BotModel is used to handle database statements related to Bot User stories A Bot User Story consists of a sequence of patterns for what a bot should do when another user posts a request to the bot (a message beginning
__construct(string $db_name = \seekquarry\yioop\configs\DB_NAME, boolean $connect = true, $web_site = null)
Sets up the database manager that will be used and name of the search engine database
| string | $db_name | the name of the database for the search engine |
| boolean | $connect | whether to connect to the database by default after making the datasource class |
| $web_site |
fileGetContents(string $filename, boolean $force_read = false) : string
Either a wrapper for file_get_contents, or if a WebSite object is being used to serve pages, it reads it in using blocking I/O file_get_contents() and caches it before return its string contents.
Note this function assumes that only the web server is performing I/O with this file. filemtime() can be used to see if a file on disk has been changed and then you can use $force_read = true below to force re- reading the file into the cache
| string | $filename | name of file to get contents of |
| boolean | $force_read | whether to force the file to be read from presistent storage rather than the cache |
contents of the file given by $filename
filePutContents(string $filename, string $data)
Either a wrapper for file_put_contents, or if a WebSite object is being used to serve pages, writes $data to the persistent file with name $filename. Saves a copy in the RAM cache if there is a copy already there.
| string | $filename | name of file to write to persistent storages |
| string | $data | string of data to store in file |
formatSinglePageResult(array $page, array $words = null, integer $description_length = self::DEFAULT_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH) : array
Given a page summary, extracts snippets which are related to a set of search words. For each snippet, bold faces the search terms, and then creates a new summary array.
| array | $page | a single search result summary |
| array | $words | keywords (typically what was searched on) |
| integer | $description_length | length of the description |
$page which has been snippified and bold faced
getSnippets(string $text, array $words, string $description_length) : string
Given a string, extracts a snippets of text related to a given set of key words. For a given word a snippet is a window of characters to its left and right that is less than a maximum total number of characters.
There is also a rule that a snippet should avoid ending in the middle of a word
| string | $text | haystack to extract snippet from |
| array | $words | keywords used to make look in haystack |
| string | $description_length | length of the description desired |
a concatenation of the extracted snippets of each word
boldKeywords(string $text, array $words) : string
Given a string, wraps in bold html tags a set of key words it contains.
| string | $text | haystack string to look for the key words |
| array | $words | an array of words to bold face |
the resulting string after boldfacing has been applied
isSingleLocalhost(array $machine_urls, string $index_timestamp = -1) : boolean
Used to determine if an action involves just one yioop instance on the current local machine or not
| array | $machine_urls | urls of yioop instances to which the action applies |
| string | $index_timestamp | if timestamp exists checks if the index has declared itself to be a no network index. |
whether it involves a single local yioop instance (true) or not (false)
searchArrayToWhereOrderClauses(array $search_array, array $any_fields = array('status')) : array
Creates the WHERE and ORDER BY clauses for a query of a Yioop table such as USERS, ROLE, GROUP, which have associated search web forms. Searches are case insensitive
| array | $search_array | each element of this is a quadruple name of a field, what comparison to perform, a value to check, and an order (ascending/descending) to sort by |
| array | $any_fields | these fields if present in search array but with value "-1" will be skipped as part of the where clause but will be used for order by clause |
string for where clause, string for order by clause
getRows(integer $limit, integer $num, \seekquarry\yioop\models\int& $total, array $search_array = array(), array $args = null) : array
Gets a range of rows which match the provided search criteria from $th provided table
| integer | $limit | starting row from the potential results to return |
| integer | $num | number of rows after start row to return |
| \seekquarry\yioop\models\int& | $total | gets set with the total number of rows that can be returned by the given database query |
| array | $search_array | each element of this is a quadruple name of a field, what comparison to perform, a value to check, and an order (ascending/descending) to sort by |
| array | $args | additional values which may be used to get rows (what these are will typically depend on the subclass implementation) |
selectCallback(mixed $args = null) : string
Controls which columns and the names of those columns from the tables underlying the given model should be return from a getRows call.
This defaults to *, but in general will be overriden in subclasses of Model
| mixed | $args | any additional arguments which should be used to determine the columns |
a comma separated list of columns suitable for a SQL query
fromCallback(mixed $args = null) : string
Controls which tables and the names of tables underlie the given model and should be used in a getRows call This defaults to the single table whose name is whatever is before Model in the name of the model. For example, by default on FooModel this method would return "FOO". If a different behavior, this can be overriden in subclasses of Model
| mixed | $args | any additional arguments which should be used to determine these tables |
a comma separated list of tables suitable for a SQL query
whereCallback(array $args = null) : string
Used to restrict getRows in which rows it returns. Rows in this case corresponding to chat bot patterns for a particular chat bot user.
This defaults to an empty WHERE clause.
| array | $args | first element is the $user_id of the chat bot user |
a SQL WHERE clause suitable to perform the above restrictions
rowCallback(array $row, mixed $args) : array
Called after as row is retrieved by getRows from the database to perform some manipulation that would be useful for this model.
For example, in CrawlModel, after a row representing a crawl mix has been gotten, this is used to perform an additional query to marshal its components. By default this method just returns this row unchanged.
| array | $row | row as retrieved from database query |
| mixed | $args | additional arguments that might be used by this callback |
$row after callback manipulation
postQueryCallback(array $rows) : array
Called after getRows has retrieved all the rows that it would retrieve but before they are returned to give one last place where they could be further manipulated. For example, in MachineModel this callback is used to make parallel network calls to get the status of each machine returned by getRows. The default for this method is to leave the rows that would be returned unchanged
| array | $rows | that have been calculated so far by getRows |
$rows after this final manipulation
addPattern(integer $user_id, string $request, string $trigger_state, string $remote_call, string $result_state, string $response)
Add a new pattern to the chat bot $user_id
| integer | $user_id | of the chat bot user adding pattern for |
| string | $request | the from a different user to try to match against |
| string | $trigger_state | only match if the internal state of the bot for the rquesting user is this value |
| string | $remote_call | rest method on the chat bot external site to call (if any) when $request and $trigger_state conditions met |
| string | $result_state | internal state to switch to for that user |
| string | $response | to echo back to request user in a follow up post |
