Element - Base element class
============================


.. _core_element_abstract_methods:

Abstract Methods
----------------
For loading and configuration purposes, Elements must implement the
:ref:`Plugin base class abstract methods <core_plugin_abstract_methods>`.


.. _core_element_build_phase:

Build Phase
~~~~~~~~~~~
The following methods are the foundation of the element's *build
phase*, they must be implemented by all Element classes, unless
explicitly stated otherwise.

* :func:`Element.configure_sandbox() <buildstream.element.Element.configure_sandbox>`

  Configures the :class:`.Sandbox`. This is called before anything else

* :func:`Element.stage() <buildstream.element.Element.stage>`

  Stage dependencies and :class:`Sources <buildstream.source.Source>` into
  the sandbox.

* :func:`Element.prepare() <buildstream.element.Element.prepare>`

  Call preparation methods that should only be performed once in the
  lifetime of a build directory (e.g. autotools' ./configure).

  **Optional**: If left unimplemented, this step will be skipped.

* :func:`Element.assemble() <buildstream.element.Element.assemble>`

  Perform the actual assembly of the element


Miscellaneous
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miscellaneous abstract methods also exist:

* :func:`Element.generate_script() <buildstream.element.Element.generate_script>`

  For the purpose of ``bst source checkout --include-build-scripts``, an Element may optionally implement this.
