Overview

Base module for all work items.

This module lacks the implementation for the data attributes. It functions as an interface that describes the common functionality regardless of the storage implementation. These attributes require some implementation:

  • parent: [Object|nil] a link to a parent work item. Work items can be organized in any hierarchy you think is

    relevant for your workflow (e.g. directory[/directory...]/file/line or library/section/book/page). Of course
hierarchies are not mandatory.

  • items: [Array] a list of child work items. see above.

  • options: [Hash] a set of options for the task chain on how to deal with this work item. This attribute can be

    used to fine-tune the behaviour of tasks for a particular work item.

  • properties: [Hash] a set of properties, typically collected during the workflow processing and used to store

    final or intermediate resulst of tasks. The ::Lias::Ingester::FileItem module uses this attribute to store the
properties (e.g. size, checksum, ...) of the file it represents.

  • status_log: [Array] a list of all status changes the work item went through.

  • summary: [Hash] collected statistics about the ingest for the work item and its children. This structure will

    be filled in by the included task ::Lias::Ingester::Tasks::Analyzer wich is appended to the workflow by default.

The module is created so that it is possible to implement an ActiveRecord/Datamapper/… implementation easily. A simple in-memory implementation would require:

attr_accessor :parent attr_accessor :items attr_accessor :options, :properties attr_accessor :status_log attr_accessor :summary

def initialize

self.parent = nil
self.items = []
self.options = {}
self.properties = {}
self.status_log = []
self.summary = {}

end

protected

## Method below should be adapted to match the implementation of the status array

def add_status_log(info)

self.status_log << info

end

def add_item(item)
  return self unless item and item.is_a?(Libis::Workflow::Base::WorkItem)
  self.items << item
  item.parent = self
  self.save!
  item.save!
  self
end

#each(&block) ⇒ Object

Iterates over the work item clients and invokes code on each of them.

def each(&block)
  self.items.each(&block)
end

#get_items ⇒ Object

Get list of items.

This method should return a list of items that is safe to iterate over while it is being altered.

def get_items

end

#get_parent ⇒ Libis::Workflow::Base::WorkItem

Return item’s parent

def get_parent
  self.parent

#get_root ⇒ Libis::Workflow::Base::WorkItem

go up the hierarchy and return the topmost work item

Returns:

end

#get_run ⇒ Libis::Workflow::Base::Run

Get the top

def get_run
  return self if self.is_a?(Libis::Workflow::Base::Run)
  self.get_parent && self.get_parent.get_run || nil
end

#name ⇒ String

String representation of the identity of the work item.

You may want to overwrite this method as it tries the :name property or whatever #inspect returns if that failes. Typically this should return the key value, file name or id number. If that’s what your :name property contains, you’re fine.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    string identification for this work item.

end

#save ⇒ Object

Dummy method. It is a placeholder for DB backed implementations. Wherever appropriate WorkItem#save will be called to save the current item’s state. If state needs to persisted, you should override this method or make sure your persistence layer implements it in your class.

def size
  self.items.size
end

#to_filename ⇒ String

File name safe version of the to_s output.

The output should be safe to use as a file name to store work item data. Typical use is when extra file items are created by a task and need to be stored on disk. The default implementation URL-encodes (%xx) all characters except alphanumeric, ‘.’ and ‘-’.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    file name
