# Connector Development Kit (Python CDK)

The Airbyte Python CDK is a framework for rapidly developing production-grade Airbyte connectors.
The CDK currently offers helpers specific for creating Airbyte source connectors for:
* HTTP APIs (REST APIs, GraphQL, etc..)
* Singer Taps
* Generic Python sources (anything not covered by the above)

The CDK provides an improved developer experience by providing basic implementation structure and abstracting away low-level glue boilerplate.

This document is a general introduction to the CDK. Readers should have basic familiarity with the [Airbyte Specification](https://docs.airbyte.io/architecture/airbyte-specification) before proceeding.

## Getting Started
Generate an empty connector using the code generator. First clone the Airbyte repository then from the repository root run
```
cd airbyte-integrations/connector-templates/generator
npm run generate
```

then follow the interactive prompt. Next, find all `TODO`s in the generated project directory -- they're accompanied by lots of comments explaining what you'll need to do in order to implement your connector. Upon completing all TODOs properly, you should have a functioning connector.

Additionally, you can follow [this tutorial](docs/tutorials/http_api_source.md) for a complete walkthrough of creating an HTTP connector using the Airbyte CDK.

### Concepts & Documentation
See the [concepts docs](docs/concepts/README.md) for a tour through what the API offers.

### Example Connectors

**HTTP Connectors**:
* [Exchangerates API](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/airbyte-integrations/connectors/source-exchange-rates/source_exchange_rates/source.py)
* [Stripe](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/airbyte-integrations/connectors/source-stripe/source_stripe/source.py)
* [Slack](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/airbyte-integrations/connectors/source-slack/source_slack/source.py)

**Singer connectors**:
* [Salesforce](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/airbyte-integrations/connectors/source-salesforce-singer/source_salesforce_singer/source.py)
* [Github](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/airbyte-integrations/connectors/source-github-singer/source_github_singer/source.py)

**Simple Python connectors using the barebones `Source` abstraction**:
* [Google Sheets](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/airbyte-integrations/connectors/source-google-sheets/google_sheets_source/google_sheets_source.py)
* [Mailchimp](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/airbyte-integrations/connectors/source-mailchimp/source_mailchimp/source.py)

## Contributing

### First time setup
We assume `python` points to python >=3.7.

Setup a virtual env:
```
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]" # [dev] installs development-only dependencies
```

#### Iteration
* Iterate on the code locally
* Run tests via `pytest -s unit_tests`
* Perform static type checks using `mypy airbyte_cdk`. `MyPy` configuration is in `.mypy.ini`.
* The `type_check_and_test.sh` script bundles both type checking and testing in one convenient command. Feel free to use it!


#### Testing
All tests are located in the `unit_tests` directory. Run `pytest --cov=airbyte_cdk unit_tests/` to run them.
This also presents a test coverage report.



#### Publishing a new version to PyPi
1. Bump the package version in `setup.py`
2. Open a PR
3. An Airbyte member must comment `/publish-cdk --dry-run=<true or false>`. Dry runs publish to test.pypi.org.

## Coming Soon
* Full OAuth 2.0 support (including refresh token issuing flow via UI or CLI) 
* Airbyte Java HTTP CDK
* CDK for Async HTTP endpoints (request-poll-wait style endpoints)
* CDK for other protocols
* General CDK for Destinations
