We now have a google group for DataExpress! Please come join the discussion and help us build a community

Getting Started

The official DataExpress website contains a tutorial and other basic information for new users

Downloading Binaries

The releases page contains the jars and tutorial starter files for DataExpress. You can use these if you're not familiar with Scala or the various JVM build processes

Using from SBT, Maven, etc...

DataExpress is published to the Sonatype OSS snapshot and release repositories. These repositories are pushed to Maven Central every 2 hours. This means that you can use releases without adding custom resolvers to your sbt build definition or custom repositories to your Maven POM. The group id (organization) is edu.chop.research and the artifact id (name) is dataexpress

To add a dependency to the latest release version of DataExpress to your sbt (0.12.x) build definition:

libraryDependencies += "edu.chop.research" %% "dataexpress" % "0.9.1.3"

If you would like to live on the (often bleeding-) edge, a snapshot version of DataExpress can go in your sbt (0.12.x) build definition:

resolvers += Opts.resolver.sonatypeSnapshots

libraryDependencies += "edu.chop.research" %% "dataexpress" % "0.9.1.4-SNAPSHOT"

Compiling from Source

The source code includes an SBT build.sbt configuration allowing for building.

All commands assume you are working in the dataexpress root directory, here ~/dataexpress)

1. Clone the source to a local project directory, here assume it is ~/dataexpress

2. Ensure both Scala SBT is installed see http://www.scala-sbt.org/

3. To compile current source code: $sbt compile

4. To test current source code: $sbt test

5. To package WITHOUT dependencies: $sbt package

6. To package a "fat jar" containing dependencies (e.g. database drivers) $sbt assembly Note: this excludes the Scala library; to include that as well, edit the line in build.sbt to read assembleArtifact in packageScala := true

7. To create scaladocs $sbt doc

8. To start a Scala console with DataExpress on the class path $sbt console

-Note this will also automatically perform the following imports: import edu.chop.cbmi.dataExpress.dsl.ETL._ import edu.chop.cbmi.dataExpress.dsl.ETL import edu.chop.cbmi.dataExpress.dsl.stores.SqlDb import edu.chop.cbmi.dataExpress.dataModels.RichOption._
