BigQuery Github Action

This Github action can be used to deploy tables/views schemas to BigQuery.

Simple

name: "Deploy to BigQuery"
on:
  pull_request: {}
  push:
      branches: ["main"]

jobs:
  deploy_schemas:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Deploy to BigQuery
    steps:
      # To use this repository's private action,
      # you must check out the repository
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/[email protected]
      - name: Deploy schemas to BigQuery
        uses: jashparekh/bigquery-action@v3
        env:
          gcp_project: 'gcp-us-project'
          dataset_schema_directory: 'gcp-us-project/dataset_name'
          credentials: ${{ secrets.GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT }}

Configuration

Required

gcp_project (required, string)

The full name of the GCP project you want to deploy.

Example: gcp-us-project

dataset_schema_directory (required, string)

The directory in your repository where are you storing the schemas for your tables and views.

Example: gcp-us-project/dataset_name

credentials (required, string)

Google Service Account with permission to create objects in the specified project. Can be stored as a repository secret

Schemas

This action uses GBQ to deploy to Google BigQuery. GBQ now supports specifying partitions with the schema as well.

To leverage this you need to nest your JSON table schema in a dictionary. An example for the same is given below. Library supports Time and Range based partitioning along with Clustering.

All the configuration options can be found here.

{
  "partition": {
    "type": "range",
    "definition": {
      "field": "ID",
      "range": {
        "start": 1,
        "end": 100000,
        "interval": 10
      }
    }
  },
  "clustering": [
    "ID"
  ],
  "schema": [
    {
      "name": "ID",
      "type": "INTEGER",
      "mode": "REQUIRED"
    }
  ]
}
