Generate ERDDAP datasets.xml configs based on NetCDF files and Sensor Tracker metadata.

Usage

usage: generator.py [-h] NetCDF_file sensor_tracker_url [mode]

Generate an ERDDAP config based on sample data and Sensor Tracker

positional arguments:
  NetCDF_file
  sensor_tracker_url
  mode                mode specifies the template set to use.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help          show this help message and exit

Expanding the generator

The config generator can be expanded by creating new files in the templates folder. These files should have the same name as the mode being added. for the slocum mode these files are called slocum.xml and slocum.json

Relevant files:

• xml file
  • a jinja2 template setting the overall layout of the datasets config as well as any static parameters that are not set based on variables
• json file
  • additional attributes which should be added. Top level keys are variable names in the target NetCDF and the values should be a dictionary of attribute to be added to that variable. Useful for cf_role attributes
