Snakemake interface for report plugins

This package defines the interface between Snakemake and its report plugins.

Plugins should implement the following skeleton to comply with this interface. It is recommended to use Snakemake's poetry plugin to set up this skeleton (and automated testing) within a python package, see https://github.com/snakemake/poetry-snakemake-plugin.

from dataclasses import dataclass, field

from snakemake_interface_common.exceptions import WorkflowError
from snakemake_interface_report_plugins.reporter import ReporterBase
from snakemake_interface_report_plugins.settings import ReportSettingsBase


# Optional:
# Define additional settings for your reporter.
# They will occur in the Snakemake CLI as --report-<reporter-name>-<param-name>
# Omit this class if you don't need any.
# Make sure that all defined fields are Optional (or bool) and specify a default value
# of None (or False) or anything else that makes sense in your case.
@dataclass
class ReportSettings(ReportSettingsBase):
    myparam: Optional[int] = field(
        default=None,
        metadata={
            "help": "Some help text",
            # Optionally request that setting is also available for specification
            # via an environment variable. The variable will be named automatically as
            # SNAKEMAKE_REPORT_<reporter-name>_<param-name>, all upper case.
            # This mechanism should ONLY be used for passwords and usernames.
            # For other items, we rather recommend to let people use a profile
            # for setting defaults
            # (https://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/stable/executing/cli.html#profiles).
            "env_var": False,
            # Optionally specify a function that parses the value given by the user.
            # This is useful to create complex types from the user input.
            "parse_func": ...,
            # If a parse_func is specified, you also have to specify an unparse_func
            # that converts the parsed value back to a string.
            "unparse_func": ...,
            # Optionally specify that setting is required when the reporter is in use.

        # See https://github.com/snakemake/snakemake-interface-report-plugins/snakemake_interface_report_plugins/reporter.py
        # for attributes of the base class.
        # In particular, the settings of above ReportSettings class are accessible via
        # self.settings.
