you can pass dictionaries as keys in grid, but I'm unsure if this is what you're looking for:
Copy code
grid:
some_dict:
some_key: some_value Copy code
name: some-task-[[some_dict.some_key]][[something.another]]j

12/30/2022, 10:25 AMYeah I mean I'd rather have those configs somewhere else than env.yaml or pipeline.yaml because I have many of them

12/30/2022, 10:25 AMFor now I just pass their filenames as params in grid - how does Ploomber compare to Hydra? 😄

12/30/2022, 10:26 AMI mean Hydra kinda does this, but I'd much rather have small subset of Hydra functionality in Ploomber than move from Ploomber

12/30/2022, 10:33 AMFor starters I remember I tried using decorators to add type validation (I mean I'd load JSON from somewhere and then convert it to my config classes) and it was cumbersome

12/30/2022, 10:33 AMA concrete idea for implementation would be to add integration with dataclasses, something like Pydantic in FastAPI

12/30/2022, 10:34 AM@Eduardo thanks for being a rubber duck XD I think I'll write a proposal for this (I imagine it won't be hard but it requires understanding how ploomber calls stuff)

it's a bit difficult for me to understand how the API looks like since i've never used Hydra, so yeah, feel free to write an API proposal, we can work it out and then you can submit a PR. I can help navigating the different modules to understand how ploomber calls things!
