The basic logic is similar to items, where you can request single
item statistics with a UUID, all item statistics, and item statis-
tics for a list of items (optionally with a date range). Most of
the item code was re-purposed to work on "elements", which can be
items, communities, or collections depending on the request, with
the use of Falcon's `before` hooks to set the statistics scope so
we know how to behave for the current request.
Other than the minor difference in facet fields, another issue I
had with communities and collections is that the owningComm and
owningColl fields are multi-valued (unlike items' id field). This
means that, when you facet the results of your query, Solr returns
ids that seem unrelated, but are actually present in the field, so
I had to make sure I checked all returned ids to see if they were
in the user's POSTed elements list.
TODO:
- Add tests
- Revise docstrings
- Refactor items.py as it is now generic
A few months ago I had an issue setting up mocking because I was
trying to be clever importing these libraries only when I needed
them rather than at the global scope. Someone pointed out to me
that if the imports are at the top of the file Falcon will load
them once when the WSGI server starts, whereas if they are in the
on_get() or on_post() they will load for every request! Also, it
seems that PEP8 recommends keeping imports at the top of the file
anyways, so I will just do that.
Imports sorted with isort.
See: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#imports
You can now POST a JSON request to /items with a list of items and
a date range. This allows the possibility to get view and download
statistics for arbitrary items and arbitrary date ranges.
The JSON request should be in the following format:
{
"limit": 100,
"page": 0,
"dateFrom": "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"dateTo": "2020-09-09T00:00:00Z",
"items": [
"f44cf173-2344-4eb2-8f00-ee55df32c76f",
"2324aa41-e9de-4a2b-bc36-16241464683e",
"8542f9da-9ce1-4614-abf4-f2e3fdb4b305",
"0fe573e7-042a-4240-a4d9-753b61233908"
]
}
The limit, page, and date parameters are all optional. By default
it will use a limit of 100, page 0, and [* TO *] Solr date range.
