TERA-fy Hints

April 11, 2024 ยท View on GitHub

Hints are a single string attached to file uploads to provide some context as to where it fits within the overall process. They are usually past-tense single-words indicating the output from each stage.

When attached to files they indicate that the generated file is an output from a stage. e.g. if a file is noted with the hint 'deduped' it indicates it is the product of a de-duplication stage.

They are used in multiple places:

  • Calls to most project library handling functions - selectProjectLibrary(), setProjectLibrary()
  • Within the UI to indicate what library is used during what process

Hint Reference

The following is a non-definitive list of hints that can be associated with files. In all cases the hint should be a lower-case single, past-tense word. Upper-case indicates a variable.

This list should also be mirrored in the main tera-tools.com/api/tools.json meta-list.
