# Omnicon's DDS Document Generator - API Documentation

## Overview

Omnicon's DDS Document Generator (DocGen) facilitates the generation of two distinct types of documents from standard DDS type files:

* Interface documentation (ICD): A human-readable document that describes a given DDS data model.
* Comparison document: A document detailing the differences between two versions of DDS data models.

Users can leverage the DocGen through Python APIs or through dedicated GUI applications (refer to https://www.omniconsystems.com/).

## Software Requirements
* Microsoft Word: This API utilizes Microsoft Word functionalities. Please ensure you have Microsoft Word 
installed on your system. If not, you can purchase and download it from the Official Microsoft Office website.


## API Installation
```commandline
pip install Omnicon_DDSDocGen
```
* An Omnnicon license is required to utilize the API. Please Contact Info@OmniconSystems.com.


# API Usage Example
## ICD API Usage Example
The example below showcases how to generate both PDF , Docx & Html ICDs from a directory named "TypeFiles" populated with DDS .xml files and a topic mapping file "TopicNamesToTypesDefMap.xml". Both are located under the "DocGen" folder.

```python
import os
from pathlib import Path
from Omnicon_DDSDocGen import DDSDocGen

try:
    doc_gen = DDSDocGen()

    doc_gen.generate_document(
        dds_types_files=[os.path.join(Path(os.getcwd()), "DocGen", "TypeFiles")],
        dds_topics_types_mapping=os.path.join(Path(os.getcwd()), "DocGen", "TopicNamesToTypesDefMap.xml"),
        version="v1.0",
        title="Demo ICD",
        order_alphabetically=True,
        output_file_name="DemoICD",
        output_folder="",
        output_formats=['pdf', 'docx', 'html'])

except Exception as err:
    print(err)
    exit()
```
TypeFiles contains DDS XML files such as ShapeType.xml (based on http://www.omg.org/spec/DDS-XML):
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<types xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <enum name="ShapeFillKind">
    <enumerator name="SOLID_FILL"/>
    <enumerator name="TRANSPARENT_FILL"/>
    <enumerator name="HORIZONTAL_HATCH_FILL"/>
    <enumerator name="VERTICAL_HATCH_FILL"/>
  </enum>
  <struct name= "ShapeType">
    <member name="color" stringMaxLength="128" type="string" key="true"/>
    <member name="x" type="int32"/>
    <member name="y" type="int32"/>
    <member name="shapesize" type="int32"/>
  </struct>
  <struct name= "ShapeTypeExtended" baseType="ShapeType">
    <member name="fillKind" type="nonBasic"  nonBasicTypeName= "ShapeFillKind"/>
    <member name="angle" type="float32"/>
  </struct>
</types>
```

TopicNamesToTypesDefMap.xml (based on http://www.omg.org/spec/DDS-XML)
```xml
<dds xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <domain_library name="Domain_Lib">
    <domain name="Domain">
      <!--Types Definition-->
      <register_type name="ShapeTypeExtended" type_ref="ShapeTypeExtended" />

      <!--Topics Definition-->
      <topic name="Square" register_type_ref="ShapeTypeExtended"/>
    </domain>
  </domain_library>
</dds>
```
## Comparison API Usage Example
The example provided here demonstrates generating a comparison report in PDF ,Docx & Html formats from the DDS file "ShapeType.xml" and the topic mapping "TopicNamesToTypesDefMap.xml".

```python
import os
from pathlib import Path
from Omnicon_DDSDocGen import DDSDocGen

try:
    doc_gen = DDSDocGen()

    doc_gen.generate_comparison_document(
        origin_dds_types_files=[os.path.join(Path(os.getcwd()), "DocCompare", "v1", "TypeFiles")],
        new_dds_types_files=[os.path.join(Path(os.getcwd()), "DocCompare", "v2", "TypeFiles")],
        origin_dds_topics_types_mapping=os.path.join(Path(os.getcwd()), "DocCompare", "v1", "TopicNamesToTypesDefMap.xml"),
        new_dds_topics_types_mapping=os.path.join(Path(os.getcwd()), "DocCompare", "v2", "TopicNamesToTypesDefMap.xml"),
        output_file_name="ComparisonDemo",
        title="Comparison Demo",
        origin_version="v1",
        new_version="v2",
        order_alphabetically=True,
        output_folder="",
        output_formats=['pdf', 'docx', 'html'],
        ignore_id=False,
        comparison_method="name",
        document_type="summary")

except Exception as err:
    print(err)
    exit()
```

| Logging verbosity          | string   | Specifies the log verbosity level of choice (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR or FATAL)                     |    *     |                   "INFO"                   |
| license_file_path          | string   | Specifies the path (relative/absolute) where the license file is.                                      |    *     |        (Current working directory)         |
| progress_callback_function | function | A 'pointer' to the function that updates the progress bar.  [(see below)](#Progress Callback Function) |    *     | (A default function will print to console) |

#### Progress Callback Function
The progress bar callback function provides the user continues updates on the document generation progress.
DocGen has a default progress callback function; However, the user can provide a custom callback function of his own 
for the DocGen to call. 
The DocGen will invoke the provided function with the following information:
1. total_steps - total number of steps for the current generation process. 
2. current_step - current step the generation process is currently at.
3. info - additional optional textual information regarding the current step (e.g. "saving docx")

```python
ProgressBarCallbackExample(total_steps: int, current_step: int, info: str)    
```
