This library is used to get messages from flespi gateway channel and handle it via specified approach.

Getting started: This library is written using ayncio library for Python 3.5 version. To run the example script do:

1. make init: initialize local virtual environment with python3.5

2. make build: builds the project of flespi_reciever and swagger_client modules

3. make test: runs test/test.py script

1. import module

import flespi_receiver

2. initiate flespi_receiver object

receiver = flespi_receiver.flespi_receiver()

3. configure object with:

• id of a channel where to read messages
• Token key (without FlespiToken keyword) to provide access to the channel
• timeout - request will wait for new messages for the specified amount of seconds
• delete_flag - point True if successfuly handled messags may be removed
• start_key - point curr_key pointing to the beginning of messages bunch to be read

api_key = 'your_api_key'

channel_id = 0

timeout = 10

delete_flag = True

start_key = 0

receiver.configure(channel_id, api_key, timeout, delete_flag, start_key)

4. create handlers and add it to the receiver object

stdout_handler1 = flespi_receiver.stdout_handler_class(stdout=1)

receiver.add_handler(stdout_handler1)

5. start the receiving and peocessing process

receiver.start()

Concept:

receiver will generate GET /channels/channel_id/messages request returning bunch of messages from the channel

for each bunch of messages every handler will be used in an asynchronos way.

When all handlers return - next GET /messages request will be sent. So if one of the handlers will stuck - no new GET /messages requests will besent.

Available handlers:
