repo name for Definition similar to @repository

[CHB-BH]

Hi Dagster Team,

Is it possible to add repo_name to a Definition? e.g. in @repository, we can do

@repository(name="my_repo_name"):
    return [......]

Is it possible to do something like this?

Definition(name="my_repo_name", assets=[......])

Will @repository be deprecated in the future, or can we continue to use @repository?

Thanks.

Hi, it is not possible because the name argument of @repository was designed for distinguishing multiple repositories within a code location, but there can be only one Definitions per code location. This always receives a default name.

Will @repository be deprecated in the future.

Yes. You should switch to Definitions if possible.
