Transformalize in Orchard Core

This is an Orchard Core module that uses Transformalize arrangements to create:

Reports

Reports read, filter, search, export, and page over data. You may transform records using Razor , Liquid, and built-in transforms. If the records have coordinates, you may display them on a map.

Tasks

Tasks accept, transform, and validate parameters before running traditional transformalize or simple data modification processes.

Forms

Building off the ability to validate parameters, forms collect valid user supplied input and store it in a relational provider (a specified table).

Bulk Actions

Bulk Actions combine reports and tasks. You may select records on a report, and send them to a task for processing.

<!--Actions are added to report arrangements like this: ```xml <cfg name="report"> <actions> <add name="task-alias" description="a description" /> </actions> </cfg> ``` -->

Five configurable tasks must be defined in order to run bulk actions:

  1. batch-create: create and return a batch identifier
  2. batch-write: write batch values.
  3. batch-summary: gather review and result summary for a batch.
  4. batch-run: indicate the task is running (not yet implemented)
  5. batch-success: indicate the task succeeded
  6. batch-fail: indicate the task failed

A recipe named "Transformalize Batches SQLite" provides an example set of the above tasks.

Putting it all together, here is a GIF showing a report (with map) that has a bulk action to change color associated with the record.
