lucifiers¶
A lucifier is a Python class that extends the Lucifier base class. the main method that needs to be implemented is called process_dictlet(). If a lucifier comes with it’s own command-line options, you’ll probably also have to implement a custom constructor (as for example MetadataLucifier does).

Developing a lucifier that parses a directory of yaml files¶
As an example, let’s create a lucifier that reads a directory full of yaml files recursively, and then
