DataArray to Zarr

[skgbanga]

Currently, there is a way in which a Dataset can be stored in zarr and it is described at:
http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/io.html?highlight=zarr#zarr

Is there a way to store DataArray into zarr directly as well?

PS: One can always create a Dataset with a single element:

xr.Dataset({"bar": foo})

where foo is a DataArray to accomplish the above.

I was wondering if this is the recommended way.

Hi @skgbanga — yes that's currently the recommended way.

Edit: I found a way to convert this to a discussion, which is a much better match for this sort of question.

you could also use the to_dataset method:

foo.to_dataset()
# or, if foo.name is None
foo.to_dataset(name="bar")
