Patrick Donelan 3dda2b49d4 Survey Branch Expressions now allow you to "tag" data along the way and store
it in the response data structure along with the actual user input. Tag data
can be used in subsequent expressions, in [[tag]] templated text replacement,
and to classify responses in an arbitrary way.

Refactored Survey expression utility subs that lookup values/scores/tags in
external assets.

Fixed bug whereby only highest precedence Survey expression was being evaluated
rather than letting them all run and do their own short-circuiting.

=head1 NAME
Package WebGUI::Asset::Wobject::Survey::ExpressionEngine
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class is used to process Survey gotoExpressions.
If you want to allow the expression engine to run you need to turn on the enableSurveyExpressionEngine flag
in your site config file. This is because no matter how 'Safe' the Safe.pm compartment is, it still has
caveats. For example, it doesn't protect you from infinite loops.
See L<run> for more details.

Utility sub that gives expressions access to recorded response values
Returns the recorded response value for the answer to question_variable

Same as L<value>, except that first argument is an asset spec (assetId or url), which must resolve
to a valid survey instance. The sub is applied to the most recent completed response for the user
on the survey instance given by asset_spec.

die( { other_instance => $asset_spec } );

}
=head2 score
Utility sub that gives expressions access to recorded response scores.
If the argument is a question variable, returns the score for the answer selected for question_variable.
If the argument is a section variable, returns the summed score for the answers to all the questions in section_variable
If two arguments are provided, the first argument is assumed to be an asset spec (assetId or url). In this
case the sub is applied to the most recent completed response for the user on the survey instance given by asset_spec.

=head2 scoreX
Same as L<score>, except that first argument is an asset spec (assetId or url), which must resolve
to a valid survey instance. The sub is applied to the most recent completed response for the user
on the survey instance given by asset_spec.
=cut
sub scoreX {

return $score;
} else {
# Throw an exception, triggering run() to resolve the external reference and re-run
die( { other_instance => $asset_spec } );
}
}
=head2 answered
Returns true/false depending on whether use has actually reached and responded to the given question
If two arguments are provided, the first argument is assumed to be an asset spec (assetId or url). In this
case the sub is applied to the most recent completed response for the user on the survey instance given by asset_spec.
=cut
sub answered {
my $key = shift;
my $answered = exists $values->{$key};
$session->log->debug("answered($key) returns [$answered]");
return $answered;
}
=head2 answeredX
Same as L<answered>, except that first argument is an asset spec (assetId or url), which must resolve
to a valid survey instance. The sub is applied to the most recent completed response for the user
on the survey instance given by asset_spec.
=cut
sub answeredX {
my ( $asset_spec, $key ) = @_;
# See if $otherInstances already contains the external survey

} else {
# Throw an exception, triggering run() to resolve the external reference and re-run
die( { other_instance => $asset_spec } );
}
}
=head2 tag ($name, [$value])
Mutator utility sub that gives expressions access to tag response values (and optionally set them).
=head3 $name
Name of tag whose value is returned.
=head3 $value (optional)
If provided, the tag is set to this value.
=cut
sub tag {
my ($name, $value) = @_;
if (defined $value) {
$session->log->debug("Setting tag [$name] to [$value]");
$tags->{$name} = $value;
} else {
$value = $tags->{$name};
$session->log->debug("tag($name) resolves to [$value]");
}
return $value;
}
=head2 tagX
Same as L<tag>, except that first argument is an asset spec (assetId or url), which must resolve
to a valid survey instance. The sub is applied to the most recent completed response for the user
on the survey instance given by asset_spec.
Note that it doesn't really make sense to try to set a tag on an external asset, so this sub
is only an accessor.
=cut
sub tagX {
my ( $asset_spec, $name ) = @_;
# See if $otherInstances already contains the external survey
if (my $other_instance = $otherInstances->{$asset_spec}) {
my $tags = $other_instance->{tags};
my $value = $tags->{$name};
$session->log->debug("tagX($asset_spec, $name) returns [$value]");
return $value;
} else {
# Throw an exception, triggering run() to resolve the external reference and re-run
die( { other_instance => $asset_spec } );
}
}
=head2 jump
Utility sub shared with Safe compartment so that expressions can call individual jump tests.
Throws an exception containing the jump target when a jump matches, thus allowing L<run> to
catch the first successful jump.
=cut
sub jump(&$) {
my ( $sub, $target ) = @_;
$jumpCount++;
# If $validTargets known, make sure target is valid
if ( $validTargets && !exists $validTargets->{$target} ) {
$session->log->debug("Invalid target [$target]");
if ($validate) {
die("Invalid jump target \"$target\""); # bail and report error
}
else {
return; # skip jump but continue with expression
}
}
if ( $sub->() ) {
$session->log->debug("jump call #$jumpCount is truthy");
die( { jump => $target } );
}
else {
$session->log->debug("jump call #$jumpCount is falsey");
}
}
=head2 avg
Utility sub shared with Safe compartment to allows expressions to easily compute the average of a list
=cut
sub avg {
my @vals = @_;
return sum(@vals) / @vals;
}
=head2 run ( $session, $expression, $opts )
Class method.
Evaluates the given expression in a Safe compartment.
=head3 session
A WebGUI::Session
=head3 expression
The expression to run.
A gotoExpression is essentially a perl expression that gets evaluated in a Safe compartment.
To access Section/Question recorded response values, the expression calls L<value>.
To access Section/Question recorded response scores, the expression calls L<score>.
To determine if a user reached and answered a question, the expression calls L<answered>.
All of these subs allow you to resolve values and scores from other completed survey
instances.
To trigger a jump, the expression calls L<jump>. The first truthy jump succeeds.
Expressions also have access to some useful utility subs such as avg(), and all of the
handy subs from List::Util (min, max, sum, etc..).
A very simple expression that checks if the response to s1q1 is 0 might look like:
jump { value(s1q1) == 0 } target
A more complicated gotoExpression with two possible jumps might look like:
jump { value(q1) > 5 and value(s2q1) =~ m/textmatch/ } target1;
jump { avg(value(q1), value(q2), value(home/anotherSurvey, q3)) > 10 } target2;
=head3 opts (optional)
Supported options are:
=over 3
=item * values
Hashref of values to make available to the expression via the L<value> utility sub
=item * scores
Hashref of scores to make available to the expression via the L<score> utility sub
=item * validTargets
A hashref of valid jump targets. If this is provided, all L<jump> calls will fail unless
the specified target is a key in the hashref.
=item * validate
Return errors rather than just logging them (useful for displaying survey validation errors to users)
