Writing a component creation tutorial

Anonymous — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 12:42:21 GMT

Hello all,
in the last few months I gathered a bit of experience in creating component,s so I thought it might be useful to others to (try to) summarize what I learnt.
I wrote the first part of the tutorial, you can find it here, I just went through the basic concepts so far, but indeed I may expand to more advanced ones if someone finds it useful.
The page can be found here : http://www.powerupbi.com/talend/componentCreation_1.html
Please feel free to send remarks, suggestions etc.

Hello, part 6 of the tutorial is out, it covers the basics concepts about connectors which will be further developed in part 7 (which will focus on schema, metadata associated to connections).
Part 6 can be found here :

Hello, as promised, part 7 is out ( here http://powerupbi.com/talend/componentCreation_7.html ).
In this lesson I guide the reader in the creation of a CSV input component.
Part 8 will focus instead on output components, we will create one of them.
Also, with a processing component (has both input and output) we will show how it is possible to output less records than the ones in input.
I would be happy to receive some honest feedback from you so I can adjust accordingly for the next lessons.

Hello, part 8 of the tutorial is out here : http://powerupbi.com/talend/componentCreation_8.html
In this lesson I guide the reader in the creation of an output component (that writes an xml file with metadata and records that it receives from the input connection).
I would like to thank all those who sent their feedback, as a general rule, feel free to contact me should you have questions.

Hello again,
part 9 of the tutorial is out, it covers the case of a component that outputs a number of records lower than the ones it receives in input.
The page can be found here : http://powerupbi.com/talend/componentCreation_9.html

Hello, I just released lesson 10 of the tutorial.
This quite a "special" one, because in this lesson I do some reverse engineering of an existing component (tFileInputJSON) to fulfill a request posted in this thread : http://www.talendforge.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=66200#p66200
So this lesson explains how to modify an existing component, by adding the "die on error" functionality.
I was not able to test the modified component yet, so it is totally possible there are few mistakes here and there, however I hope someone of you could try it out and eventually correct where I made mistakes.
I explained every single modification I made, so shoudl not be difficult
Ah, the link is here ; http://powerupbi.com/talend/componentCreation_10.html

Thanks, I may add a few more lessons in the future, but I believe those I already released should cover pretty much what's needed to get started.
If anyone has specific request I may consider them for new lessons.
Also feel free to post questions and comments, as usual.
Bye.

Hi,
Thanks to a Team member, I discovered this thread and the very good contributions Saburo was able to make.
As this is a very interesting forum thread, that can benefit to all the Community, I've "stickied" it (a request from the Team member - thanks a lot Imad!) on the Component creation forum.
Thanks for your contributions Saburo!
Best,
Pcoffre.
