fluid product-new

Bootstrap a new FLUID data-product skeleton with a minimal sample contract.

Syntax

fluid product-new --id PRODUCT_ID [--out-dir DIR]

Key options

OptionDescription
--idProduct ID, e.g. gold.customer360_v1. Required.
--out-dirWhere to create the product files. Default products.

Examples

fluid product-new --id gold.customer360_v1
fluid product-new --id silver.orders_v1 --out-dir services

Notes

  • Creates <out-dir>/<id-with-underscores>/contract.fluid.json containing a minimal DataProduct skeleton (one dbt build with a 02:15 daily cron, empty consumes/exposes).
  • The scaffolded contract uses fluidVersion: 0.7.5 — the current schema version emitted by every scaffolder.
  • For a fuller, opinionated scaffold (with sample data, overlays, and CI), use fluid init or fluid demo. For AI-guided creation, use fluid forge.
  • To extend an existing product contract with sources, exposures, or DQ checks, use fluid product-add.
