Hello @tenthe , I am interested in working on this problem, but I am quite new to the GitHub community. Would you be able to point me in the direction of which files/packages would be of interest to me. I'm still getting used to wading through large projects. Also, the description makes this seem like all I would need to do is implement some simple function like a |

Hey @dshunter107, thanks for your interest in contributing here 🙏🏼 One important thing is the git flow for open source projects: https://www.asmeurer.com/git-workflow/ Since this issue involves introducing a new pipeline element, the following tutorial might be relevant for you: https://streampipes.apache.org/docs/extend-tutorial-data-processors Since you asked, where to place the new processing element in our repo, I'd recommend you choose Yes, that's probably the only thing we need 🙂 When writing this issue I thought way too complex, so I really liked your proposal. |
Closes apache#1865 This processor parses a DateTime string. It converts the string into a ZonedDateTime variable, and places the variable in the event variable. Tests are made to ensure that the code works properly. I am still somewhat new, so any feedback is welcome.
* Creation of DateTimeProcessor Closes #1865 This processor parses a DateTime string. It converts the string into a ZonedDateTime variable, and places the variable in the event variable. Tests are made to ensure that the code works properly. I am still somewhat new, so any feedback is welcome. * Updates to parse datetime. Incorporates feedback such as the following: * Way to initialize variables with constructors * simplifies methods with more efficient methods * creates the resource file for the processor * standardizes the names of inputs (i.e field) * creates the documentation for the processor * I had renamed the processor, but I forgot to rename the Testing file. * improve assets * improve assets * adapt parameter name in test * Registering Processing Element and Aligning Ids * Drop down instead of radio group. Also change inputTimeZone description in resource files * improve parameter description * put timestamp in event * Temporary workaround * Includes output strategy for time zone. One possible workaround is to use the time zone to reconstitute the datetime after the event has been collected. * minor final improvements * style: adapt to checkstyle --------- Co-authored-by: bossenti <[email protected]>
Description
A user should have the ability parse datetime values from string values in a pipeline. Therefore, a new processor is required that provides the functionality to convert a string value to a datetime value based on a given string format.
Example Configuration
DatetimeFormat: A format string that describes the format of the datetime stringThe datetime format should be configurable with a conveniant UI dialog, ideally similar to the our Notification sink:
Additional Functionality
If you have any other ideas for the functionality of this new processor, please feel free to add them here.
