Restore Views
=============

Restore views that were previously backed up in the local file system into a project. The expected format of the
view files is JSON. If one or more tables that are referenced by the backed up view do not exist anymore, the restoration will fail.

.. code-block:: bash

  opal restore-view <CREDENTIALS> [OPTIONS] [XTRAS]

Options

``--input INPUT, -in INPUT``                         Input directory name (default is current directory)
