Source trait for implementing source plugins Trait defining the interface for all source implementations.

This is the core abstraction that all source plugins must implement. drasi-lib only interacts with sources through this trait - it has no knowledge of specific plugin types or their configurations.

Example Implementation

use drasi_lib::Source;
use drasi_lib::sources::{SourceBase, SourceBaseParams};
use drasi_lib::context::SourceRuntimeContext;

pub struct MySource {
    base: SourceBase,
    // Plugin-specific fields
}

impl MySource {
    pub fn new(config: MySourceConfig) -> Result<Self> {
        let params = SourceBaseParams::new(&config.id)
            .with_dispatch_mode(config.dispatch_mode)
            .with_dispatch_buffer_capacity(config.buffer_capacity);

        Ok(Self {
            base: SourceBase::new(params)?,
        })
    }
}

#[async_trait]
impl Source for MySource {
    fn id(&self) -> &str {
        &self.base.id
    }

    fn type_name(&self) -> &str {
        "my-source"
    }

    fn properties(&self) -> HashMap<String, Value> {
        // Return plugin-specific properties
    }

    async fn initialize(&self, context: SourceRuntimeContext) {
        self.base.initialize(context).await;
    }

    // ... implement other methods
}

Required Methods

fn id(&self) -> &str

Get the source’s unique identifier

fn type_name(&self) -> &str

Get the source type name (e.g., “postgres”, “http”, “mock”)

fn properties(&self) -> HashMap<String, Value>

Get the source’s configuration properties for inspection

This returns a HashMap representation of the source’s configuration for use in APIs and inspection. The actual typed configuration is owned by the plugin - this is just for external visibility.

fn start<'life0, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<()>> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait,

Start the source

This begins data ingestion and event generation.

fn stop<'life0, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<()>> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait,

Stop the source

This stops data ingestion and cleans up resources.

fn status<'life0, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = ComponentStatus> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait,

Get the current status of the source

fn subscribe<'life0, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, settings: SourceSubscriptionSettings, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<SubscriptionResponse>> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait,

Subscribe to this source for change events

This is called by queries to receive data changes from this source. The source should return a receiver for streaming events and optionally a bootstrap receiver for initial data.

Arguments

• settings - Subscription settings including query ID, text, and labels of interest

Returns

A SubscriptionResponse containing:

• A receiver for streaming source events
• Optionally a bootstrap receiver for initial data

fn as_any(&self) -> &dyn Any

Downcast helper for testing - allows access to concrete types

fn initialize<'life0, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, context: SourceRuntimeContext, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = ()> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait,

Initialize the source with runtime context.

This method is called automatically by DrasiLib when the source is added via add_source(). Plugin developers do not need to call this directly.

The context provides access to:

• source_id: The source’s unique identifier
• event_tx: Channel for reporting component lifecycle events
• state_store: Optional persistent state storage

Implementation should delegate to self.base.initialize(context).await.

Provided Methods

fn dispatch_mode(&self) -> DispatchMode

Get the dispatch mode for this source (Channel or Broadcast)

Default is Channel mode for backpressure support.

fn auto_start(&self) -> bool

Whether this source should auto-start when DrasiLib starts

Default is true. Override to return false if this source should only be started manually via start_source().

fn set_bootstrap_provider<'life0, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, _provider: Box<dyn BootstrapProvider + 'static>, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = ()> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait,

Set the bootstrap provider for this source

This method allows setting a bootstrap provider after source construction. It is optional - sources without a bootstrap provider will report that bootstrap is not available.

Implementation should delegate to self.base.set_bootstrap_provider(provider).await.
