=Triggers= Triggers in EPrints and like message queues, you register a function which is called when a trigger point is hit. There are lots of triggers in EPrints which are defined in the EPrints/Const.pm file however not all of them have trigger points at the time of writing. Ideally we would want to use the EP_TRIGGER_FILES_MODIFIED as our trigger, however this is one of the ones which currently has no trigger point. So instead we are going to register our code against the EP_TRIGGER_AFTER_COMMIT on the '''file''' dataset only. There are two types of trigger: * Repository Triggers: General purpose triggers which should always be called with the same params and types. * Dataset Triggers: Similar to repository triggers except they operate on a single dataset which changes depending on the trigger point. We are thus going to register our trigger against the '''file''' dataset using a dataset trigger. ==Our Dataset Trigger== Triggers are registered in the repository config on load, thus the code can sit in our config file under cfg/cfg.d/. Don't forget to reload the config to load the trigger. $c->add_dataset_trigger( "file", EP_TRIGGER_AFTER_COMMIT , sub { my ( %params ) = @_; my $repository = $params{repository}; return undef if (!defined $repository); if (defined $params{dataobj}) { my $file = $params{dataobj}; my $file_id = $file->value("fileid"); $repository->dataset( "event_queue" )->create_dataobj({ pluginid => "Event::ScanFile", action => "scanfile", params => [$file_id], }); } });
