class slidcord.contact.Contact(*a, **k)

Bases: slidcord.util.StatusMixin, slidcord.util.MessageMixin, slidge.LegacyContact[int]

This class centralizes actions in relation to a specific legacy contact.

You shouldn’t create instances of contacts manually, but rather rely on LegacyRoster.by_legacy_id() to ensure that contact instances are singletons. The LegacyRoster instance of a session is accessible through the BaseSession.contacts attribute.

Typically, your plugin should have methods hook to the legacy events and call appropriate methods here to transmit the “legacy action” to the xmpp user. This should look like this:

Use carbon=True as a keyword arg for methods to represent an action FROM the user TO the contact, typically when the user uses an official client to do an action such as sending a message or marking as message as read. This will use XEP-0363 to impersonate the XMPP user in order.

Parameters:

• session – The session this contact is part of

• legacy_id – The contact’s legacy ID

• jid_username – User part of this contact’s ‘puppet’ JID. NB: case-insensitive, and some special characters are not allowed

session: slidcord.session.Session

participants: set[slidcord.group.Participant]

PROPAGATE_PRESENCE_TO_GROUPS = False

property discord_user: discord.User

Return type:

discord.User

property direct_channel_id

async update_info()

Fetch information about this contact from the legacy network

This is awaited on Contact instantiation, and should be overridden to update the nickname, avatar, vcard […] of this contact, by making “legacy API calls”.

To take advantage of the slidge avatar cache, you can check the .avatar property to retrieve the “legacy file ID” of the cached avatar. If there is no change, you should not call slidge.core.mixins.avatar.AvatarMixin.set_avatar() or attempt to modify the .avatar property.

async fetch_vcard()

It the legacy network doesn’t like that you fetch too many profiles on startup, it’s also possible to fetch it here, which will be called when XMPP clients of the user request the vcard, if it hasn’t been fetched before :return:

class slidcord.contact.Roster(session)

Bases: slidge.LegacyRoster[int, Contact]

Virtual roster of a gateway user, that allows to represent all of their contacts as singleton instances (if used properly and not too bugged).

Every BaseSession instance will have its own LegacyRoster instance accessible via the BaseSession.contacts attribute.

Typically, you will mostly use the LegacyRoster.by_legacy_id() function to retrieve a contact instance.

You might need to override LegacyRoster.legacy_id_to_jid_username() and/or LegacyRoster.jid_username_to_legacy_id() to incorporate some custom logic if you need some characters when translation JID user parts and legacy IDs.

Parameters:

session (slidge.core.session.BaseSession) –

session: slidcord.session.Session

async by_discord_user(u)

Parameters:

u (Union[discord.User, discord.Member]) –

Return type:

Contact

async jid_username_to_legacy_id(username)

Convert a JID user part to a legacy ID.

Should be overridden in case legacy IDs are not strings, or more generally for any case where the username part of a JID (unescaped with to the mapping defined by XEP-0106) is not enough to identify a contact on the legacy network.

Default implementation is an identity operation

Parameters:

• jid_username – User part of a JID, ie “user” in “user@example.com”

• username (str) –

Returns:

An identifier for the user on the legacy network.

async legacy_id_to_jid_username(discord_user_id)

Convert a legacy ID to a valid ‘user’ part of a JID

Should be overridden for cases where the str conversion of the legacy_id is not enough, e.g., if it is case-sensitive or contains forbidden characters not covered by XEP-0106.

Parameters:

• legacy_id –

• discord_user_id (int) –

Return type:

str

async fill()

Populate slidge’s “virtual roster”.

This should yield contacts that are meant to be added to the user’s roster, typically by using await self.by_legacy_id(contact_id). Setting the contact nicknames, avatar, etc. should be in LegacyContact.update_info()

It’s not mandatory to override this method, but it is recommended way to populate “friends” of the user. Calling await (await self.by_legacy_id(contact_id)).add_to_roster() accomplishes the same thing, but doing it in here allows to batch DB queries and is better performance-wise.
