Adding user methods to the generated PAGE API

Let's say you want to add a method get_FirstTextRegion on the pc:Page element:

1. Create a file ocrd_models/ocrd_page_user_methods/get_FirstTextRegion.py

def get_FirstTextRegion(self):
  return self.get_TextRegion[0]

2. Edit ocrd_models/ocrd_page_user_methods.py and append to the METHOD_SPECS list:

METHOD_SPECS = (
  # ...
  _add_method(r'^PageType$', 'get_FirstTextRegion')
  # ...
)

If the filename (sans the .py extension) does not match the method_name, you can provide an additional file_name attribute to _add_method:

METHOD_SPECS = (
  # ...
  _add_method(r'^PageType$', 'exportChildren', 'exportChildren_PageType')
  # ...
)

Would add the method exportChildren from a file exportChildren_PageType.py.

NOTE The method name in the file must match the method name passed to _add_method. This is not checked automatically, so double-check manually!

3. Regenerate the PAGE API:

make generate-page
