Sync Workflows
Synchronize Automail with Autoform in a controlled way
Sync workflows make use of the generic do_bulk_sync function, which was designed to:
Generate new Autoform links from Automail.
Update existing Autoform links by doing a smart merge of its content with what exists in Automail. The merging algorithm compares the Autoform creation timestamp with the update timestamps of each data point to know whether to keep what exists in Autoform or to overwrite with Automail data.
Load filled Autoform links back into Automail. This works for data in form, table, and file formats.
Send emails to recipient email addresses based on a flag logic.
All configurations for a specific workflow must be within the same py file.
For example, all configurations related to the Material Delivery process must be inside autoform_materialdelivery.py)
All models used for monitoring the sync process must contain the word Monitor contained in their class name and inherit the abstract mixin parent class polygon.apps.app_autoform.models.AutoformRequestMixin.
How to use it?
Example
try:
from _init import * # DEV env
except ImportError:
from configurations.workflow_env import * # PROD env
from polygon.apps.app_autoform.sync import do_bulk_sync

)Important design considerations
do_bulk_sync has 1 input parameter params, which is a dictionary.
The sync feature has a validation function that will prevent do_bulk_sync from running if it detects anomalies (i.e. the execution is exited through asserts).
The value of each key and sub-key in params can either be any non-callable Python object (e.g. int, str, dict, list, etc.) or a function.
All functions must have the input parameter monitor, which refers to the current monitor row from the queryset.
Lambda functions are short, inline, unnamed functions defined using the lambda keyword, whereas regular functions are defined using the def keyword and can have multiple statements.
For simple cases such as getting or setting a monitor field, use an inline Python lambda function. For more complex cases, use regular Python functions.
In most cases, it is better to have your custom functions executed within sync. To do so, pass the function as a parameter without compiling it in the py file.
In the example code, get_hanger_reference_options_config will execute directly in the py file as the function is provided using the parenthesis:
"hanger_reference_options_config": get_hanger_reference_options_config(),Whereas in the following code, get_hanger_reference_options_config would be executed later in the sync as the function is provided without the parenthesis:
"hanger_reference_options_config": get_hanger_reference_options_config,get_hanger_reference_options_config would then be defined within the py file with the input param monitor:
def get_hanger_reference_options_config(monitor):
hanger_reference_list = [
value for value in list(
custom_models.Hanger.objects.filter(material__material_type="PLASTIC")
.values_list("reference", flat=True)
.distinct()
)
]
hanger_reference_options_config = []
for reference in hanger_reference_list:
option = {
"item_value": reference,
"label_map": {"en": reference},
"options": [
{"item_value": value, "label": value}
for value in custom_models.Hanger.objects.filter(reference=reference, material__material_type="PLASTIC")
.values_list("search_reference_suggestion_text", flat=True)
.distinct()
],
}
hanger_reference_options_config.append(option)
return hanger_reference_options_configmonitor refers to a given row of queryset. The input parameter of any provided function would always be monitor even if the model was called MonitorEcoPack.
If additional variables are needed within the workflow, you can add them to the monitor object even if they are not fields defined in the corresponding Monitor model. This is done in the example above for deadline_verbose, which is set in set_monitor_email_variables to be used as email variables, but it is not a field in monitor.
