getresults-identifier

Base classes for identifiers.

Numeric Identifiers

from getresults_identifier import NumericIdentifier

class MyIdentifier(NumericIdentifier):
	pass
	
>>> id = MyIdentifier(None)
>>> next(id)
'0000000001'
>>> next(id)
'0000000002'

# add a delimiter
class MyIdentifier(NumericIdentifier):
	identifier_pattern = r'^[0-9]{4}\-[0-9]{4}\-[0-9]{4}$'
	delimeter = '-'
	seed = ('3200-0000-0000')

>>> id = MyIdentifier(None)
>>> next(id)
'3200-0000-0001'
>>> next(id)
'3200-0000-0002'

# start from the last identifier
>>> id = MyIdentifier('3200-0000-3227')
>>> next(id)
'3200-0000-3228'

Alphanumeric Identifiers

from getresults_identifier import AlpanumericIdentifier

class MyIdentifier(AlpanumericIdentifier):
    alpha_pattern = r'^[A-Z]{3}$'
	numeric_pattern = r'^[0-9]{4}$'
	seed = ('AAA', '0000')

With the above your identifier will start with 'AAA0001'. For example:

>>> from getresults_receive.receive_identifier import ReceiveIdentifier
>>> new_id = MyIdentifier(None)
>>> print(new_id)
'AAA0001'

The identifier increments on the numeric sequence then the alpha:

>>> id = MyIdentifier('AAZ9998)
>>> next(id)
'AAA9999'	

>>> next(id)
'AAB9999'	

>>> id = MyIdentifier('AAZ9998)
>>> next(id)
'AAZ9999'	
>>> next(id)
'ABA0001'	

See getresults-receive for sample usage with settings and a History model.

Short Identifiers

Creates a small identifier that is almost unique, for example, across 25 Edc devices in a community. We use these as sample requisition identifiers that are transcribed manually onto a tube from the Edc screen in a household. Once the sample is received at the local lab it is allocated a laboratory-wide unique specimen identifier.

from .short_identifier import ShortIdentifier

>>> options = {'prefix': 22}
>>> id = ShortIdentifier(options=options)
>>> print(id)
'22ECY42'
>>> next(id)
'228AP77'

... add more to the prefix, such as device code and community code.

from getresults_identifier.short_identifier import ShortIdentifier


class RequisitionIdentifier(ShortIdentifier):
    
	identifier_type = 'requisition'
	prefix_pattern = r'^[0-9]{4}'
	template = '{device_id}{community_id}{random_string}'

	@property
	def options(self):
		if 'prefix' not in self._options:
			self._options.update(
				{'prefix': str(self._options.get('device_id')) + str(self._options.get('community_id'))})
		return self._options

>>> options = {'device_id': 22, 'community_id': '12'}
>>> id = RequisitionIdentifier(options=options)
>>> print(id)
'2212X9V92'
>>> next(id)
'2212PC7E7'

... if you prefer not to use the IdentifierHistory model, for example, if you are filling in a model field on save():

from my_app.models import Requisition

class RequisitionIdentifier(ShortIdentifier):

    identifier_type = 'requisition'
    requisition_model = Requisition

    def is_duplicate(self, identifier):
        try:
            self.requisition_model.get(requisition_identifier=identifier)
            return True
        except self.requisition_model.DoesNotExist:
            pass
        return False

	def update_history(self):
		pass
