Generalized Process for Catalog Integration 🚀
-
Define Catalog Structure 🏗️
- Determine the structure of the catalog, including the required fields and their data types.
- Ensure compatibility with other systems where catalog data will be synchronized.
-
Function Overriding 🔄
- Implement function overriding to extract data from the catalog table and pass it to the MainClass.
- I plan to automate or abstract this step for greater efficiency in the future.
-
Create Subscriber Class 🧑💻
- Inherit from the
SubscriberBase
class and leverage theMainClassMeta
metaclass for ease of implementation. - Customize the Subscriber class to align with your specific catalog integration requirements.
- Additional functionality can be added via function overriding and polymorphism as needed.
- Inherit from the
-
Set Up Data Synchronization 🔄🔄
- Decide on the method for data synchronization between the catalog and external systems (InSync).
- Consider options like API polling or webhooks based on your system's needs.
- Implement necessary data validation to prevent errors, duplicates, and infinite loops.
General Workflow 🔄
-
Catalog Creation 🏗️
- Create the catalog table in your database, defining the fields required for storing catalog data.
-
Main and Subscriber Classes 🧑🔬🧑💼
- Generate Main and Subscriber classes using templates from the
sync_framework
. - Customize these classes to meet the specific requirements of your catalog integration.
- Generate Main and Subscriber classes using templates from the
-
Function Overriding 🔄
- Override the save and delete methods within your classes to handle customized inward and outward synchronization behavior.
-
Outward Synchronization 🔄🌐
- Implement outward synchronization behavior within your Subscriber class.
- Define how data should be pushed from your internal system to external systems.
-
Registration with Main Class 📊
- Register your Subscriber class with the Main class to establish the synchronization process.
- Ensure that data flows seamlessly between the Main and Subscriber classes.
-
Inward Data Synchronization 🔄🔗
- Determine the approach for inward data synchronization, either via API polling or webhooks.
- Apply rigorous data validation to maintain data integrity and avoid errors.
This structured plan should help you smoothly integrate any catalog into the Syncflow framework. ✨
