Plugin Factory

[narekhovhannisyan]

What

As a developer, I want simple user experience while developing plugins. For that I need to less care about utility functions like mapConfigIfNeeded, mapOutputIfNeeded and so on.
As a proposal for solution is to incapsulate mapConfigIfNeeded function in validateConfig (which is abstraction over out old validate function from if-core). mapInputIfNeeded can be incapsulated into validate function.

Why

Context

Prerequisites/resources

SoW (scope of work)

• documentation updated
• test cases added

Acceptance criteria

Given (Setup): Describes the initial state of the system or the preconditions for a change.

When (Action): Describes the specific action or behavior that is being tested/changed.

Then (Assertion): Defines the expected outcome or behavior of the system after the action in the "When" step is performed.

please post your thoughts on the solution to improve plugin developer experience as discussed in the planning call

const utils = require('@grnsft/if-core/utils/validations');
const {validate} = utils;

// This one should be in if-core, which will make if-core more reasonable
const PluginInterface = params => input => {
  const {metadata, callback, validateInput, validateConfig, evaluateInput} =
    params;

  return {
    metadata,
    execute: () => {
      const safeInput = validateInput(input);

      const result = callback(safeInput);

      return result;
    },
  };
};

const metadata = {
  inputs: {},
  outputs: {},
};

const callback = inputs => {
  const result = inputs.map(input => (input['carbon-embodied'] = 1));

  return result;
};

module.exports = PluginInterface({metadata, callback});

will integrate the inline arithmetic into this as well after merging #970
