Feature Request: ALM Toolkit support for Tabular Editor serialized models #117

Closed jasonhendrix closed 1 month ago

jasonhendrix commented 3 years ago

Tabular Editor allows you to serialize a model so that it is stored as several JSON files in several folders. This allows for better integration with source control. More information on that process is here: https://docs.tabulareditor.com/Advanced-features.html#folder-serialization

However, to use that option along with ALM Toolkit requires that you first take an additional step to convert back to a single .bim file. It would be nice to be able to skip that step.

To do so, I am hoping that ALM Toolkit could add a feature so that the serialized model version that Tabular Editor creates could be used as a source and destination for comparisons.

Upcoming TMDL serialize to folder should do the trick 😉
