Paths
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Webapp
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
These are the path you see in the browser (AngularJS does client-side routing: no request is issued to the web server, during navigation, if not for fetching data and issuing commands):
|
|
|
|
- /#/events - the list of events
|
|
- /#/event/new - edit form to create a new event
|
|
- /#/event/:event_id - show information about an existing event (contains the list of registered persons)
|
|
- /#/event/:event_id/edit - edit form to modify an existing event
|
|
- /#/persons - the list of persons
|
|
- /#/person/new - edit form to create a new person
|
|
- /#/person/:person_id - show information about an existing person (contains the list of events the person registered for)
|
|
- /#/person/:person_id/edit - edit form to modify an existing person
|
|
- /#/import/persons - form used to import persons in bulk
|
|
|
|
|
|
Web server
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The paths used to communicate with the Tornado web server:
|
|
|
|
- /events GET - return the list of events
|
|
- /events POST - store a new event
|
|
- /events/:event_id GET - return information about an existing event
|
|
- /events/:event_id POST - update an existing event
|
|
- /events/:event_id DELETE - delete an existing event
|
|
- /persons GET - return the list of persons
|
|
- /persons POST - store a new person
|
|
- /persons/:person_id GET - return information about an existing person
|
|
- /persons/:person_id POST - update an existing person
|
|
- /persons/:person_id DELETE - delete an existing person
|
|
- /events/:event_id/persons/:person_id PUT - update the information about a person related to a given event (e.g.: if the person attended)
|
|
- /persons/:person_id/events GET - the list of events the person registered for
|
|
- /ebcsvpersons POST - csv file upload to import persons
|
|
|
|
|
|
Triggers
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Sometimes we have to execute some script in reaction to an event.
|
|
|
|
In the **data/triggers** we have a series of directories; scripts inside of them will be executed when the related action was performed on the GUI or calling the controller.
|
|
|
|
Available triggers:
|
|
- **update_person_in_event**: executed every time a person data in a given event is updated.
|
|
- **attends**: executed only when a person is marked as attending an event.
|
|
|
|
update_person_in_event and attends will receive these information:
|
|
- via *environment*:
|
|
- NAME
|
|
- SURNAME
|
|
- EMAIL
|
|
- COMPANY
|
|
- JOB
|
|
- PERSON_ID
|
|
- EVENT_ID
|
|
- EVENT_TITLE
|
|
- via stdin, a dictionary containing:
|
|
- dictionary **old** with the old data of the person
|
|
- dictionary **new** with the new data of the person
|
|
- dictionary **event** with the event information
|
|
- boolean **merged**, true if the data was updated
|
|
|
|
In the **data/triggers-available** there is an example of script: **echo.py**.
|
|
|
|
Database layout
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Information are stored in MongoDB. Whenever possible, object are converted
|
|
into integer, native ObjectId and datetime.
|
|
|
|
events collection
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Stores information about events and persons registered for a given event.
|
|
|
|
Please notice that information about a person registered for a given event is solely taken from the event.persons entry, and not to the relative entry in the persons collection. This may change in the future (to integrate missing information), but in general it is correct that, editing (or deleting) a person, older information about the partecipation to an event is not changed.

Main field:
|
|
|
|
- title
|
|
- begin-data
|
|
- begin-time
|
|
- end-date
|
|
- end-time
|
|
- persons - a list of information about registered persons
|
|
- persons.$.person_id
|
|
- persons.$.attended
|
|
- persons.$.name
|
|
- persons.$.surname
|
|
- persons.$.email

persons collection
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Basic information about a person:
|
|
- persons.name
|
|
- persons.surname
|
|
- persons.email
|
|
- persons.company

TODO

|
====
|
|
|
|
Next to be done
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
- handle datetimes (on GUI with a calendar and on the backend deserializing ISO 8601 strings)
|
|
- modal on event/person removal
|
|
|
|
Nice to have
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
- a test suite
|
|
- join the page used to add persons/events into the lists (shown when the filter field returns nothing and/or when a button is pressed)
|
|
- notifications for form editing and other actions
|
|
- authentication for administrators
|
|
- i18n
|
|
- logging and debugging code
