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'
Backward incompatibility alert!
Please see examples/adhoc_provider.py for how to use the new
plugin implementation, or the test examples in the files
tests/test_stream_xep_0050.py and tests/test_stanza_xep_0050.py.
Major changes:
- May now have zero-step commands. Useful if a command is
intended to be a dynamic status report that doesn't
require any user input.
- May use payloads other than data forms, such as a
completely custom stanza type.
- May include multiple payload items, such as multiple
data forms, or a form and a custom stanza type.
- Includes a command user API for calling adhoc commands
on remote agents and managing the workflow.
- Added support for note elements.
Todo:
- Add prev action support.
You may use register_plugin('old_0050') to continue using the
previous XEP-0050 implementation.
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.
We need to check if type="get". otherwise we will send our version
when we will receive the version of the remote entity, and thus
going in an infinite loop.
Can now be used as so:
>>> msg['chat_state']
''
>>> msg
<message />
>>> msg['chat_state'] = 'paused'
>>> msg
<message>
<paused xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/chatstates" />
</message>
>>> msg['chat_state']
'paused'
>>> del msg['chat_state']
>>> msg
<message />
Now done more responsibly, saving any existing signal handlers
and calling them when an interrupt occurs in addition to the
one Sleek installs.
NOTE: You may need to explicitly use "kill <process id>" in
order to trigger the proper signal handler execution, and
to raise the "killed" event.
Instead of the actual callback object, return just the name of
the callback object created when using iq.send(callback=..).
This will help prevent memory leaks by not keeping an additional
reference to the object, but still allows for the callback to be
canceled by using self.remove_handler("handler_name").
Waiting until the actual run step means that the handler is not
marked for deletion when checked in the __spawn_event() thread,
causing the callback to stay in the handler list.
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.
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" />'
