smarterai 0.2.2

smarter.ai Python API

Smarter API for Python

This API allows communication between any python based Component on the smarter.ai platform.

User Installation

The latest released version are available at the Python Package Index (PyPI).

To install using pip:

pip install smarterai

Usage

• For starters an account needs to be created at our platform. So visit our website and create an account at smarter.ai.

• Then in order for the python code to be accessible for the smarter.ai platform, follow these steps:

  1. Visit the Studio
  2. Start a new new Experiment
  3. Chose a Full Pipeline Template.
  4. Follow the wizard.
  5. Go to Build -> Overview.
  6. From Container: Environment Drag & drop a python component.
  7. From Blank: Starter Templates Drag & drop Python Code Template on top of the added Environment component.
  8. Double click on the Python Code Template newly added Component.
  9. Go to Python tab -> main.py and edit/upload your code there.

• You can then start building your code by copy-pasting the code found in the examples below.

• The Python Component's interface needs to consist of the following:

  1. Import smarterai:

         from smarterai import *
     

  2. A class called SmarterComponent.
  3. SmarterComponent should inherit from SmarterPlugin:

         class SmarterComponent(SmarterPlugin):
     

  4. The class should have a method invoke with the following signature:

         def invoke(self, port: str, message: SmarterMessage, sender: SmarterSender) -> Optional[SmarterMessage]:
     

Example 1

This is the basic interface for a python based component.

from smarterai import *


class SmarterComponent(SmarterPlugin):
    def invoke(self, port: str, message: SmarterMessage, sender: SmarterSender) -> Optional[SmarterMessage]:
        print("Received the message '{0}' on port '{1}'".format(message, port))
        return

Example 2

If your component needs initializing/booting before it starts running. Then a method boot needs to be defined.

from smarterai import *


class SmarterComponent(SmarterPlugin):
    def __init__(self):
        self.port_fn_mapper = {'boot': self.boot}

    def boot(self, message: SmarterMessage, sender: SmarterSender) -> Optional[SmarterMessage]:
        # Write code here
        return

    def invoke(self, port: str, message: SmarterMessage, sender: SmarterSender) -> Optional[SmarterMessage]:
        print("Received the message '{0}' on port '{1}'".format(message, port))
        self.port_fn_mapper[port](message, sender)
        return

Example 3

If your component needs to send messages to other components, then you can use sender.

from smarterai import *


class SmarterComponent(SmarterPlugin):
    def __init__(self):
        self.port_fn_mapper = {'boot': self.boot, 'start': self.start}

    def boot(self, message: SmarterMessage, sender: SmarterSender) -> Optional[SmarterMessage]:
        # Write code here
        return

    def start(self, message: SmarterMessage, sender: SmarterSender):
        port = 'out'
        new_message = SmarterMessage({'name': 'Smarter AI'})
        sender.send_message(message=new_message, port=port)

    def invoke(self, port: str, message: SmarterMessage, sender: SmarterSender) -> Optional[SmarterMessage]:
        print("Received the message '{0}' on port '{1}'".format(message, port))
        self.port_fn_mapper[port](message, sender)
        return

Example 4

If your component needs to set data to front-end patterns.

from smarterai import *


class SmarterComponent(SmarterPlugin):
    def __init__(self):
        self.port_fn_mapper = {'boot': self.boot, 'start': self.start}

    def boot(self, message: SmarterMessage, sender: SmarterSender) -> Optional[SmarterMessage]:
        # Write code here
        return

    def start(self, message: SmarterMessage, sender: SmarterSender):
        pattern = 'text_field'
        data = 'some value'
        sender.set_data(pattern=pattern, data=data)

    def invoke(self, port: str, message: SmarterMessage, sender: SmarterSender) -> Optional[SmarterMessage]:
        print("Received the message '{0}' on port '{1}'".format(message, port))
        self.port_fn_mapper[port](message, sender)
        return
