The parsing and namespace cleaning isn't terribly expensive, but it does
add up. It was adding an extra 5sec when processing 100,000 basic
message stanzas.
A filter accepts and returns a stanza, but potentially modified.
To prevent sending/receiving a stanza, a filter may return None.
Incoming:
self.add_filter('in', in_filter)
Outgoing:
self.add_filter('out', out_filter)
Filters are applied in the order thay are added. However, you may
add an order parameter, which is the place in the list to insert the
filter:
self.add_filter('in', in_filter, order=0)
Each interface, say foo, may be overridden in three ways:
set_foo
get_foo
del_foo
To declare an override in a plugin, add the class field
overrides as so:
overrides = ['set_foo', 'del_foo']
Each override must have a matching set_foo(), etc method
for implementing the new behaviour.
To enable the overrides for a particular parent stanza,
pass the option overrides=True to register_stanza_plugin.
register_stanza_plugin(Stanza, Plugin, overrides=True)
Example code:
class Test(ElementBase):
name = 'test'
namespace = 'testing'
interfaces = set(('foo', 'bar'))
sub_interfaces = set(('bar',))
class TestOverride(ElementBase):
name = 'test-override'
namespace = 'testing'
plugin_attrib = 'override'
interfaces = set(('foo',))
overrides = ['set_foo']
def setup(self, xml):
# Don't include an XML element in the parent stanza
# since we're adding just an attribute.
# If adding a regular subelement, no need to do this.
self.xml = ET.Element('')
def set_foo(self, value):
print("overrides!")
self.parent()._set_attr('foo', 'override-%s' % value)
register_stanza_plugin(Test, TestOverride, overrides=True)
Example usage:
>>> t = TestStanza()
>>> t['foo'] = 'bar'
>>> t['foo']
'override-bar'
ElementBase instances will display the top-most namespace by default.
StanzaBase instances will NOT display the top-most namespace by default.
May pass True or False to __str__ to override.
This allows exceptions to include the original
content of a stanza in the error response by including
the parameter clear=False when raising the exception.
Will now always show top-level namespace, unless it is the same
as the stream's default namespace. Also added the XMPP stream
namespace to the namespace map as 'stream'.
Use stanza.values instead of _get/set_stanza_values where used.
ElementBase stanzas can now use .tag
May use class method tag_name() for stanza classes.
ElementBase now has .clear() method.
May now use register_stanza_plugin(Foo, Bar, iterable=True)
to add to the set of stanza classes used for iterable
substanzas. It is no longer necessary to manually specify
the contents of subitem if the new method is used.
A stanza object may add is_extension = True to its class definition
to provide a single new interface to a parent stanza.
For example:
import sleekxmpp
from sleekxmpp import Iq
from sleekxmpp.xmlstream import ElementBase, register_stanza_plugin, ET
class Foo(ElementBase):
"""
Test adding just an attribute to a parent stanza.
Adding subelements works as expected.
"""
is_extension = True
interfaces = set(('foo',))
plugin_attrib = 'foo'
def setup(self, xml):
# Don't include an XML element in the parent stanza
# since we're adding just an attribute.
# If adding a regular subelement, no need to do this.
self.xml = ET.Element('')
def set_foo(self, val):
self.parent()._set_attr('foo', val)
def get_foo(self):
return self.parent()._get_attr('foo')
def del_foo(self):
self.parent()._del_attr('foo')
register_stanza_plugin(Iq, Foo)
i1 = Iq()
i2 = Iq(xml=ET.fromstring("<iq xmlns='jabber:client' foo='bar' />"))
>>> i1['foo'] = '3'
>>> i1
'3'
>>> i1
'<iq id="0" foo="3" />'
>>> i2
'<iq id="0" foo="bar" />'
>>> i2['foo']
'bar'
>>> del i2['foo']
>>> i2
'<iq id="0" />'
Support is only for adding literal XML content
to stanzas. Full support for things like multiple
message bodies with different xml:lang values is
still in the works.
Stanza objects now accept the use of underscored names.
The CamelCase versions are still available for backwards compatibility,
but are discouraged.
The property stanza.values now maps to the old getStanzaValues and
setStanzaValues, in addition to _set_stanza_values and
_get_stanza_values.
