class AlertStatus

Maturity: 22

A simple enumeration-like class that defines alert status constants, currently containing only an 'unknown' status represented by the string '0'.

Purpose

This class serves as a namespace for alert status constants, providing a centralized location for status values that can be used throughout an application to represent different alert states. It follows a pattern similar to an enumeration, where class attributes represent different possible status values. Currently, it only defines an 'unknown' status, suggesting it may be incomplete or intended for extension with additional status values like 'active', 'resolved', 'pending', etc.

Source Code

class AlertStatus:
    """"""

    unknown = "0"

Parameters

Name Type Default Kind
bases - -

Parameter Details

bases: The base classes from which AlertStatus inherits. Since no explicit inheritance is shown in the code, this defaults to 'object'. This parameter is automatically provided by Python's class creation mechanism and is not typically specified by users.

Return Value

Instantiating AlertStatus returns an instance of the AlertStatus class. However, this class is designed to be used as a namespace for constants rather than being instantiated. The class attribute 'unknown' returns the string '0' when accessed via AlertStatus.unknown.

Class Interface

Attributes

Name Type Description Scope
unknown str Represents an unknown alert status, with the value '0'. This is a class variable that can be accessed without instantiating the class. class

Usage Example

# Access the unknown status constant
status = AlertStatus.unknown
print(status)  # Output: '0'

# Typical usage in conditional logic
if current_alert_status == AlertStatus.unknown:
    print('Alert status is unknown')

# Can also instantiate (though not the intended use pattern)
alert_status_obj = AlertStatus()
print(alert_status_obj.unknown)  # Output: '0'

Best Practices

  • This class should be used as a namespace for constants, not instantiated. Access status values directly via the class name (e.g., AlertStatus.unknown).
  • Consider extending this class with additional status constants (e.g., 'active', 'resolved', 'pending') to make it more useful.
  • Consider using Python's built-in Enum class from the enum module for better type safety and functionality if this pattern is expanded.
  • The empty docstring should be populated with documentation explaining the purpose and available status values.
  • Status values are currently strings; consider whether integers, enums, or other types would be more appropriate for your use case.
  • This class appears incomplete with only one status defined; ensure all necessary status values are added before production use.
