How to create a new open-source BigFunction

To start, the best is to duplicate an existing yaml file in 'bigfunctions' folder. Make sure to duplicate a file with the same type (function_sql, aggregate_function_sql, function_js, function_py, procedure) as the one you target.

Before submitting a Pull-Request, make sure:

  • your BigFunction is really useful. If it takes more time to call it than to write its own code, there may be something wrong. For instance, it does not seem appropriate to create a bigfunction that we would call by bigfunctions.eu.is_date_in_range(my_date, start_date, end_date) rather than to write directly my_date between start_date and end_date.
  • bigfunction name is explicit. If the function returns a boolean, it should start with is_ or has_. It the function create a vizualisation in BigQuery console it should start with explore_.
  • all arguments/output names are explicit.
  • descriptions are concise.
  • you provide enough examples (edge cases must be provided) but not too much (you should not provide a second example that does not provide more understanding about the function than the first one).
  • you deployed sucessfully your bigfunction by calling bigfun deploy your_bigfunction
  • you tested the bigfunction for all the examples you provided and you each time got the expected output. (we plan to create a test command line soon).
  • sql keywords must me lowercased (such as select)
