# TaskJuggler::Query

A query can be used to retrieve any property attribute after the scheduling run has been completed. It is possible to make a Query before the scheduling run has been completed, but it only produces good results for static attributes. And for such queries, the PropertyTreeNode.get and [] functions are a lot more efficient.

When constructing a Query, a set of variables need to be set that is sufficient enough to identify a unique attribute. Some attribute are computed dynamically and further variables such as a start and end time will be incorporated into the result computation.

The result is returned as String (Query#result), in numerical form (Query#numericalResult) if available as number, and as an entity that can be used for sorting (Query#sortableResult). To get the result, Query#process needs to be called. In case an error occured, Query#ok is set to false and Query#errorMessage contains an error message.

### Attributes

end[R]
endIdx[R]
errorMessage[RW]
numerical[W]
ok[RW]
rti[W]
sortable[W]
start[R]
startIdx[R]
string[W]

### Public Class Methods

new(parameters = { }) click to toggle source

Create a new Query object. The parameters need to be sufficent to uniquely identify an attribute.

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 50
    def initialize(parameters = { })
      @selfContained = false
      @@ps.each do |p|
        instance_variable_set('@' + p, parameters[p] ? parameters[p] : nil)
      end

      # instance_variable_set does not call writer functions. So we need to
      # handle @start, @end, @startIdx and @endIdx separately.
      %( end endIdx start startIdx ).each do |p|
        send(p + '=', parameters[p]) if parameters[p]
      end
      # The custom data hash can be filled with results to be returned for
      # special attributes that are not directly property attributes or
      # computed attributes.
      @customData = {}

      reset
    end

### Public Instance Methods

assignList(listItems) click to toggle source

Converts the String items in listItems into a RichTextIntermediate objects and assigns it as result of the query.

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 212
    def assignList(listItems)
      list = ''
      listItems.each do |item|
        case @listType
        when nil, :comma
          list += ', ' unless list.empty?
          list += item
        when :bullets
          list += "* #{item}\n"
        when :numbered
          list += "# #{item}\n"
        end
      end
      @sortable = @string = list
      rText = RichText.new(list)
      @rti = rText.generateIntermediateFormat
    end

endIdx=(idx) click to toggle source

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 99
    def endIdx=(idx)
      if idx.is_a?(Fixnum)
        @endIdx = idx
        @end = @project.idxToDate(idx)
      else
        raise "Unsupported type #{idx.class}"
      end
    end

process() click to toggle source

This method tries to resolve the query and return a result. In case it finds an attribute that matches the query, it returns true; false otherwise. The actual result data is stored in the Query object. It can then be retrieved by the caller with the methods to_s(), to_num(), to_sort() and result().

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 120
    def process
      reset
      begin
        # Resolve property reference from property ID.
        if @property.nil? && !@propertyId.nil?

            return @ok = false
          end
        end

Return the result in the orginal form. It may be nil.

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 255
    def result
      if @attr
        if @attr.value && @attr.is_a?(ReferenceAttribute)

        @rti
      else
        @string
      end
    end

scaleDuration(value) click to toggle source

Convert a duration to the format specified by @loadUnit. value is the duration effort in days. The return value is the converted value with optional unit as a String.

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 274
    def scaleDuration(value)
      scaleValue(value, [ 24 * 60, 24, 1, 1.0 / 7, 1.0 / 30.42,
                          1.0 / 91.25, 1.0 / 365 ])
    end

scaleLoad(value) click to toggle source

Convert a load or effort value to the format specified by @loadUnit. work is the effort in man days. The return value is the converted value with optional unit as a String.

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 282
    def scaleLoad(value)
      scaleValue(value, [ @project.dailyWorkingHours * 60,
                          @project.dailyWorkingHours,

                          1.0 / @project.yearlyWorkingDays ])
    end

setCustomData(name, data) click to toggle source

Set a custom data entry. name is the name of the pseudo attribute. data must be a Hash that contains the value for :numberical, :string, :sortable or :rti results.

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 111
    def setCustomData(name, data)
      @customData[name] = data
    end

start=(date) click to toggle source

We probably need the start and end dates as TjTime and Scoreboard index. We store both, but we need to assure they are always in sync.

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 72
    def start=(date)
      if date.is_a?(TjTime)
        @start = date
      else
        raise "Unsupported type #{date.class}"
      end
      @startIdx = @project.dateToIdx(@start)
    end

startIdx=(idx) click to toggle source

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 81
    def startIdx=(idx)
      if idx.is_a?(Fixnum)
        @startIdx = idx
        @start = @project.idxToDate(idx)
      else
        raise "Unsupported type #{idx.class}"
      end
    end

to_num() click to toggle source

Return the result of the Query as Fixnum or Float. The result may be nil.

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 237
    def to_num
      @attr ? @attr.to_num : @numerical
    end

to_rti() click to toggle source

Return the result as RichTextIntermediate object. The result may be nil.

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 248
    def to_rti
      return @attr.value if @attr.is_a?(RichTextAttribute)

      @attr ? @attr.to_rti(self) : @rti
    end

to_s() click to toggle source

Return the result of the Query as String. The result may be nil.

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 231
    def to_s
      @attr ? @attr.to_s(self) : (@rti ? @rti.to_s : (@string || ''))
    end

to_sort() click to toggle source

Return the result in the best suited type and format for sorting. The result may be nil.

    # File lib/taskjuggler/Query.rb, line 243
    def to_sort
      @attr ? @attr.to_sort : @sortable
    end
