stalker.models.status.StatusList

Inheritance diagram of stalker.models.status.StatusList
class stalker.models.status.StatusList(statuses=None, target_entity_type=None, **kwargs)

Bases: stalker.models.entity.Entity, stalker.models.mixins.TargetEntityTypeMixin

Type specific list of Status instances.

Holds multiple Statuses to be used as a choice list for several other classes.

A StatusList can only be assigned to only one entity type. So a Project can only have one suitable StatusList object which is designed for Project entities.

The list of statuses in StatusList can be accessed by using a list like indexing and it also supports string indexes only for getting the item, you can not set an item with string indices:

>>> from stalker import Status, StatusList
>>> status1 = Status(name="Complete", code="CMPLT")
>>> status2 = Status(name="Work in Progress", code="WIP")
>>> status3 = Status(name="Pending Review", code="PRev")
>>> a_status_list = StatusList(name="Asset Status List",
                               statuses=[status1, status2, status3],
                               target_entity_type="Asset")
>>> a_status_list[0]
<Status (Complete, CMPLT)>
>>> a_status_list["complete"]
<Status (Complete, CMPLT)>
>>> a_status_list["WIP"]
<Status (Work in Progress, WIP)>
Parameters:
  • statuses – This is a list of Status instances, so you can prepare different StatusLists for different kind of entities using the same pool of Statuses.
  • target_entity_type

    use this parameter to specify the target entity type that this StatusList is designed for. It accepts classes or names of classes.

    For example:

    from stalker import Status, StatusList, Project
    
    status_list = [
        Status(name="Waiting To Start", code="WTS"),
        Status(name="On Hold", code="OH"),
        Status(name="In Progress", code="WIP"),
        Status(name="Waiting Review", code="WREV"),
        Status(name="Approved", code="APP"),
        Status(name="Completed", code="CMPLT"),
    ]
    
    project_status_list = StatusList(
        name="Project Status List",
        statuses=status_list,
        target_entity_type="Project"
    )
    
    # or
    project_status_list = StatusList(
        name="Project Status List",
        statuses=status_list,
        target_entity_type=Project
    )
    

    now with the code above you can not assign the project_status_list object to any other class than a Project object.

    The StatusList instance can be empty, means it may not have anything in its StatusList.statuses. But it is useless. The validation for empty statuses list is left to the SOM user.

date_created

A datetime.datetime instance showing the creation date and time of this object.

date_updated

A datetime.datetime instance showing the update date and time of this object.

description

Description of this object.

generic_data

This attribute can hold any kind of data which exists in SOM.

generic_text

This attribute can hold any text.

name

Name of this object

nice_name

Nice name of this object.

It has the same value with the name (contextually) but with a different format like, all the white spaces replaced by underscores (“_”), all the CamelCase form will be expanded by underscore (_) characters and it is always lower case.

notes

All the Notess attached to this entity.

It is a list of Note instances or an empty list, setting it to None will raise a TypeError.

plural_class_name

the plural name of this class

statuses

List of Status objects, showing the possible statuses

tags

A list of tags attached to this object.

It is a list of Tag instances which shows the tags of this object

target_entity_type

The entity type which this object is valid for.

Usually it is set to the TargetClass directly.

tjp_id

returns TaskJuggler compatible id

to_tjp

renders a TaskJuggler compliant string used for TaskJuggler integration. Needs to be overridden in inherited classes.

type

The type of the object.

It is a Type instance with a proper Type.target_entity_type.

type_id

The id of the Type of this entity. Mainly used by SQLAlchemy to create a Many-to-One relates between SimpleEntities and Types.

updated_by

The User who has updated this object.

updated_by_id

The id of the User who has updated this entity.
