Template multiplexing with action hooks
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The big idea: make it easier for hooks to customize *what* template(s) are rendered by moving more of the process into hooks—including template rendering itself.
|
|
|
|
Required:
|
|
|
|
* Add some sort of ordering for hooks
|
|
Thinking an enum of named stages: data adders, data mungers, filters, actions.
|
|
The return value of ``hooks.load_all()`` must respect this ordering.
|
|
|
|
* Make the main loop seed the entry data with information about the importer used.
|
|
|
|
* Move template rendering into a hook, where the template to load is determined by a value in the entry data.
|
|
|
|
Extra customizations after that's done:
|
|
|
|
* Add a hook that simply reads information from a configuration file section ``[template variables]`` and adds it to the entry data.
|
|
|
|
* Add a hook that changes what template to use based on other entry data. (This needs more specification.)

User niceties
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
These haven't been requested yet but it's easy to imagine how they make the program more user-friendly.
|
|
|
|
* ``load_hooks`` and ``skip_hooks`` configuration options to limit what hooks are used.
|
|
Setting ``load_hooks`` means "skip everything not in this list."
|
|
Not setting ``load_hooks`` means "only skip what's listed in ``skip_hooks``."
|
|
If neither setting is set, ``skip_hooks`` should default to a list of hooks that have business-specific logic (currently just ``add_entity``).
|
|
If a hook is listed in both, it's either skipped or a configuration error (TBD).
|
|
* Try all importers even after one fails
|
|
* Clean up error reporting on bad configuration file syntax.
|
|
|
|
Code infrastructure
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* Open files for import in binary mode; add a text-wrapping importer base
|
|
* Write a utility dict transformer. Given a source dictionary, it returns something like ``{new_key: transform(source[old_key]) for old_key, transform, new_key in configuration}``.
|
|
A lot of the CSV importers are doing this ad hoc now, so refactoring out a common way to do it could help speed up development of future importers.
