatically generating a datapackage.json. Can this be used to generate JSON that represents a table schema that would be added to a datapackage definition?

@pmackay Hi, do you mean inferring some data files?

[pmackay]

I mean calling API methods to build up a logical schema model and then outputting a JSON representation of that model that matches the datapackage.json format.

@pmackay Yes, sure https://github.com/frictionlessdata/tableschema-js#schema

Other question that for outside of basic cases it will require a descriptor editing anyway

schema.descriptor[...] = ...
schema.commit()
