rail.core.factory_mixin module

class rail.core.factory_mixin.RailFactoryMixin

Bases: object

A Factory can make specific type or types of components, assign names to each, and keep track of what it has made.

This implements:

1. having a single instance of each sub-class of factory,

2. having the factory be abble to handle one or more client classes,

3. creating objects of the sub-classes from yaml,

4. keeping track of the created object in dictionaries keyed by name,

5. writing the current content of the factory to a yaml file.

__init__()

Return type:

None

add_dict(configurable_class)

Add a dictionary for one of the client classes

Parameters:

configurable_class (type[C]) – Client class in question

Returns:

Newly created emtpy dict

Return type:

dict[str, C]

Notes

This should be called in the c’tor of the factory for each of the client classes

add_to_dict(the_object)

Add an object one of ‘C’ client class to the corresponding dict

Parameters:

the_object (C) – Object in question

Return type:

None

Notes

This should be called by the factory when inserting objects of the client classes

classmethod clear()

Return type:

None

clear_instance()

Return type:

None

client_classes: list[type[Configurable]]

classmethod instance()

Return type:

T

load_instance_yaml(yaml_file)

Return type:

None

Notes

See class description for yaml file syntax

load_instance_yaml_tag(yaml_config, from_file)

Parameters:

• yaml_config (list[dict[str, Any]]) – Yaml tag to load

• from_file (str) – File it was loaded from, used to aviod reloading

Return type:

None

Notes

See class description for yaml file syntax

load_object_from_yaml_tag(configurable_class, yaml_tag)
