<h1>API<a class="headerlink" href="#api" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>hg-review takes Mercurial’s approach to API stability:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The command line interface is fairly stable and will not break often.</li>
<li>File formats will not change often.</li>
<li>The internal implementation may change frequently – there are no guarantees
of stability.</li>
</ul>
<p>Providing a stable CLI means that (possibly non-GPL) programs can interact with
hg-review easily without fear of constant breaking.</p>
<p>Stable file formats mean that older versions of hg-review will be able to work
with review data from newer versions (albeit with reduced functionality).</p>
<p><em>Not</em> providing a stable internal implementation allows hg-review’s code to be
kept clean and elegant. It means that Python programs will needs to use
subprocesses to avoid breaking, but this is a tradeoff that the author feels is
worth making.</p>
<div class="section" id="data-repository-layout">
<h2>Data Repository Layout<a class="headerlink" href="#data-repository-layout" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The structure of hg-review’s data repository looks like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>your-project/
|
+-- .hg/
| |
| +-- review
| | |
| | +-- {{ changeset hash }}
| | | |
| | | +-- .exists
| | | |
| | | +-- comments
| | | | |
| | | | +-- {{ comment hash }}
| | | | |
| | | | `-- other comments...
| | | |
| | | +-- signoffs
| | | |
| | | +-- {{ signoff hash }}
| | | |
| | | `-- other signoffs ...
| | |
| | `-- other changesets ...
| |
| `-- other files ...
|
`-- other files ...</pre>
</div>
<p>All review data for a changeset is stored in:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>.hg/review/{{ changeset hash }}/</pre>
</div>
<p>A <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.exists</span></tt> file is included in that directory when code review for
that changeset is initialized. This allows us to check if a given changeset has
been initialized for code review very quickly.</p>
<p>Comments for a changeset are stored in:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>.hg/review/{{ changeset hash }}/comments/{{ comment hash }}</pre>
</div>
<p>Signoffs for a changeset are stored in:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>.hg/review/{{ changeset hash }}/signoffs/{{ signoff hash }}</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="file-formats">
<h2>File Formats<a class="headerlink" href="#file-formats" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>hg-review’s file format is (fairly) stable and is designed to be easily parsed
to enable export to other code review systems.</p>
<p>Comment and signoff files are stored as JSON. The files are indented four
spaces per level to make them more human-readable.</p>
<div class="section" id="exists-files">
<h3><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.exists</span></tt> Files<a class="headerlink" href="#exists-files" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.exists</span></tt> file is always empty. It simply exists to make looking up
whether a given changeset has been initialized faster. It may go away in the
future – do not depend on it.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="comment-files">
<h3>Comment Files<a class="headerlink" href="#comment-files" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>

blank.</dd>

<h2>Command Line Interface<a class="headerlink" href="#command-line-interface" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>hg-review’s command line interface is (fairly) stable. If you want to interact
with review data for a repository this is the safest method to use.</p>
<p>See the <a class="reference external" href="cli.html"><em>command line interface documentation</em></a> for more details.</p>

<h2>Internal Python API<a class="headerlink" href="#internal-python-api" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>hg-review’s internal Python implementation is <em>not</em> stable. It may change at
any time. Relying on it virtually guarantees your application will break at
some point.</p>
<p>For a more stable API you should use the command line interface.</p>
<p>The Python API will be documented later, but is not a high priority at the
moment because of its volatility.</p>
