tamaki.mes.backup.compare.resultsToDataSets

Description

Takes the three return values of compareEntityLists and builds Ignition datasets for display. The result is a dictionary containing a "Summary" dataset (from createSummaryDataSet) plus one detail dataset per entity type that has at least one change.

Each detail dataset has the columns: Entity, the entity type's key fields (converted to Title Case via tamaki.mes.utils.camelToTitle), Field, Old Value, New Value, and Change Type.

Syntax

tamaki.mes.backup.compare.resultsToDataSets(removedEntityTypes, addedEntityTypes, updatedEntityTypes)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Nullable	Description
removedEntityTypes	List	False	The removed-entity-types list returned by compareEntityLists.
addedEntityTypes	List	False	The added-entity-types list returned by compareEntityLists.
updatedEntityTypes	Dict	False	The updated-entity-types dictionary returned by compareEntityLists.

Returns

A Dict mapping names to Datasets: a "Summary" dataset plus one dataset per changed entity type.

Code Examples

# Run the comparison and store the result datasets for display
removed, added, updated = tamaki.mes.backup.compare.compareEntityLists(oldJsonData, newJsonData)
self.view.custom.resultDatasets = tamaki.mes.backup.compare.resultsToDataSets(removed, added, updated)
# resultDatasets["Summary"] holds the per-entity-type counts; the other keys are per-type detail datasets
