=============
Using asyncio
=============
Block on IQ sending
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:meth:`.Iq.send` now returns a :class:`~.Future` so you can easily block with:
.. code-block:: python
result = await iq.send()
.. warning::
If the reply is an IQ with an ``error`` type, this will raise an
:class:`.IqError`, and if it timeouts, it will raise an
:class:`.IqTimeout`. Don't forget to catch it.
You can still use callbacks instead.
XEP plugin integration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The same changes from the SleekXMPP API apply, so you can do:
.. code-block:: python
iq_info = await self.xmpp['xep_0030'].get_info(jid)
Callbacks, Event Handlers, and Stream Handlers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IQ callbacks and :term:`Event Handlers <event handler>` can be coroutine
functions; in this case, they will be scheduled in the event loop using
:meth:`.asyncio.ensure_future` and not ran immediately.
A :class:`.CoroutineCallback` class has been added as well for
:term:`Stream Handlers <stream handler>`, which will use
:meth:`.asyncio.async` to schedule the callback.
Running the event loop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:meth:`.XMLStream.process` is only a thin wrapper on top of
``loop.run_forever()`` (if ``timeout`` is provided then it will
only run for this amount of time, and if ``forever`` is False it will
run until disconnection).
Therefore you can handle the event loop in any way you like
instead of using ``process()``.
Examples
~~~~~~~~
Blocking until the session is established
-----------------------------------------
This code blocks until the XMPP session is fully established, which
can be useful to make sure external events arent triggering XMPP
callbacks while everything is not ready.
.. code-block:: python
import asyncio, slixmpp
client = slixmpp.ClientXMPP('jid@example', 'password')
client.connected_event = asyncio.Event()
callback = lambda _: client.connected_event.set()
client.add_event_handler('session_start', callback)
client.connect()
loop.run_until_complete(event.wait())
# do some other stuff before running the event loop, e.g.
# loop.run_until_complete(httpserver.init())
client.process()
Use with other asyncio-based libraries
--------------------------------------
This code interfaces with aiohttp to retrieve two pages asynchronously
when the session is established, and then send the HTML content inside
a simple <message>.
.. code-block:: python
import aiohttp, slixmpp
async def get_pythonorg(event):
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
async with session.get('http://www.python.org') as resp:
text = await req.text()
client.send_message(mto='jid2@example', mbody=text)
async def get_asyncioorg(event):
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
async with session.get('http://www.asyncio.org') as resp:
text = await req.text()
client.send_message(mto='jid3@example', mbody=text)
client = slixmpp.ClientXMPP('jid@example', 'password')
client.add_event_handler('session_start', get_pythonorg)
client.add_event_handler('session_start', get_asyncioorg)
client.connect()
client.process()
Blocking Iq
-----------
This client checks (via XEP-0092) the software used by every entity it
receives a message from. After this, it sends a message to a specific
JID indicating its findings.
.. code-block:: python
import asyncio, slixmpp
class ExampleClient(slixmpp.ClientXMPP):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
slixmpp.ClientXMPP.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.register_plugin('xep_0092')
self.add_event_handler('message', self.on_message)
async def on_message(self, event):
# You should probably handle IqError and IqTimeout exceptions here
# but this is an example.
version = await self['xep_0092'].get_version(message['from'])
text = "%s sent me a message, he runs %s" % (message['from'],
version['software_version']['name'])
self.send_message(mto='master@example.tld', mbody=text)
client = ExampleClient('jid@example', 'password')
client.connect()
client.process()
