A convenience wrapper function that retrieves approval cycle details by delegating to get_approval_cycle with the same parameters.

Purpose

This function serves as a simplified alias for get_approval_cycle, providing a more intuitive function name for retrieving approval cycle information. It allows callers to optionally include related document information and comments in the returned data. This is useful in document management systems where approval workflows need to be tracked and queried.

Source Code

def get_approval(approval_uid, include_document=False, include_comments=False):
    """
    Get approval cycle details.
    
    This is a convenience function that calls get_approval_cycle with the same parameters.
    
    Args:
        approval_uid: UID of the approval cycle
        include_document: Whether to include document info
        include_comments: Whether to include comments
        
    Returns:
        Approval cycle data
    """
    return get_approval_cycle(approval_uid, include_comments, include_document)

Parameters

Parameter Details

approval_uid: Unique identifier (UID) of the approval cycle to retrieve. This should be a string or integer that uniquely identifies an approval cycle record in the system.

include_document: Boolean flag (default: False) that determines whether to include associated document information in the returned approval cycle data. Set to True to retrieve document details along with the approval cycle.

include_comments: Boolean flag (default: False) that determines whether to include approval comments in the returned data. Set to True to retrieve all comments associated with the approval cycle.

Return Value

Returns approval cycle data as returned by get_approval_cycle. The exact structure depends on the implementation of get_approval_cycle, but typically includes approval cycle metadata, status, approvers, and optionally document information and comments based on the include parameters. The return type is not explicitly annotated but likely returns a dictionary, object, or None if not found.

Dependencies

Required Imports

from CDocs.controllers.approval_controller import get_approval
from CDocs.controllers.approval_controller import get_approval_cycle

Usage Example

from CDocs.controllers.approval_controller import get_approval

# Basic usage - get approval cycle without extras
approval = get_approval('approval-123')

# Get approval with document information
approval_with_doc = get_approval('approval-123', include_document=True)

# Get approval with comments
approval_with_comments = get_approval('approval-123', include_comments=True)

# Get approval with both document and comments
full_approval = get_approval(
    'approval-123',
    include_document=True,
    include_comments=True
)

Best Practices

• This is a convenience wrapper - consider using get_approval_cycle directly if you need more control or clarity in your code
• Note that parameter order differs between this function and get_approval_cycle (include_document and include_comments are swapped)
• Always handle potential None returns or exceptions that may be raised by the underlying get_approval_cycle function
• Use include_document and include_comments judiciously as they may impact performance by loading additional related data
• Ensure proper error handling for cases where the approval_uid does not exist (may raise ResourceNotFoundError based on imports)
• Consider permission requirements - the underlying function may require specific permissions to access approval data
