Documentation

Overview

Package oldevents contains types and logic for processing event data from older SDKs that use obsolete event schemas. The "summarizing" logic in the parent package uses this code to transform the event data, converting it into parameters that are then fed into the same event processor that is used by the Go SDK.

The schema variants we need to handle are:

1. Version 1 - assumed as the default if the schema version header is absent. This is from an old SDK, prior to the implementation of the new event logic that includes summary events, tracking, and debugging.

2. Version 2 - from PHP SDK 3.1.0 and later. This includes a bit more information.

Regardless of the schema version, one constant is that if an event has a "user" property, we take the user properties and do not transform them in any way-- because we assume the SDK has already done so, based on its own configuration (e.g. if there were private attributes to be removed, they have been removed). Newer PHP SDK versions will send "context" rather than "user", so we treat the two property names interchangeably in the input data.

Translating "feature" events

The "feature" (evaluation) event is where all the significant differences are. We currently use this event type only for the unusual "full event tracking" mode, but very old SDKs produced one of these for every evaluation, and the PHP SDK necessarily must do so because (being stateless) it's not capable of computing summary events.

In schema version 1, the "variation" (variation index) property is never provided. We need this in order to compute summary events, so we must get the flag data and infer the variation index by looking at the flag's variation list.

In schema version 2, if and only if the PHP SDK version is at least 3.6.0, the "trackEvents" and "debugEventsUntilDate" properties are set by the SDK, copied from the corresponding flag properties, because the SDK knows we will need them as inputs to event processing. If they are not present (which is an ambiguous state, because it might just mean they are false/null), we must get the flag data.

In any schema version, if the "version" property (flag version) is absent then the flag did not exist and we don't need to bother getting the flag data.

Translating "identify" events

The old identify event is basically the same as the new one, except it has a redundant "key" property and it refers to the context as "user".

Translating "custom" events

The old custom event differs from the new one in that it could have an inline user; in the new model, it has only the context keys, and the rest of the context properties are moved to an "index" event by the event processor.

Translating "alias" events

The "alias" event type no longer exists in the new schema, but for simplicity's sake, we are allowed to send it as part of a payload in the new schema if we have received it from an older SDK. We simply pass this event (and any other event whose kind we don't recognize) as an unchanged JSON object.

Functions

func TranslateCustomEvent

func TranslateCustomEvent(e CustomEvent) (ldevents.CustomEventData, error)

TranslateCustomEvent converts a custom event generated by the PHP SDK into the appropriate parameters for generating a custom event in the new-style event output.

func TranslateFeatureEvent

func TranslateFeatureEvent(
	e FeatureEvent,
	schemaVersion int,
	dataStore subsystems.DataStore,
) (ldevents.EvaluationData, error)

TranslateFeatureEvent converts a "feature" event generated by the PHP SDK into the appropriate parameters for putting equivalent evaluation information into the new-style event output.

See package comments in package_info.go for more details about this logic.

func TranslateIdentifyEvent

func TranslateIdentifyEvent(e IdentifyEvent) (ldevents.IdentifyEventData, error)

TranslateIdentifyEvent converts an identify event generated by the PHP SDK into the appropriate parameters for generating an identify event in the new-style event output.

Types

type CustomEvent

type CustomEvent struct {
	CreationDate ldtime.UnixMillisecondTime `json:"creationDate"`
	Key          string                     `json:"key"`
	User         *ReceivedEventContext      `json:"user"`
	Context      *ReceivedEventContext      `json:"context"`
	Data         ldvalue.Value              `json:"data"`
	MetricValue  *float64                   `json:"metricValue"`
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

CustomEvent represents a "custom" event in old event data.

See package comments in package_info.go for more details on how this differs from the new model.

func (CustomEvent) Kind

func (e CustomEvent) Kind() string

type FeatureEvent

type FeatureEvent struct {
	CreationDate         ldtime.UnixMillisecondTime `json:"creationDate"`
	Key                  string                     `json:"key"`
	User                 *ReceivedEventContext      `json:"user"`
	Context              *ReceivedEventContext      `json:"context"`
	Version              ldvalue.OptionalInt        `json:"version"`
	Variation            ldvalue.OptionalInt        `json:"variation"`
	Value                ldvalue.Value              `json:"value"`
	Default              ldvalue.Value              `json:"default"`
	TrackEvents          ldvalue.OptionalBool       `json:"trackEvents"`
	DebugEventsUntilDate ldtime.UnixMillisecondTime `json:"debugEventsUntilDate"`
	Reason               ldreason.EvaluationReason  `json:"reason"`
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

FeatureEvent represents a "feature" (evaluation) event in old event data.

See package comments in package_info.go for more details on how this differs from the new model.

func (FeatureEvent) Kind

func (e FeatureEvent) Kind() string

type IdentifyEvent

type IdentifyEvent struct {
	CreationDate ldtime.UnixMillisecondTime `json:"creationDate"`
	User         *ReceivedEventContext      `json:"user"`
	Context      *ReceivedEventContext      `json:"context"`
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

IdentifyEvent represents an "identify" event in old event data.

See package comments in package_info.go for more details on how this differs from the new model.

func (IdentifyEvent) Kind

func (e IdentifyEvent) Kind() string

type OldEvent

type OldEvent interface {
	Kind() string
}

OldEvent is an interface implemented by all event types parsed by this package.

func UnmarshalEvent

func UnmarshalEvent(rawEvent []byte) (OldEvent, error)

UnmarshalEvent attempts to unmarshal a JSON object blob into an event.

type ReceivedEventContext

type ReceivedEventContext struct {
	ldevents.EventInputContext
}

ReceivedEventContext wraps the ldevents.EventContext type to add appropriate JSON unmarshaling behavior. When we are processing old event data, we do not want to transform the user/context properties at all, because an SDK has already done so-- e.g. if private attributes had to be removed, they have already been removed. So, we use the special "preserialized" mode that tells ldevents to treat this as a raw blob.

func (*ReceivedEventContext) UnmarshalJSON

func (r *ReceivedEventContext) UnmarshalJSON(data []byte) error

UnmarshalJSON captures the original JSON user data and treats it as a context.

type UntranslatedEvent

type UntranslatedEvent struct {
	RawEvent []byte
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

UntranslatedEvent represents an event that we do not implement any special processing for.

func (UntranslatedEvent) Kind

func (e UntranslatedEvent) Kind() string
