User class that defines a user based on clickstream data.

Project description

vaknl-user

Defines the vaknl User dataclass. A user (here identified by a dmp_user_id) is an object that is defined by website clickstream data as a basis. The User class contains functions that can transform raw Firestore website clickstream data to well defined Event dataclasses and update the statistics of the User accordingly. These Event dataclasses are read and translated into user information. The User dataclass also includes methods to read from and write to Firestore.

User dataclass

Can be found under vaknl_user.user.user.User and has the following useful methods:

update(self, client: utils.firestore.Client, nbc_api: NBC = None)

Gets all raw clickstream events that has occurred after the latest event tracked in the statistics and updates the user with it.

@classmethod from_firestore_clickstream(cls, client: utils.firestore.Client, dmp_user_id: str, nbc_api: NBC = None)

Creates user with all raw clickstream events available.

@classmethod from_firestore_user(cls, client: utils.firestore.Client, dmp_user_id: str)

Create User dataclass from a Firestore user.

to_firestore(self, client: utils.firestore.Client)

Exports user to Firestore user collection, overwriting it.

update_firestore_user(client: utils.firestore.Client, dmp_user_id: str, nbc_api: NBC = None)

The update_firestore_user() function is used to update the document in the dmp_user Firestore collection for a user with given dmp_user_id.

Event dataclass

This dataclass has many children (can be found in the same package directory under filer.py, other.py, pageview.py or reservation.py, which represent the individual clickstream events of interest. The Event dataclass can be found under vaknl_user.event.event.Event and should, in practice, only be called through the methods of the User dataclass.

Events dataclass

This dataclass contains a list of Event instances, but has some useful methods that make it more desirable than a plain list. The Events dataclass can be found under vaknl_user.event.event.Events and should, in practice, only be called through the methods of the User dataclass.

create_event(data: dict)

The create_event() function is used to transform single raw clickstream event dictionaries to a instance of Event (and one of it child dataclasses). The create_event() function can be found under vaknl_user.event.event.Event and should, in practice, only be called through the methods of the User dataclass.
