Boundary Bulk Upload Overview:
This documentation outlines the process and components of bulk uploading boundaries for a campaign. It covers the proper format of the Excel sheet, unique code generation, functions for boundary entity creation, boundary relationship creation, localisation, and API details.
The Excel sheet should be formatted as follows:
INDIA
INDIA
KARNATAKA
INDIA
KARNATAKA
BLR
INDIA
KARNATAKA
BLR
KORAMANGALA
INDIA
KARNATAKA
BLR
KORAMANGALA
3RD BLOCK
INDIA
KARNATAKA
BLR
KORAMANGALA
3RD BLOCK
EGOV
INDIA
BIHAR
INDIA
BIHAR
PATNA
Unique codes are auto-generated for each boundary level as follows:
INDIA
ADMIN_IN
KARNATAKA
ADMIN_IN_01_KARNATAKA
BLR
ADMIN_IN_01_01_BLR
KORAMANGALA
ADMIN_IN_01_01_01_KORMANGALA
BIHAR
ADMIN_IN_02_BIHAR
PATNA
ADMIN_IN_02_01_PATNA
If there are two districts (boundaries at the same level) with the same name (for example, BLR) under different parent-level boundary, the names will be updated to BLR, BLR-01, and so on.
Purpose:
Generate auto-generated boundary codes based on boundary list, child-parent mapping, element codes map, count map, and request information.
Parameters:
boundaryList
: List of boundary data.
childParentMap
: Map of child-parent relationships.
elementCodesMap
: Map of boundaries to its corresponding auto generated unique codes.
countMap
: Map of counts for each boundaries.
request
: HTTP request object.
Returns:
Updated element codes map.
Steps:
Initialise Column Data:
Initialise an array to store column data.
Extract Unique Elements:
Iterate through each row of the boundary list.
Extract unique elements from each column.
Generate Boundary Codes:
Iterate over columns to generate boundary codes.
Check if the element code exists in the element codes map.
If not, generate a new code based on parent-child mapping and sequence.
Store the code of the element in the element codes map.
Default Code Generation:
Generate default code if parent code is not found.
Updated Element Codes Map
Return Updated Boundary Data - Auto-Generated Code Map.
Boundary entities are created chunk-wise, with each chunk consisting of 200 codes.
Purpose:
To create new boundary entities in the system from provided boundary codes.
Steps:
Convert Boundary Map:
Change the boundary map to a list of objects with key
and value
.
Prepare Request:
Set up the request details and initialise lists for boundaries and existing codes.
Chunk Boundary Codes:
Divide the boundary codes into smaller groups.
Fetch Existing Boundaries:
Check the system for existing boundary codes and collect them.
Identify New Boundaries:
Determine which boundary codes are new and add them to the list of boundaries to create.
Create New Boundaries:
If there are new boundaries, send them to the system in groups and log the results.
Handle Existing Boundaries:
Log a message if all boundaries already exist.
Error Handling:
Manage any errors that occur and provide a relevant error message.
Create Boundary Relationship
Purpose:
To create boundary relationships in the system from provided boundary codes and their parent-child mappings.
Steps:
Convert Boundary Map:
Transform the boundary map to a list of {key, value}
objects.
Initialise Request:
Prepare the request details and activity messages array.
Fetch Existing Relationships:
Retrieve existing boundary relationships and extract their codes.
Identify and Create Relationships:
For each boundary code, check if it exists. If not:
Prepare the boundary relationship data.
Confirm the parent boundary creation.
Create the boundary relationship.
Handle Existing Relationships:
If all relationships already exist, log a validation error.
Attach Activity Messages:
Add activity messages to the request body.
Error Handling:
Catch, log, and handle errors appropriately.
Boundary codes are localised to their corresponding names as specified in the uploaded Excel sheet.
To add more boundaries after the initial upload, use an Excel sheet that includes existing boundary codes. New boundaries without codes will be created in the same way as the first upload.
API request for boundary bulk upload:
Note: Ensure the API endpoint, headers, and payload are customised as per your environment and requirements.
