@transform( |input|_, |filter|_, |replace_inputs|_ | |add_inputs|_, |output|_, [|extras|_,...] )
################################################################################################################################################
**Purpose:**
Applies the task function to transform data from |input|_ to |output|_ files.
This variant of ``@transform`` allows additional inputs or dependencies to be added
dynamically to the task.
Output file names are specified from |input|_, i.e. from the |output|_
of specified tasks, or a list of file names, or a |glob|_ matching pattern.
This variant of ``@transform`` allows additional or replacement input file names to be derived in the same way.
String replacement occurs either through suffix matches via :ref:`suffix<decorators.suffix>` or
the :ref:`formatter<decorators.formatter>` or :ref:`regex<decorators.regex>` indicators.
It is a **one to one** operation.
:ref:`add_inputs(...)<decorators.add_inputs>` nests the the original input parameters in a list before adding additional dependencies.
:ref:`inputs(...)<decorators.inputs>` replaces the original input parameters wholescale.
Only out of date tasks (comparing input and output files) will be run
**Example of** :ref:`add_inputs(...)<decorators.add_inputs>`
A common task in compiling C code is to include the corresponding header file for the source.
To compile ``*.c`` to ``*.o``, adding ``*.h`` and the common header ``universal.h``:
::
@transform(["1.c", "2.c"], suffix(".c"), add_inputs([r"\1.h", "universal.h"]), ".o")
def compile(infile, outfile):
pass
This will result in the following functional calls:
::
compile(["1.c", "1.h", "universal.h"], "1.o")
compile(["2.c", "2.h", "universal.h"], "2.o")
**Example of** :ref:`inputs(...)<decorators.inputs>`
:ref:`inputs(...)<decorators.inputs>` allows the original input parameters to be replaced wholescale.
This can be seen in the following example:
::
@transform(input = [ ["1.c", "A.c", 2]
["2.c", "B.c", "C.c", 3]],
filter = suffix(".c"),
replace_inputs = inputs([r"\1.py", "docs.rst"]),
output = ".pyc")
def compile(infile, outfile):
pass
This will result in the following functional calls:
::
compile(["1.py", "docs.rst"], "1.pyc")
compile(["2.py", "docs.rst"], "2.pyc")
**Parameters:**
.. _decorators.transform_ex.input:
* **input** = *tasks_or_file_names*
can be a:
#. Task / list of tasks (as in the example above).
File names are taken from the |output|_ of the specified task(s)
#. (Nested) list of file name strings.
File names containing ``*[]?`` will be expanded as a |glob|_.
E.g.:``"a.*" => "a.1", "a.2"``
.. _decorators.transform_ex.filter:
.. _decorators.transform_ex.suffix_string:
* **filter** = *suffix(suffix_string)*
must be wrapped in a :ref:`suffix<decorators.suffix>` indicator object.
The end of each |input|_ file name which matches ``suffix_string`` will be replaced by |output|_.
Thus::
@transform(input = ["a.c", "b.c"],
filter = suffix(".c"),
output = ".o")
def compile(infile, outfile):
pass
will result in the following function calls::
compile("a.c", "a.o")
compile("b.c", "b.o")
File names which do not match suffix_string will be ignored
.. _decorators.transform_ex.matching_regex:
* **filter** = *regex(matching_regex)*
is a python regular expression string, which must be wrapped in
a :ref:`regex<decorators.regex>` indicator object
See python `regular expression (re) <http://docs.python.org/library/re.html>`_
documentation for details of regular expression syntax
Each output file name is created using regular expression substitution with ``output``
.. _decorators.transform_ex.matching_formatter:
* **filter** = *formatter(...)*
a :ref:`formatter<decorators.formatter>` indicator object containing optionally
a python `regular expression (re) <http://docs.python.org/library/re.html>`_.
.. _decorators.transform_ex.add_inputs:
.. _decorators.transform_ex.replace_inputs:
* **add_inputs** = *add_inputs*\ (...) or **replace_inputs** = *inputs*\ (...)
Specifies the resulting |input|_\ (s) to each job.
Positional parameters must be disambiguated by wrapping the values in :ref:`inputs(...)<decorators.inputs>` or an :ref:`add_inputs(...)<decorators.add_inputs>`.
Named parameters can be passed the values directly.
Takes:
#. Task / list of tasks.
File names are taken from the output of the specified task(s)
#. (Nested) list of file name strings.
Strings will be subject to substitution.
File names containing ``*[]?`` will be expanded as a |glob|_.
E.g. ``"a.*" => "a.1", "a.2"``
.. _decorators.transform_ex.output:
* **output** = *output*
Specifies the resulting |output|_ file name(s) after string substitution
.. _decorators.transform_ex.extras:
* **extras** = *extras*
Any extra parameters are passed verbatim to the task function
If you are using named parameters, these can be passed as a list, i.e. ``extras= [...]``
Any extra parameters are consumed by the task function and not forwarded further down the pipeline.
If the ``regex(...)`` or ``formatter(...)`` parameter is used, then substitution
is first applied to (even nested) string parameters. Other data types are passed
verbatim.
For example::
@transform(["a.c", "b.c"], regex(r"(.*).c"), inputs(r"\1.c", r"\1.h", "universal.h"), r"\1.o", r"\1")
def compile(infiles, outfile, file_name_root):
# do something here
pass
will result in the following function calls::
compile(["1.c", "1.h", "universal.h"], "1.o", "1")
compile(["2.c", "2.h", "universal.h"], "2.o", "2")
See :ref:`here <decorators.transform>` for more straightforward ways to use transform.
