Components - ChrisLR 2022

This file contains the base class to inherit for creating new components.

class evennia.contrib.base_systems.components.component.BaseComponent(*args)

Bases: type

This is the metaclass for components, responsible for registering components to the listing.

class evennia.contrib.base_systems.components.component.Component(host=None)

Bases: object

This is the base class for components. Any component must inherit from this class to be considered for usage.

Each Component must supply the name, it is used as a slot name but also part of the attribute key.

name = ''

slot = None

__init__(host=None)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

host

classmethod default_create(host)

This is called when the host is created

and should return the base initialized state of a component.

Parameters

host (object) – The host typeclass instance

Returns

Component – The created instance of the component

classmethod create(host, **kwargs)

This is the method to call when supplying kwargs to initialize a component.

Parameters

• host (object) – The host typeclass instance

• **kwargs – Key-Value of default values to replace. To persist the value, the key must correspond to a DBField.

Returns

Component – The created instance of the component

cleanup()

This deletes all component attributes from the host’s db

classmethod load(host)

Loads a component instance

This is called whenever a component is loaded (ex: Server Restart)

Parameters

host (object) – The host typeclass instance

Returns

Component – The loaded instance of the component

at_added(host)

This is the method called when a component is registered on a host.

Parameters

host (object) – The host typeclass instance

at_removed(host)

This is the method called when a component is removed from a host.

Parameters

host (object) – The host typeclass instance

property attributes

Shortcut property returning the host’s AttributeHandler.

Returns

AttributeHandler – The Host’s AttributeHandler

property pk

Shortcut property returning the host’s primary key.

Returns

int – The Host’s primary key.

Notes

This is requried to allow AttributeProperties to correctly update _SaverMutable data (like lists) in-place (since the DBField sits on the Component which doesn’t itself have a primary key, this save operation would otherwise fail).

property nattributes

Shortcut property returning the host’s In-Memory AttributeHandler (Non Persisted).

Returns

AttributeHandler – The Host’s In-Memory AttributeHandler

classmethod add_field(name, field)

classmethod get_fields()

classmethod get_component_slot()
