Flow builder

[trbKnl]

Added:

• Flow builder
• logs are handled in the flow builder, you can either donate logs, or dont donate logs
• Some extra info on what files types

@paulmaxus, I implemented your builder Idea. Its flexible enough to handle anything, but its also restricted enough that you can mostly stick to the defaults.

It works as follows:

1. You can create a flow
2. Add steps to the flow: i.e. ask for a submit file, extract data, etc.
3. you can string steps together, and feed output from the previous step to the next step
4. You need to indicate, that port should render a screen, with the @yiedable decorator else it wont work

Pros:

• Abstraction, so no code duplication, uniform handling of the flow across platforms
• Flexible

Cons:

• Harder to understand

What do you think about it? Feel free to make changes

I think the flow design makes it much easier for us to use and extend Port with new modules. Like we discussed, combining extraction and review steps would make sense, but other than that perfect!
