Hints are a single string attached to file uploads to provide some context as to where it fits within the overall process. They are usually past-tense single-words indicating the output from each stage.
When attached to files they indicate that the generated file is an output from a stage. e.g. if a file is noted with the hint 'deduped' it indicates it is the product of a de-duplication stage.
They are used in multiple places:
- Calls to most project library handling functions -
selectProjectLibrary(),setProjectLibrary() - Within the UI to indicate what library is used during what process
The following is a non-definitive list of hints that can be associated with files. In all cases the hint should be a lower-case single, past-tense word. Upper-case indicates a variable.
This list should also be mirrored in the main tera-tools.com/api/tools.json meta-list.
