FlowElement Class Reference

Detailed Description

A FlowElement is placed inside a pipeline It receives Evidence via a FlowData object It uses this to optionally create ElementData on the Flowdata It has a unique dataKey which is used to extract data from the FlowData Any errors in processing are caught in the FlowData's errors object.

Examples

clientSideEvidenceFlowElement.js, and simpleEvidenceFlowElement.js.

◆ constructor()

FlowElement::constructor

(

{ processInternal, dataKey, properties={}, evidenceKeyFilter } = {}

)

inline

Constructor for flowElement class.

Parameters

{object} - options options for the FlowElement

{string} - options.dataKey the dataKey the flowElement's elementData will be stored under

{Function} - options.processInternal callback to act on flowData

{object} - options.properties list of properties including metadata

{EvidenceKeyFilter} - options.evidenceKeyFilter an instance of an EvidenceKeyFilter to filter evidence added to the Pipeline

◆ getProperties()

FlowElement::getProperties

(

)

inline

Get a flowElement's properties.

By default returns a promise wrapped version of the object's properties list Can return standard value or promise

Returns

{object} dictionary of properties

◆ onRegistration()

FlowElement::onRegistration	(		pipeline,
			flowElement
	)

inline

Internal function to be called when a FlowElement is added to pipeline, runs through any registrationCallbacks on the FlowElement.

Parameters

{Pipeline} - pipeline the Pipeline the FlowElement is registered with

{FlowElement} - flowElement The FlowElement the registration callback is called on

◆ process()

FlowElement::process

(

flowData

)

inline

To allow actions to take place before and after a FlowElement's processInternal function runs, a process wrapper is run first.

Parameters

{FlowData} - flowData FlowData being processed

Returns

{Promise} FlowData after processing

◆ processInternal()

FlowElement::processInternal

(

flowData

)

inline

Internal process function for a particular flowElement called (via the flowElement.process() method) when flowData generated by a pipleline is processsed.

Overriden by instances of this base class

Parameters

{FlowData} - flowData FlowData being processed

Returns

{Mixed} result of processing

◆ ready()

FlowElement::ready

(

)

inline

Function called to check if a FlowElement is ready Used when there are asynchronous initialisation steps.

Returns

{Promise}

◆ updateProperties()

FlowElement::updateProperties

(

)

inline

Call this function to update the properties meta database in all the pipelines this flowElement has been added to.

Returns

{Promise} notification of complete updates
