🎄 Santa’s Sleigh Safety Script 🎄
Hello, everyone! Today, let’s dive into a festive example from our Polarion Advent Calendar. Imagine Santa preparing for his big Christmas Eve flight. But wait—what if there’s an asteroid in his path? That’s where our Santa’s Sleigh Safety Script comes in! 🎅✨
This script uses NASA’s Near-Earth Object API to check for any cosmic obstacles on Santa’s flight route. It’s designed to ensure the skies are clear so Santa and his reindeer can safely deliver gifts on time!
Here’s how it works:
- The script sends a request to NASA’s API to fetch data about objects approaching Earth today.
- If the data shows an object is closer than 10,000 kilometers, the script halts the workflow, preventing Santa from taking off until it’s safe.
- And if NASA’s elves—I mean servers—don’t respond in time, the script blocks the workflow with an error message, just to be sure.
But we didn’t stop at functionality—this script is packed with Christmas cheer! 🎁 For example:
- It logs messages like “🎅 All clear! No objects threatening Santa’s sleigh.”
- And if something’s too close, you’ll see a festive alert like: “🚨 Danger! Object detected at 9,500 km. Santa’s sleigh must stay grounded!”
Finally, to keep it extra festive, we’ve added fun touches like reindeer-ready logs, a countdown to Christmas, and even ASCII art! This example highlights how you can add joy and creativity to your scripts while showcasing Polarion’s powerful workflow features.
Merry Christmas and may all your workflows be merry and bright! 🌟🎄🎅
Special Thanks to Martin Popelak!
