host
HostBase
Bases: ABC
Base of host implementation class.
Host is pipeline implementation of DCC application. This class should help to identify what must/should/can be implemented for specific functionality.
Compared to 'avalon' concept: What was before considered as functions in host implementation folder. The host implementation should primarily care about adding ability of creation (mark products to be published) and optionally about referencing published representations as containers.
Host may need extend some functionality like working with workfiles or loading. Not all host implementations may allow that for those purposes can be logic extended with implementing functions for the purpose. There are prepared interfaces to be able identify what must be implemented to be able use that functionality. - current statement is that it is not required to inherit from interfaces but all of the methods are validated (only their existence!)
Installation of host before (avalon concept):
from ayon_core.pipeline import install_host
import ayon_core.hosts.maya.api as host
install_host(host)
Installation of host now:
from ayon_core.pipeline import install_host
from ayon_core.hosts.maya.api import MayaHost
host = MayaHost()
install_host(host)
Todo
- move content of 'install_host' as method of this class
- register host object
- install global plugin paths
- store registered plugin paths to this object
- handle current context (project, asset, task)
- this must be done in many separated steps
- have it's object of host tools instead of using globals
This implementation will probably change over time when more functionality and responsibility will be added.

__init__()
Initialization of host.
Register DCC callbacks, host specific plugin paths, targets etc. (Part of what 'install' did in 'avalon' concept.)
Note
At this moment global "installation" must happen before host installation. Because of this current limitation it is recommended to implement 'install' method which is triggered after global 'install'.

ILoadHost
Implementation requirements to be able use reference of representations.
The load plugins can do referencing even without implementation of methods here, but switch and removement of containers would not be possible.
Questions
- Is list container dependency of host or load plugins?
- Should this be directly in HostBase?
- how to find out if referencing is available?
- do we need to know that?

get_context_data()
abstractmethod
Get global data related to creation-publishing from workfile.
These data are not related to any created instance but to whole publishing context. Not saving/returning them will cause that each reset of publishing resets all values to default ones.
Context data can contain information about enabled/disabled publish plugins or other values that can be filled by artist.
Returns:
Name | Type | Description |

update_context_data(data, changes)
abstractmethod
Store global context data to workfile.
Called when some values in context data has changed.
Without storing the values in a way that 'get_context_data' would return them will each reset of publishing cause loose of filled values by artist. Best practice is to store values into workfile, if possible.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
data | dict | New data as are. | required |
changes | dict | Only data that has been changed. Each value has tuple with '( | required |
