Return type:: id_gen

class idmtools.core.interfaces.iitem.IItem(_uid: str = None, _IItem__pre_creation_hooks: ~typing.List[~typing.Callable[[IItem, IPlatform], None]] = <factory>, _IItem__post_creation_hooks: ~typing.List[~typing.Callable[[IItem, IPlatform], None]] = <factory>)[source]¶

Bases: object

IItem represents items that have identifiable ids.

In addition, IItem facilities pre and post creation hooks through the __pre_creation_hooks, __post_creation_hooks, add_pre_creation_hook, add_post_creation_hook

Returns:: None

post_creation(platform: IPlatform) → None[source]¶

Called after the actual creation of the entity.

Parameters:: platform – Platform item was created on
Returns:: None

add_pre_creation_hook(hook: Callable[[IItem, IPlatform], None])[source]¶

Adds a hook function to be called before an item is created.

Parameters:: hook – Hook function. This should have two arguments, the item and the platform
Returns:: None

add_post_creation_hook(hook: Callable[[IItem, IPlatform], None])[source]¶

Adds a hook function to be called after an item is created.

Parameters:: hook – Hook function. This should have two arguments, the item and the platform

__init__(_uid: str = None, _IItem__pre_creation_hooks: ~typing.List[~typing.Callable[[IItem, IPlatform], None]] = <factory>, _IItem__post_creation_hooks: ~typing.List[~typing.Callable[[IItem, IPlatform], None]] = <factory>) → None¶
