Support upload a Tabular Data Package #477

Open Stephen-Gates opened 7 years ago

Stephen-Gates commented 7 years ago

A Tabular Data Package contains one or more related CSV files and a datapackage.json file that includes the Table Schemas. Enable Octopub to accept data packages that may have been prepared using other tools.

This issue touches on:

This function should also be supported via the API

Floppy commented 7 years ago

This seems like a reasonable thing to do. We'd have to work out how the user workflow happens. The current form is basically a datapackage builder, so should we bypass it completely, autofill it from the datapackage, etc etc?

It might be simplest to add this feature first in the API (to support things like comma chameleon) then add the UI later on.
