from simple_state_tracker import SimpleStateTracker, KeyModel, DataModel

class ScrapeKey(KeyModel):
    county: str
    municipality: str
    year: int

class ScrapeState(DataModel):
    scraped: bool = False
    scrape_error: str | None = None
    processed: bool = False
    process_error: str | None = None

tracker = SimpleStateTracker(ScrapeKey, ScrapeState, path="tracker.json")

key = ScrapeKey(county="DAUPHIN", municipality="HARRISBURG", year=2022)

with tracker.edit(key) as state:
    state.scraped = True
    state.scrape_error = None

tracker.save()
