The Kor Project Goals

The kor project is desinged to store easlily data in file (.kor file) such as numbers, list, and many more ! You can define your own encoding method to encode your own object or varaible type.

Why use kor files ?

• Kor files allows you to easily store data
• Can easily be customized to suit your needs
• Is very simple to use

Example

1. First of all you'll need to import kor

import kor

2. The you'll need to create your file object before working with it

my_file = kor.Kor(file_path="test_file.kor")

3. Now you can use one one the module's method to do something with it, for instance we can add an author and a description

my_file.add_author(author="Koraku")  
my_file.add_desc(desc="This is a example file")

The content of the file :

*Author : Koraku  
*Desc : This is a example file

4. Add more content !

my_file.encode(line_type='var', line=3, name="My_var", value="Hello, I'm a var content !", value_type="str")

Kor project documentation

List of all the method you'll need

File options

• add_author(author) is used to add an author to your file
• add_desc(desc) is used to add a description to your file
• get_author() returns the author of the file
• get_desc() returns the description of the file

Encoding and decoding

• encode(line_type, line, name, value, value_type, custom_encoding=None, custom_line_type=None, custom_value_type=None) see the "Encode parameters description" section for further information

• decode(custom_line_type=None, custom_decoding=None) see the "Decode parameters description" for further information

Others

• reset() erase all the data in your file, irreversible
• search(line_type, name) search in the file if a line has a certain name and returns [True, line_name, line_number] if found and [False, None, None] if not found

Encode parameters description

Line types

There are three line type by default :

1. var is used to store str (string) or numbers
2. list is used to store list or tuple
3. custom is used to use your custom encoding method, see bellow for further information

Line

The first two lines of the files are dedicated to the file author and description, keep in mind that the first line starts at 0 not 1

Value

The value is what your line will contain, the type of the content must be specified with value_type

Value type

There are 2 value type by default :

1. str for string
2. numfor numbers (int, float...)

Custom_encoding/custom_line_type/custom_value_type

Used for custom encoding, see "How to : Custom encoding" section for further information

Decode parameters description

The only parameters that decode() takes are custom_line_type, custom_decoding & custom_separator which are both used for custom decoding, see "How to : custom decoding" section for further information.

Custom parameters

The Kor Project allows you to create your own encoding methods, in those two examples you will learn how to do so Also, see "example.py" in the github page

How to : custom encoding

1. Firstly, import kor and create your file object

import kor

my_file = kor.Kor(file_path="test_file.kor")

2. Secondly, create your object

class My_Object:  
    def __init__(self, name, language):  
        self.name=name
        self.language=language

my_test_object = My_Object(name="Obj", language="Python")

3. Then you'll need to create one fuction for encoding, for instance :

def custom_encoding(line_type, name, value, value_type): 
	return f"{line_type} : {name} -> {value_type} -> {value.name},{value.language}\n"

Value is your instance of My_Object, name is the name of your line, line_type will be your custom line type and value type your custom value_type

4. I highly recommend you to define thos variables to prevent spelling mistakes

custom_line_type = "Custom_Line"
custom_value_type = "Custom_Value"

5. Now you can encode your object ! Use the encode() method as showed

my_file.encode(line_type="custom",  
	line=3, 
	name="My_Object_Name",  
	value=my_test_object, 
	value_type=None,  
	custom_encoding=custom_encoding,  
	custom_line_type=custom_line_type,  
	custom_value_type=custom_value_type)

You must set line_type to custom to use your custom encoding value is your instance of you object (step 2) custom_encoding should be set to your custom encoding fuction (step 3) custom_line_type & custom_value_type are used for you custom line and value type (step 4)

The result of the above code :

*Author : Koraku  
*Desc : This is a example file  

Custom_Line : My_Object_Name -> Custom_Value -> Obj,Python

How to : custom decoding

Repeat steps 1 & 2

3. Create your custom decoding fuction

def custom_decoding(value_args):
	return My_Object(name=value_args[0], language=value_args[1])

value_args will be passed in your function, it represent a list with the value of you objetc parameters (in this exemple), here it is ['Obj', 'Python']

4. Now decode your file with the decode() method

my_file.decode(custom_line_type=custom_line_type,
	custom_decoding=custom_decoding, 
	custom_separator=",")

5. if you print the output of this method it will give

[('My_Object_Name', <__main__.My_Object object at 0x00000270B6579E48>)`]

We can print the name and the value of our object :

my_new_obj = my_file.decode(custom_line_type=custom_line_type,
	custom_decoding=custom_decoding, 
	custom_separator=",")[0][1]

print(my_new_obj.name, my_new_obj.language)

output :

Obj Python

Now you know how to encode and decode your own object ! 🙌🎉
