Dynamically Creating Views

Help

Problem

I have a table which holds different products and I need to dynamically create a view for each product in the table. For example, if 3 new products is added to the table, I need to create 3 new views.

Currently I have a macro to run a query on the table for all distinct products and then iterate over them, creating views.

Simplified Code:

{% macro create_consumption_views() %}

    {% set products = run_query(updated_products_query) %}

    {% for product in products %}
        CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW `{{ view_name }}`
        AS SELECT * FROM {{ ref('my table') }}
        WHERE product = "{{ product }}"

    {% endfor %}

{% endmacro %}

Is there a more idiomatic way to do this? I have heard that DDL statements in dbt aren’t generally recommended since it tries to abstract these away.
