interface documentation

A web resource.

Method getChildWithDefault Return a child with the given name for the given request. This is the external interface used by the Resource publishing machinery. If implementing IResource without subclassing Resource, it must be provided...
Method putChild Put a child IResource implementor at the given path.
Method render Render a request. This is called on the leaf resource for a request.
Attribute isLeaf Signal if this IResource implementor is a "leaf node" or not. If True, getChildWithDefault will not be called on this Resource.
def getChildWithDefault(name, request): (source)

Return a child with the given name for the given request. This is the external interface used by the Resource publishing machinery. If implementing IResource without subclassing Resource, it must be provided. However, if subclassing Resource, getChild overridden instead.

Parameters
name:bytesA single path component from a requested URL. For example, a request for http://example.com/foo/bar will result in calls to this method with b"foo" and b"bar" as values for this argument.
request:twisted.web.server.RequestA representation of all of the information about the request that is being made for this child.
def putChild(path: bytes, child: IResource): (source)

Put a child IResource implementor at the given path.

Parameters
path:bytes

A single path component, to be interpreted relative to the path this resource is found at, at which to put the given child. For example, if resource A can be found at http://example.com/foo then a call like A.putChild(b"bar", B) will make resource B available at http://example.com/foo/bar.

The path component is not URL-encoded -- pass b'foo bar' rather than b'foo%20bar'.

child:IResourceUndocumented
def render(request): (source)

Render a request. This is called on the leaf resource for a request.

Returns
Either server.NOT_DONE_YET to indicate an asynchronous or a bytes instance to write as the response to the request. If NOT_DONE_YET is returned, at some point later (for example, in a Deferred callback) call request.write(b"<html>") to write data to the request, and request.finish() to send the data to the browser.
Raises
twisted.web.error.UnsupportedMethodIf the HTTP verb requested is not supported by this resource.

Signal if this IResource implementor is a "leaf node" or not. If True, getChildWithDefault will not be called on this Resource.
