    module Agents class EventFormattingAgent < Agent cannot_be_scheduled! description <<-MD An Event Formatting Agent allows you to format incoming Events, adding new fields as needed. For example, here is a possible Event: { "high": { "celsius": "18", "fahreinheit": "64" }, "date": { "epoch": "1357959600", "pretty": "10:00 PM EST on January 11, 2013" }, "conditions": "Rain showers", "data": "This is some data" } You may want to send this event to another Agent, for example a Twilio Agent, which expects a `message` key. You can use an Event Formatting Agent's `instructions` setting to do this in the following way: "instructions": { "message": "Today's conditions look like {{conditions}} with a high temperature of {{high.celsius}} degrees Celsius.", "subject": "{{data}}", "created_at": "{{created_at}}" } Names here like `conditions`, `high` and `data` refer to the corresponding values in the Event hash. The special key `created_at` refers to the timestamp of the Event, which can be reformatted by the `date` filter, like `{{created_at | date:"at %I:%M %p" }}`. The upstream agent of each received event is accessible via the key `agent`, which has the following attributes: #{''.tap { |s| s << AgentDrop.instance_methods(false).map { |m| "`#{m}`" }.join(', ') }}. Have a look at the [Wiki](https://github.com/cantino/huginn/wiki/Formatting-Events-using-Liquid) to learn more about liquid templating. Events generated by this possible Event Formatting Agent will look like: { "message": "Today's conditions look like Rain showers with a high temperature of 18 degrees Celsius.", "subject": "This is some data" } In `matchers` setting you can perform regular expression matching against contents of events and expand the match data for use in `instructions` setting. Here is an example: { "matchers": [ { "path": "{{date.pretty}}", "regexp": "\\A(?<time>\\d\\d:\\d\\d [AP]M [A-Z]+)", "to": "pretty_date", } ] } This virtually merges the following hash into the original event hash: "pretty_date": { "time": "10:00 PM EST", "0": "10:00 PM EST on January 11, 2013" "1": "10:00 PM EST", } So you can use it in `instructions` like this: "instructions": { "message": "Today's conditions look like {{conditions}} with a high temperature of {{high.celsius}} degrees Celsius according to the forecast at {{pretty_date.time}}.", "subject": "{{data}}" } If you want to retain original contents of events and only add new keys, then set `mode` to `merge`, otherwise set it to `clean`. To CGI escape output (for example when creating a link), use the Liquid `uri_escape` filter, like so: { "message": "A peak was on Twitter in {{group_by}}. Search: https://twitter.com/search?q={{group_by | uri_escape}}" } MD event_description "User defined" after_save :clear_matchers def validate_options errors.add(:base, "instructions and mode need to be present.") unless options['instructions'].present? && options['mode'].present? validate_matchers end def default_options { 'instructions' => { 'message' => "You received a text {{text}} from {{fields.from}}", 'agent' => "{{agent.type}}", 'some_other_field' => "Looks like the weather is going to be {{fields.weather}}", 'created_at' => "{{created_at}}" }, 'matchers' => [], 'mode' => "clean", } end def working? !recent_error_logs? end def receive(incoming_events) incoming_events.each do |event| payload = perform_matching(event.payload) opts = interpolated(event.to_liquid(payload)) formatted_event = opts['mode'].to_s == "merge" ? event.payload.dup : {} formatted_event.merge! opts['instructions'] create_event :payload => formatted_event end end private def validate_matchers matchers = options['matchers'] or return unless matchers.is_a?(Array) errors.add(:base, "matchers must be an array if present") return end matchers.each do |matcher| unless matcher.is_a?(Hash) errors.add(:base, "each matcher must be a hash") next end regexp, path, to = matcher.values_at(*%w[regexp path to]) if regexp.present? begin Regexp.new(regexp) rescue errors.add(:base, "bad regexp found in matchers: #{regexp}") end else errors.add(:base, "regexp is mandatory for a matcher and must be a string") end errors.add(:base, "path is mandatory for a matcher and must be a string") if !path.present? errors.add(:base, "to must be a string if present in a matcher") if to.present? && !to.is_a?(String) end end def perform_matching(payload) matchers.inject(payload.dup) { |hash, matcher| matcher[hash] } end def matchers @matchers ||= if matchers = options['matchers'] matchers.map { |matcher| regexp, path, to = matcher.values_at(*%w[regexp path to]) re = Regexp.new(regexp) proc { |hash| mhash = {} value = interpolate_string(path, hash) if value.is_a?(String) && (m = re.match(value)) m.to_a.each_with_index { |s, i| mhash[i.to_s] = s } m.names.each do |name| mhash[name] = m[name] end if m.respond_to?(:names) end if to case value = hash[to] when Hash value.update(mhash) else hash[to] = mhash end else hash.update(mhash) end hash } } else [] end end def clear_matchers @matchers = nil end end end
