# Description
When implementing a `Command`, one must also import all the types
present in the function signatures for `Command`. This makes it so that
we often import the same set of types in each command implementation
file. E.g., something like this:
```rust
use nu_protocol::ast::Call;
use nu_protocol::engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack};
use nu_protocol::{
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, PipelineData,
ShellError, Signature, Span, Type, Value,
};
```
This PR adds the `nu_engine::command_prelude` module which contains the
necessary and commonly used types to implement a `Command`:
```rust
// command_prelude.rs
pub use crate::CallExt;
pub use nu_protocol::{
ast::{Call, CellPath},
engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack},
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, IntoSpanned,
PipelineData, Record, ShellError, Signature, Span, Spanned, SyntaxShape, Type, Value,
};
```
This should reduce the boilerplate needed to implement a command and
also gives us a place to track the breadth of the `Command` API. I tried
to be conservative with what went into the prelude modules, since it
might be hard/annoying to remove items from the prelude in the future.
Let me know if something should be included or excluded.
# 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:

# Description
This repeats #8268 to make all command usage strings start with an
uppercase letter and end with a period per #5056
Adds a test to ensure that commands won't regress
Part of #5066
# User-Facing Changes
Command usage is now consistent
# Tests + Formatting
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`
# After Submitting
Automatic documentation updates
# Description
- Adds support for conversion between nushell lists and polars lists
instead of treating them as a polars object.
- Fixed explode and flatten to work both as expressions or lazy
dataframe commands. The previous item was required to make this work.
