class documentation

`class ResourceScriptDirectory(resource.Resource): (source)`

View In Hierarchy

`ResourceScriptDirectory` is a resource which serves scripts from a filesystem directory. File children of a `ResourceScriptDirectory` will be served using `ResourceScript`. Directory children will be served using another `ResourceScriptDirectory`.

Method | `__init__` | Initialize.
Method | `getChild` | Retrieve a 'child' resource from me.
Method | `render` | Render a given resource. See `IResource`'s render method.
Instance Variable | `path` | A `str` giving the filesystem path in which children will be looked up.
Instance Variable | `registry` | A `static.Registry` instance which will be used to decide how to interpret scripts found as children of this resource.

def __init__(self, pathname, registry=None): (source)
overrides `twisted.web.resource.Resource.__init__`
Initialize.
def getChild(self, path, request): (source)
overrides `twisted.web.resource.Resource.getChild`

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`.

def render(self, request): (source)
from `twisted.web.resource.IResource`
overrides `twisted.web.resource.Resource.render`

Render a given resource. See `IResource`'s render method.

I delegate to methods of self with the form 'render_METHOD' where METHOD is the HTTP that was used to make the request. Examples: render_GET, render_HEAD, render_POST, and so on. Generally you should implement those methods instead of overriding this one.

render_METHOD methods are expected to return a byte string which will be the rendered page, unless the return value is `server.NOT_DONE_YET`, in which case it is this class's responsibility to write the results using `request.write(data)` and then call `request.finish()`.

Old code that overrides render() directly is likewise expected to return a byte string or NOT_DONE_YET.
