Extend Ring to meet your own needs

Creating new coders

Users can register new custom coders with aliases. Once a coder is registered to global registry, passing its alias to coder parameter of each factory is identical to passing the coder object to coder parameter.

see:Save and load rich data for details

Creating new factory functions

To create a new factory, basic understanding of factory bases is required. Let’s see one by one with examples.

General factory: ring.func.base.factory()

Creating simple shortcuts

see:Creating factory shortcuts to create shortcuts of existing factories.

New storage interface

The most important component is the storage_interface parameter, which is expected to inherit ring.func.base.BaseStorage. The abstract class defines common basic operations of storage.

(TBD)

New sub-function semantics
