- API - Probably refers to the “normal“ API of spdf v2 without workflows unless otherwise noted.
- Workflow - Either the express-endpoint for running workflows or the user defined workflow-json
- Action - A sub-element of a workflow describing what operation should run on the inputted file / output of the last action.
- Operation - The actual function that will run on the pdf, including parameters.
- Operator - The actual code/implementation of the Operation (e.g. impose.ts) OR The parent class of every Operator.
- Validator - A function that makes sure things are as they should be. Every Operator must have one.
- Decorator - Explanations and Human Readable names of fields, these will be displayed in the frontend and used to provide better errors for the (workflow-)API
An Operator is either shared by the server and the client or it might have different implementations based on if its executed by the client, desktop-backend or web-backend. The current structure allows us to define where the Operator can be run.
