Referring to dbt models and sources from a Python context

fal introduces variables and functions in the context of a script to make it easier to interact with your data.

You can reference a model just like you do from dbt with a simple use of the familiar ref function. The same can be done for source relations with the source function.

model_df = ref('my_model') # pandas.DataFrame
source_df = source('schema', 'table') # pandas.DataFrame

And when a script is attached to a model, the context also includes information about the model the script is attached to:

context.current_model.name
context.current_model.meta.get("owner")
