# Description
There are times where explicitly specifying a schema for a dataframe is
needed such as:
- Opening CSV and JSON lines files and needing provide more information
to polars to keep it from failing or in a desire to override default
type conversion
- When converting a nushell value to a dataframe and wanting to override
the default conversion behaviors.
This pull requests provides:
- A flag to allow specifying a schema when using dfr into-df
- A flag to allow specifying a schema when using dfr open that works for
CSV and JSON types
- A new command `dfr schema` which displays schema information and will
allow display support schema dtypes
Schema is specified creating a record that has the key value and the
dtype. Examples usages:
```
{a:1, b:{a:2}} | dfr into-df -s {a: u8, b: {a: i32}} | dfr schema
{a: 1, b: {a: [1 2 3]}, c: [a b c]} | dfr into-df -s {a: u8, b: {a: list<u64>}, c: list<str>} | dfr schema
dfr open -s {pid: i32, ppid: i32, name: str, status: str, cpu: f64, mem: i64, virtual: i64} /tmp/ps.jsonl | dfr schema
```
Supported dtypes:
null
bool
u8
u16
u32
u64
i8
i16
i32
i64
f32
f64
str
binary
date
datetime[time_unit: (ms, us, ns) timezone (optional)]
duration[time_unit: (ms, us, ns)]
time
object
unknown
list[dtype]
structs are also supported but are specified via another record:
{a: u8, b: {d: str}}
Another feature with the dfr schema command is that it returns the data
back in a format that can be passed to provide a valid schema that can
be passed in as schema argument:
