        """Patient Borg to hold the currently active patient.

        There may be many instances of this but they all share state.

        The underlying dem.identity row must have .deleted set to FALSE.

        The sequence of events when changing the active patient:

                1) Registered callbacks are run.
                        Those are run synchronously. If a callback
                        returns False or throws an exception the
                        patient switch is aborted. Callback code
                        can rely on the patient still being active
                        and to not go away until it returns. It
                        is not passed any arguments and must return
                        False or True.

                2) Signal "pre_patient_unselection" is sent.
                        This does not wait for nor check results.
                        The keyword pk_identity contains the
                        PK of the person being switched away
                        from.

                3) the current patient is unset (gmNull.cNull)

                4) Signal "current_patient_unset" is sent
                        At this point resetting GUI fields to
                        empty should be done. The active patient
                        is not there anymore.

                        This does not wait for nor check results.

                5) The current patient is set to the new value.
                        The new patient can also remain gmNull.cNull
                        in case the calling code explicitly unset
                        the current patient.

                6) Signal "post_patient_selection" is sent.
                        Code listening to this signal can
                        assume that the new patient is
                        already active.

class cMatchProvider_Provider

Match provider which searches matches in possibly several database tables.

queries: - a list of unicode strings - each string is a query - each string must contain: "… WHERE %(fragment_condition)s …" - each string can contain in the where clause: "… %()s …" - each query must return (data, list_label, field_label)

context definitions to be used in the queries, example: {'ctxt_key1': {'where_part': 'AND country = %(country)s', 'placeholder': 'country'}}

client code using .set_context() must use the 'placeholder': /.set_context('country', 'Germany')

class cPatient (aPK_obj=None, row=None)

Represents a person which is a patient.

  • a specializing subclass of cPerson turning it into a patient
  • its use is to cache subobjects like EMR and document folder

Call init from child classes like so:

    super().__init__(aPK_obj = aPK_obj, row = row, link_obj = link_obj)

Args

aPK_obj
retrieve data from backend
  • an scalar value the ._cmd_fetch_payload WHERE condition must be a simple column: "… WHERE pk_col = %s"
  • a dictionary of values the ._cmd_fetch_payload WHERE condition must consume the dictionary and produce a unique row
row
must hold the fields

Inherited members

class cPerson (aPK_obj: int | dict = None, row: dict = None, link_obj=None)

Represents business objects in the database.

Rules

  • instances ARE ASSUMED TO EXIST in the database
  • PK construction (aPK_obj): DOES verify its existence on instantiation (fetching data fails)
  • Row construction (row): allowed by using a dict of pairs of field name: field value (PERFORMANCE improvement)
  • does NOT verify FK target existence
  • does NOT create new entries in the database
  • does NOT lazy-fetch fields on access

Class scope SQL commands and variables:

_cmd_fetch_payload:

  • must return exactly one row
  • WHERE clause argument values are expected in self.pk_obj (taken from init(aPK_obj))
  • must return xmin of all rows that _cmds_store_payload will be updating, so views must support the xmin columns of their underlying tables

_cmds_store_payload:

  • one or multiple "update … set … where xmin_ = … and pk = …" statements which actually update the database from the data in self._payload,
  • the last query must refetch at least the XMIN values needed to detect concurrent updates, their field names had better be the same as in _cmd_fetch_payload,
  • the last query CAN return other fields which is particularly useful when those other fields are computed in the backend and may thus change upon save but will not have been set by the client code explicitly - this is only really of concern if the saved subclass is to be reused after saving rather than re-instantiated
  • when subclasses tend to live a while after save_payload() was called and they support computed fields (say, _(some_column) you need to return all columns (see cEncounter)

_updatable_fields:

  • a list of fields available for update via object['field']

Call init from child classes like so:

    super().__init__(aPK_obj = aPK_obj, row = row, link_obj = link_obj)

Args

aPK_obj
retrieve data from backend
  • an scalar value the ._cmd_fetch_payload WHERE condition must be a simple column: "… WHERE pk_col = %s"
  • a dictionary of values the ._cmd_fetch_payload WHERE condition must consume the dictionary and produce a unique row
row
must hold the fields
  • data: list of column values for the row selected by ._cmd_fetch_payload (as returned by cursor.fetchone() in the DB-API)
  • pk_field: the name of the primary key column OR
  • pk_obj: a dictionary suitable for being passed to cursor.execute and holding the primary key values, used for composite PKs
  • for example:
    row = {
            'data': rows[0],
            'pk_field': 'pk_XXX (the PK column name)',
            'pk_obj': {'pk_col1': pk_col1_val, 'pk_col2': pk_col2_val}
    }
    
    rows = gmPG2.run_ro_queries(queries = [{'cmd': cmd, 'args': args}])
    objects = [ cChildClass(row = {'data': r, 'pk_field': 'the PK column name'}) for r in rows ]

class cPersonName (aPK_obj: int | dict = None, row: dict = None, link_obj=None)

Represents business objects in the database.

Rules

  • instances ARE ASSUMED TO EXIST in the database
  • PK construction (aPK_obj): DOES verify its existence on instantiation (fetching data fails)
  • Row construction (row): allowed by using a dict of pairs of field name: field value (PERFORMANCE improvement)
  • does NOT verify FK target existence
  • does NOT create new entries in the database
  • does NOT lazy-fetch fields on access

Class scope SQL commands and variables:

_cmd_fetch_payload:

  • must return exactly one row
  • WHERE clause argument values are expected in self.pk_obj (taken from init(aPK_obj))
  • must return xmin of all rows that _cmds_store_payload will be updating, so views must support the xmin columns of their underlying tables

_cmds_store_payload:

  • one or multiple "update … set … where xmin_ = … and pk = …" statements which actually update the database from the data in self._payload,
  • the last query must refetch at least the XMIN values needed to detect concurrent updates, their field names had better be the same as in _cmd_fetch_payload,
  • the last query CAN return other fields which is particularly useful when those other fields are computed in the backend and may thus change upon save but will not have been set by the client code explicitly - this is only really of concern if the saved subclass is to be reused after saving rather than re-instantiated
  • when subclasses tend to live a while after save_payload() was called and they support computed fields (say, _(some_column) you need to return all columns (see cEncounter)

_updatable_fields:

  • a list of fields available for update via object['field']

Call init from child classes like so:

    super().__init__(aPK_obj = aPK_obj, row = row, link_obj = link_obj)

Args

aPK_obj
retrieve data from backend
  • an scalar value the ._cmd_fetch_payload WHERE condition must be a simple column: "… WHERE pk_col = %s"
  • a dictionary of values the ._cmd_fetch_payload WHERE condition must consume the dictionary and produce a unique row
row
must hold the fields
  • data: list of column values for the row selected by ._cmd_fetch_payload (as returned by cursor.fetchone() in the DB-API)
  • pk_field: the name of the primary key column OR
  • pk_obj: a dictionary suitable for being passed to cursor.execute and holding the primary key values, used for composite PKs
  • for example:
    row = {
            'data': rows[0],
            'pk_field': 'pk_XXX (the PK column name)',
            'pk_obj': {'pk_col1': pk_col1_val, 'pk_col2': pk_col2_val}

class gmCurrentPatient (patient=None, forced_reload=False)

Patient Borg to hold the currently active patient.

There may be many instances of this but they all share state.

The underlying dem.identity row must have .deleted set to FALSE.

The sequence of events when changing the active patient:

    1) Registered callbacks are run.
            Those are run synchronously. If a callback
            returns False or throws an exception the
            patient switch is aborted. Callback code
            can rely on the patient still being active
            and to not go away until it returns. It
            is not passed any arguments and must return
            False or True.

    2) Signal "pre_patient_unselection" is sent.
            This does not wait for nor check results.
            The keyword pk_identity contains the
            PK of the person being switched away
            from.

    3) the current patient is unset (gmNull.cNull)

    4) Signal "current_patient_unset" is sent
            At this point resetting GUI fields to
            empty should be done. The active patient
            is not there anymore.

            This does not wait for nor check results.

    5) The current patient is set to the new value.
            The new patient can also remain gmNull.cNull
            in case the calling code explicitly unset
            the current patient.

    6) Signal "post_patient_selection" is sent.
            Code listening to this signal can
            assume that the new patient is
            already active.
