Examples

Here you‘ll find various examples, some relatively simple, to a few that are more complex. As you can see there are MANY examples, that are mostly organized by a thematic topic that matches the folder name they’re in.

Note: hub.dagworks.io is also a good spot to find Hamilton examples.

If you have questions, or need help with these examples, join us on slack, and we'll try to help!

Running examples through a docker image

Examples could also be executed through a docker image which you can build or pull yourself. Each example directory inside docker image contains a hamilton-env Python virtual environment. hamilton-env environment contains all the dependencies required to run the example.

NOTE: If you already have the container image you can skip to container initialization (step 3).

1. Change directory to examples.

cd hamilton/examples

2. Build the container image.

docker build --tag hamilton-example .

Docker build takes around 6m16.298s depending on the system configuration and network. Alternatively, you can pull the container image from https://hub.docker.com/r/skrawcz/sf-hamilton. docker pull skrawcz/sf-hamilton.

3. Starting the container. If you built it yourself:

docker run -it --rm --name hamilton-example hamilton-example

If you pulled it from dockerhub:

docker run -it --rm --name hamilton-example skrawcz/sf-hamilton

This will start the container and put you into a bash prompt.

4. Start running examples. E.g. running the hello_world example inside the container:

cd hamilton/examples/hello_world
source hamilton-env/bin/activate  # this will activate the right python environment
python my_script.py
deactivate # this will deactivate the virtual environment so you can activate another

To run another example:

1. change directory to it.
2. activate the environment (source hamilton-env/bin/activate).
3. run the code, e.g. python run.py.
4. deactivate the environment (deactivate). And then exit to quit out of the running docker container.
