t.w.d.UserDirectory(resource.Resource) : class documentation

Part of twisted.web.distrib View Source View In Hierarchy

A resource which lists available user resources and serves them as children.
Method __init__ Initialize.
Method render_GET Render as HTML a listing of all known users with links to their personal resources.
Method getChild Retrieve a 'child' resource from me.
Instance Variable _pwd An object like pwd which is used to enumerate users and their home directories.
Method _users Return a list of two-tuples giving links to user resources and text to associate with those links.

_pwd =
An object like pwd which is used to enumerate users and their home directories.
def __init__(self, userDatabase=None): (source)
Initialize.
def _users(self): (source)
Return a list of two-tuples giving links to user resources and text to associate with those links.
def render_GET(self, request): (source)
Render as HTML a listing of all known users with links to their personal resources.
def getChild(self, name, request): (source)
Retrieve a 'child' resource from me.

Implement this to create dynamic resource generation -- resources which are always available may be registered with self.putChild().

This will not be called if the class-level variable 'isLeaf' is set in your subclass; instead, the 'postpath' attribute of the request will be left as a list of the remaining path elements.

For example, the URL /foo/bar/baz will normally be:

 | site.resource.getChild('foo').getChild('bar').getChild('baz').

However, if the resource returned by 'bar' has isLeaf set to true, then the getChild call will never be made on it.

Parameters and return value have the same meaning and requirements as those defined by IResource.getChildWithDefault.
