Availability decorator
Todo
Not implemented yet
Purpose
When sharing code, a large amount of code is usually dedicated to processing the arguments of the functions or methods where users are requesting data. This boilerplate code needs to check their values and ensure that data is actually available. In case of failure, it would be helpful to generate an appropriate error message to the user, in order to help them understand why the call to the function was not successful.
CliMetLab offers predefined shortcuts to implement this. The short
API aims to address the most common use cases using the @availability
decorator.
Example:
@availability("availability.json")
def func(date, option):
do_stuff(date, option)
