📄️ adapter
Your database communicates with dbt using an internal database adapter object. For example, BaseAdapter and SnowflakeAdapter. The Jinja object adapter is a wrapper around this internal database adapter object.
📄️ as_bool
The as_bool Jinja filter will coerce Jinja-compiled output into a boolean
📄️ as_native
The as_native Jinja filter will coerce Jinja-compiled output into its
📄️ as_number
The as_number Jinja filter will coerce Jinja-compiled output into a numeric
📄️ as_text
The as_text Jinja filter will coerce Jinja-compiled output back to text. It

Overview
📄️ dbt_project.yml Context
The compilation context of the dbt_project.yml file is well-defined as
📄️ dbt_version
New in 0.16.0
📄️ debug
The debug macro is new in dbt v0.14.1, and is only intended to be used in a development context with dbt. Do not deploy code to production which uses the debug macro.
📄️ dispatch
- v1.0.0: The 'packages' argument is fully deprecated. Use macro_namespace and project-level dispatch config instead.
📄️ doc
The doc function is used to reference docs blocks in the description field of schema.yml files. It is analogous to the ref function. For more information, consult the Documentation guide.
📄️ env_var
The envvar function can be used to incorporate Environment Variables from the system into your dbt project. This envvar function can be used in your profiles.yml file, the dbtproject.yml file, the sources.yml file, your schema.yml files, and in model .sql files. Essentially envvar is available anywhere dbt processes jinja code.
📄️ exceptions
The exceptions namespace can be used to raise warnings and errors in dbt userspace.
📄️ execute
execute is a Jinja variable that returns True when dbt is in "execute" mode.
📄️ flags
The flags variable contains values of flags provided on the command line.
📄️ fromjson
The fromjson context method can be used to deserialize a json string into a Python object primitive, eg. a dict or list.
📄️ fromyaml
The fromyaml context method can be used to deserialize a yaml string into a Python object primitive, eg. a dict or list.
📄️ graph
The graph context variable contains information about the nodes in your dbt
📄️ invocation_id
The invocation_id outputs a UUID generated for this dbt command. This value is
📄️ local_md5
The localmd5 context variable calculates an MD5 hash of the given string. The string localmd5 emphasizes that the hash is calculated locally, in the dbt-Jinja context. This variable is typically useful for advanced use cases. For example, when you generate unique identifiers within custom materialization or operational logic, you can either avoid collisions between temporary relations or identify changes by comparing checksums.
📄️ log
Args:
📄️ model
model is the dbt graph object (or node) for the current model. It can be used to:
📄️ modules
The modules variable in the Jinja context contains useful Python modules for operating on data.
📄️ on-run-end Context
These variables are only available in the context for on-run-end hooks. They will evaluate to none if used outside of an on-run-end hook!
📄️ print

📄️ profiles.yml Context
The following context variables and methods are available when configuring
📄️ project_name

📄️ ref

📄️ return
Args:
📄️ run_query
The run_query macro provides a convenient way to run queries and fetch their results. It is a wrapper around the statement block, which is more flexible, but also more complicated to use.
📄️ run_started_at
runstartedat outputs the timestamp that this run started, e.g. 2017-04-21 0145.678.
📄️ schema
The schema that the model is configured to be materialized in. This is typically the same as model['schema'].
📄️ schemas
schemas is a variable available in an on-run-end hook, representing a list of schemas that dbt built objects in on this run.
📄️ selected_resources
The selectedresources context variable contains a list of all the nodes_

Definition
📄️ statement blocks
statements are sql queries that hit the database and return results to your Jinja context. Here’s an example of a statement which gets all of the states from a users .
📄️ target
target contains information about your connection to the warehouse.
📄️ this
this is the database representation of the current model. It is useful when:
📄️ tojson
The tojson context method can be used to serialize a Python object primitive, eg. a dict or list to a JSON string.
📄️ toyaml
The toyaml context method can be used to serialize a Python object primitive, eg. a dict or list to a yaml string.
📄️ var
Variables can be passed from your dbt_project.yml file into models during compilation.
