```

## Develop
```
git clone [e-mail]:wefindx/metadrive.git && cd metadrive
virtualenv -ppython3.7 .env && . .env/bin/activate
pip install -e .
```
### First run
```
$ provide

## Usage

Basic Installation:
```
pip install metadrive
```

(check installation requirements for specific systems at the bottom)

## Driver package structure:
```
.
├── driver_name
│ ├── __init__.py # _login(), and an items generator function _harvest()
│ └── api.py # classes, that define methods _get() and _filter() generators.
├── README.md
└── setup.py
```

### Defualt files structure

```
__init__.py file:
=====================
_login(): authentication function

_harvest(): default downloading function

api.py file:
============
Classes represent data types available in data source of driver package.
Methods represent way to query for objects in the data source.

@classmethod
_filter(): Returns a generator of the objects of the class.

@classmethod
_get(): Returns a method to retrieve a single object.

@classmethod
_update(): A method to update or delete the object in source by ID.
```

1. Publish drivers on `PyPI`.

2. Reference them on `-` wikis on GitHub (example: [https://github.com/mindey/-/wiki/topic#halfbakery](https://github.com/mindey/-/wiki/topic#halfbakery).

3. Use, like `harvest https://github.com/mindey/-/wiki/topic#halfbakery -o my_data`.

Alternatively, to database:
`harvest https://github.com/user/-/wiki/concept\#source --db mongodb://username:password@hostname:27017/db_name/collection`

More advanced usage will be covered in the future.

## About

The package that introduces simple generic interfaces to the objects within web APIs, allowing for generation (searching), and management of items on the web systems.

The drivers listed in [drivers.py](https://github.com/wefindx/metadrive/blob/master/metadrive/drivers.py) shall define controllers services and machines, to serialize data in [MFT-1](https://book.mindey.com/metaformat/0002-data-object-format/0002-data-object-format.html), making them convenient to automatically operate with [metaform](https://pypi.org/project/metaform/)). This list of drivers is to be provided in a distributed fashion, i.e., with GunDB.

When writing drivers, optionally define `login()` function, and some generator function `harvest(limit=limit)` function in `__init__.py`. The generator function needs to return elements, where `-` key is the URL of the items.

Installation may require `ncurses`.

`$ harvest <resource>`
The first command allows to crawl custom source.

`$ provide`
The second command serves the API to the APIs and data.

`$ console`
Starts console application with `get(), list(), update()` methods to manage index of all available controllers ( drivers ), and get data.

`$ consume`
Starts a GUI-based application to manage index of all available controllers ( drivers ), and interact with data objects visually.
