Detailed Description

Resource.

A resource models a means to get data. URLs to data/files, API endpoints, paths to files stored locally in the server, are all possible forms of resources.

This class not only models a resource, but it helps model other properties necessary for other systems like the Drupal::metastore::ResourceMapper and Drupal::datastore::Service::ResourceLocalizer to enhance DKAN's capabilities around resources.

These properties are version and perspective.

For more details refer to the methods governing these behaviors:

1. Resource::createNewVersion()

2. Resource::createNewPerspective()

   Todo:

   Rename filePath to uri or url.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__construct()

Drupal\common\Resource::__construct	(		$file_path,
			$mime_type,
			$perspective = self::DEFAULT_SOURCE_PERSPECTIVE
	)

Constructor.

Member Function Documentation

changeFilePath()

Drupal\common\Resource::changeFilePath

(

$newPath

)

Change file path.

Definition at line 92 of file Resource.php.

createNewPerspective()

Drupal\common\Resource::createNewPerspective	(		$perspective,
			$uri
	)

Create a new perspective.

Perspectives are useful to represent clusters of connected resources.

For example, a CSV file might also have an API endpoint that makes the data available. In this circumstance we could create the API endpoint resource as a new perspective of the file resource to make the system aware of the new resource, the API endpoint, and maintain the relatioship between the 2 resources.

Definition at line 83 of file Resource.php.

createNewVersion()

Drupal\common\Resource::createNewVersion

(

)

Create a new version.

Versions are, simply, a unique "string" used to represent changes in a resource. For example, when new data is added to a file/resource a new version of the resource should be created.

This class does not have any functionality that keeps track of changes in resources, it simply models the behavior to allow other parts of the system to create new versions of resources when they deem it necessary.
