Mixam Python SDK: ItemSpecification Core Models & Enums. KeyBuilder & KeyParser For Working With Universal Keys

Mixam Python SDK

Mixam SDK is a lightweight Python library that helps you build, validate, serialize, and parse print Item Specifications used by Mixam. It provides:

• Core data models and enums to represent product specifications (components, substrates, bindings, sizes, etc.).
• A Universal Key system to serialize an ItemSpecification to a compact string and parse it back reliably.

Installation

• Via pip:

pip install mixam-sdk

• Via Poetry:

poetry add mixam-sdk

Python 3.13+ is required (see pyproject.toml).

Quick Start

Below are minimal examples showing how to work with Item Specifications and the Universal Key.

Create an ItemSpecification and build a Universal Key

from mixam_sdk.item_specification.models.item_specification import ItemSpecification
from mixam_sdk.item_specification.enums.product import Product
from mixam_sdk.item_specification.models.flat_component import FlatComponent
from mixam_sdk.item_specification.enums.component_type import ComponentType
from mixam_sdk.universal_key.models.key_builder import KeyBuilder

# Build a simple spec with one flat component
item = ItemSpecification()
item.copies = 250

# Create a simple flat component
comp = FlatComponent()
comp.component_type = ComponentType.FLAT
# ... populate additional fields supported by FlatComponent as needed ...

item.components.append(comp)

# Build a Universal Key string
key = KeyBuilder().build(item)
print(key)

Parse a Universal Key back into an ItemSpecification

from mixam_sdk.universal_key.models.key_parser import KeyParser

parser = KeyParser()
# Provide a Universal Key string (from earlier build step or an external source)
some_key = "250~10-fl{...}"
parsed = parser.parse(some_key)

print(parsed.copies)
print(parsed.product)
print([c.component_type for c in parsed.components])

If the key does not match the expected format, KeyParser.parse raises a ValueError or RuntimeError indicating the issue.

What is a Universal Key?

A Universal Key is a compact, validated string representation of an ItemSpecification.

• Format (high level):
  • copies~productId-<component>{<memberTokens>}-<component>{...}
• Example: 250~10-fl{...}-bd{...}
• Keys are validated using a strict regex to ensure correctness before parsing.

The SDK provides:

• KeyBuilder to generate keys from ItemSpecification objects.
• KeyParser to parse keys back into ItemSpecification objects.

Main Concepts

• Enums: Found under mixam_sdk/item_specification/enums, they define allowed values for products, sizes, colours, laminations, bindings, etc.
• Models: Under mixam_sdk/item_specification/models, they represent components such as flat, folded, cover, bound components, and more, as well as the root ItemSpecification.
• Interfaces/Support: Internal helpers for ordering components and mapping model fields to the Universal Key token format.

Explore the tests/ folder for concrete usage patterns and expected behaviours:

• tests/test_universal_key.py
• tests/test_item_specification_deserialization.py

Error Handling

• KeyParser.parse(key) validates input and raises a ValueError for invalid format and a RuntimeError for parsing failures.
• When building keys, ensure your components are populated with required fields; otherwise the builder may not emit expected tokens.

Development

• Run tests:

pytest -q

• Local install for development:

poetry install
poetry run pytest -q

Versioning

The package follows semantic versioning where possible. See pyproject.toml for the current version.

Examples (from tests)

Below are full examples taken directly from the test suite to illustrate the exact formats.

• Universal Key example (Booklet):

10~1-bd{4bt-5c-4f-200p-1st-3sw}-cr{5c-5c+-4f-4l-1st-7sw}

• Matching ItemSpecification JSON example (as used in tests):

{
  "itemSpecification": {
    "copies": 10,
    "product": "BROCHURES",
    "components": [
      {
        "componentType": "BOUND",
        "format": 4,
        "standardSize": "NONE",
        "orientation": "PORTRAIT",
        "colours": "PROCESS",
        "substrate": {
          "typeId": 1,
          "weightId": 3,
          "colourId": 0
        },
        "pages": 200,
        "lamination": "NONE",
        "binding": {
          "type": "PUR"
        }
      },
      {
        "componentType": "COVER",
        "format": 4,
        "standardSize": "NONE",
        "orientation": "PORTRAIT",
        "colours": "PROCESS",
        "substrate": {
          "typeId": 1,
          "weightId": 7,
          "colourId": 0
        },
        "lamination": "GLOSS",
        "backColours": "PROCESS",
        "backLamination": "NONE"
      }
    ]
  }
