helpers

---

There are two helpers used for authoring.

• Method Helper
  • Most common
  • The method helper contains a schedule with a single job. A simple “schedule” automatically gets created and inserted into the projects.  Often times, these stacks are one time A to B automation or meant to be ingested by other high level stacks who have more elaborate schedules.
  • Example

    def run(stackargs):
        stack = newStack(stackargs)
    

• Class Helper
  • Less uncommon
  • The class helper expects an explicit “schedule” of jobs. Class schedules are typically used for triggered automation as opposed to executing one time A to B automation.
  • Example

    class Main(newSchedStack):
        def __init__(self,stackargs):
            newSchedStack.__init__(self,stackargs)
