# `prefect_dbt.cli.credentials`

Module containing credentials for interacting with dbt CLI

## Functions

### `target_configs_discriminator` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/integrations/prefect-dbt/prefect_dbt/cli/credentials.py#L26" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
target_configs_discriminator(v: Any) -> str
```

Discriminator function for target configs. Returns the block type slug.

## Classes

### `DbtCliProfile` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/integrations/prefect-dbt/prefect_dbt/cli/credentials.py#L38" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

Profile for use across dbt CLI tasks and flows.

**Attributes:**

* `name`: Profile name used for populating profiles.yml.
* `target`: The default target your dbt project will use.
* `target_configs`: Target configs contain credentials and
  settings, specific to the warehouse you're connecting to.
  To find valid keys, head to the [Available adapters](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/available-adapters) page and
  click the desired adapter's "Profile Setup" hyperlink.
* `global_configs`: Global configs control
  things like the visual output of logs, the manner
  in which dbt parses your project, and what to do when
  dbt finds a version mismatch or a failing model.
  Valid keys can be found [here](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/global-configs).

**Examples:**

Load stored dbt CLI profile:

```python  theme={null}
from prefect_dbt.cli import DbtCliProfile
dbt_cli_profile = DbtCliProfile.load("BLOCK_NAME").get_profile()
```

Get a dbt Snowflake profile from DbtCliProfile by using SnowflakeTargetConfigs:

```python  theme={null}
from prefect_dbt.cli import DbtCliProfile
from prefect_dbt.cli.configs import SnowflakeTargetConfigs
from prefect_snowflake.credentials import SnowflakeCredentials
from prefect_snowflake.database import SnowflakeConnector

credentials = SnowflakeCredentials(
    user="user",
    password="password",
    account="account.region.aws",
    role="role",
)
connector = SnowflakeConnector(
    schema="public",
    database="database",
    warehouse="warehouse",
    credentials=credentials,
)
target_configs = SnowflakeTargetConfigs(
    connector=connector
)
dbt_cli_profile = DbtCliProfile(
    name="jaffle_shop",
    target="dev",
    target_configs=target_configs,
)
profile = dbt_cli_profile.get_profile()
```

Get a dbt Redshift profile from DbtCliProfile by using generic TargetConfigs:

```python  theme={null}
from prefect_dbt.cli import DbtCliProfile
from prefect_dbt.cli.configs import GlobalConfigs, TargetConfigs

target_configs_extras = dict(
    host="hostname.region.redshift.amazonaws.com",
    user="username",
    password="password1",
    port=5439,
    dbname="analytics",
)
target_configs = TargetConfigs(
    type="redshift",
    schema="schema",
    threads=4,
    extras=target_configs_extras
)
dbt_cli_profile = DbtCliProfile(
    name="jaffle_shop",
    target="dev",
    target_configs=target_configs,
)
profile = dbt_cli_profile.get_profile()
```

**Methods:**

#### `get_profile` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/integrations/prefect-dbt/prefect_dbt/cli/credentials.py#L155" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
get_profile(self) -> Dict[str, Any]
```

Returns the dbt profile, likely used for writing to profiles.yml.

**Returns:**

* A JSON compatible dictionary with the expected format of profiles.yml.
