Lattice#

class covalent._workflow.lattice.Lattice(workflow_function, transport_graph=None)[source]#

A lattice workflow object that holds the work flow graph and is returned by lattice decorator.

workflow_function#

The workflow function that is decorated by lattice decorator.

transport_graph#

The transport graph which will be the basis on how the workflow is executed.

metadata#

Dictionary of metadata of the lattice.

post_processing#

Boolean to indicate if the lattice is in post processing mode or not.

kwargs#

Keyword arguments passed to the workflow function.

electron_outputs#

Dictionary of electron outputs received after workflow execution.

Methods:

build_graph(*args, **kwargs)

Builds the transport graph for the lattice by executing the workflow function which will trigger the call of all underlying electrons and they will get added to the transport graph for later execution.

dispatch(*args, **kwargs)

DEPRECATED: Function to dispatch workflows.

dispatch_sync(*args, **kwargs)

DEPRECATED: Function to dispatch workflows synchronously by waiting for the result too.

draw(*args, **kwargs)

Generate lattice graph and display in UI taking into account passed in arguments.

get_metadata(name)

Get value of the metadata of given name.

set_metadata(name, value)

Function to add/edit metadata of given name and value to lattice’s metadata.

build_graph(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Builds the transport graph for the lattice by executing the workflow function which will trigger the call of all underlying electrons and they will get added to the transport graph for later execution.

Also redirects any print statements inside the lattice function to null and ignores any exceptions caused while executing the function.

GRAPH WILL NOT BE BUILT AFTER AN EXCEPTION HAS OCCURRED.

Parameters
  • *args – Positional arguments to be passed to the workflow function.

  • **kwargs – Keyword arguments to be passed to the workflow function.

Return type

None

Returns

None

dispatch(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

DEPRECATED: Function to dispatch workflows.

Parameters
  • *args – Positional arguments for the workflow

  • **kwargs – Keyword arguments for the workflow

Return type

str

Returns

Dispatch id assigned to job

dispatch_sync(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

DEPRECATED: Function to dispatch workflows synchronously by waiting for the result too.

Parameters
  • *args – Positional arguments for the workflow

  • **kwargs – Keyword arguments for the workflow

Return type

Result

Returns

Result of workflow execution

draw(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Generate lattice graph and display in UI taking into account passed in arguments.

Parameters
  • *args – Positional arguments to be passed to build the graph.

  • **kwargs – Keyword arguments to be passed to build the graph.

Return type

None

Returns

None

get_metadata(name)[source]#

Get value of the metadata of given name.

Parameters

name (str) – Name of the metadata whose value is needed.

Returns

Value of the metadata of given name.

Return type

value

Raises

KeyError – If metadata of given name is not present.

set_metadata(name, value)[source]#

Function to add/edit metadata of given name and value to lattice’s metadata.

Parameters
  • name (str) – Name of the metadata to be added/edited.

  • value (Any) – Value of the metadata to be added/edited.

Return type

None

Returns

None
