CDP-Client
==========

A simple python interface for the CDP Studio development platform that allows Python scripts to interact with CDP Applications - retrieve CDP Application structures and read-write object values. For more information about CDP Studio see https://cdpstudio.com/

The API makes heavy use of promise library for asynchronous operations. For more information see https://pypi.python.org/pypi/promise

Installation
------------

::

    $ pip install cdp-client

Usage
-----

The example below shows how you subscribe to CDP signal value changes.

.. code:: python

    from cdp_client import cdp

    def on_value_changed(value, timestamp):
        print(value)
	
    def subscribe_to_value_changes(node):
        node.subscribe_to_value_changes(on_value_changed)
	
    client = cdp.Client(host='127.0.0.1')
    client.find_node('AppName.ComponentName.SignalName').then(subscribe_to_value_changes)
    client.run_event_loop()

API
---

Before all examples, you need:

.. code:: python

    from cdp_client import cdp

Global API
~~~~~~~~~~

Client(host, port, auto_reconnect, notification_listener, encryption_parameters)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Arguments

    host - String for hosts ip address

    port - Optional port number to connect to. If not specified default port 7689 is used.

    auto_reconnect - Optional argument to enable/disable automatic reconnect when connection is lost. Defaults to True if not specified.

    notification_listener - NotificationListener object whose methods are called on different connection events (e.g. when server requires credentials)

    encryption_parameters - Optional argument to set encryption and its parameters, TLS certificates verification etc. Parameter is compatible with python websocket client 'sslopt' parameter. For more information see https://pypi.org/project/websocket_client

- Returns

    The connected client object.

- Usage example

    .. code:: python

        client = cdp.Client(host='127.0.0.1')

- Usage example with password authentication

    .. code:: python

        class MyListener(cdp.NotificationListener):
            def credentials_requested(self, request):
                if request.user_auth_result().code() == cdp.AuthResultCode.CREDENTIALS_REQUIRED:
                    # Do something to gather username and password variables (either sync or async way) and then call:
                    request.accept({'Username': 'test', 'Password': '12345678'});

        client = cdp.Client(host='127.0.0.1', notification_listener=MyListener())

- Usage example with password authentication and encryption in use, without server certificate verification

    .. code:: python

        import ssl

        class MyListener(cdp.NotificationListener):
            def credentials_requested(self, request):
                if request.user_auth_result().code() == cdp.AuthResultCode.CREDENTIALS_REQUIRED:
                    # Do something to gather username and password variables (either sync or async way) and then call:
                    request.accept({'Username': 'test', 'Password': '12345678'});

        client = cdp.Client(host='127.0.0.1', notification_listener=MyListener(),
                            encryption_parameters={'use_encryption': True, 'cert_reqs': ssl.CERT_NONE})


- Usage example with password authentication and encryption in use, with server certificate verification

    .. code:: python

        import ssl

        class MyListener(cdp.NotificationListener):
            def credentials_requested(self, request):
                if request.user_auth_result().code() == cdp.AuthResultCode.CREDENTIALS_REQUIRED:
                    # Do something to gather username and password variables (either sync or async way) and then call:
                    request.accept({'Username': 'test', 'Password': '12345678'});

        client = cdp.Client(host='127.0.0.1', notification_listener=MyListener(),
                            encryption_parameters={'use_encryption': True,
                                                   'cert_reqs': ssl.CERT_REQUIRED,
                                                   'ca_certs': 'StudioAPI.crt',
                                                   'check_hostname': False},

Instance Methods / Client

client.root_node()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Gets the application Node object of the connected application.

- Returns

    Promise containing root Node object when fulfilled.

- Usage

    .. code:: python

        client.root_node().then(on_success).catch(on_error)

client.find_node(path)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Searches for the node specified by full dot separated path. **The requested node must reside in the application client was connected to. Root node is not considered part of the path.**

Notification Listener
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To handle different connection events (like prompt user to accept a system use notification message or request user to enter credentials for authentication or idle lockout re-authentication) a notification_listener parameter must be provided to the Client.
The notification_listener parameter must be a object of type class cdp.NotificationListener.

class NotificationListener
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    .. code:: python

        class NotificationListener:
            def application_acceptance_requested(self, request=AuthRequest()):
                request.accept()

            def credentials_requested(self, request=AuthRequest()):
                raise NotImplementedError("NotificationListener credentials_requested() not implemented!")

NotificationListener.application_acceptance_requested(self, request=AuthRequest())
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Called by Client when new application TLS or plain TCP connection is established.
Can be used to prompt the user a System Use Notification (a message that can be configured in CDP Studio Security settings).

- Arguments

    request - a object that has method accept() that should be called to accept the connection and a reject() to reject the connection.

- Usage

    .. code:: python

        class MyListener(cdp.NotificationListener):
            def application_acceptance_requested(self, request):
                if request.system_use_notification():
                    # Pop up a System Use Notification message and ask for confirmation to continue,
                    # then based on the user answer call either request.accept() or request.reject()
                else:
                    request.accept()

        client = cdp.Client(host='127.0.0.1', port=7689, notification_listener=MyListener())

NotificationListener.credentials_requested(self, request=AuthRequest())
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Called by Client when server is requesting credentials (authentication or idle lockout re-authentication).

- Arguments

    request - a object that has method accept(data=dict()) that should be called (with credentials) for authentication try, and also a method reject() to reject the connection.

- Usage

    .. code:: python

        class MyListener(cdp.NotificationListener):
            def credentials_requested(self, request):
                if request.user_auth_result().code() == cdp.AuthResultCode.CREDENTIALS_REQUIRED:
                    # Do something to gather username and password variables (either sync or async way) and then call:
                    request.accept({'Username': 'test', 'Password': '12345678'});
                if request.user_auth_result().code() == cdp.AuthResultCode.REAUTHENTICATIONREQUIRED:
                    # Pop user a message that idle lockout was happened and server requires new authentication to continue:
                    request.accept({'Username': 'test', 'Password': '12345678'});

        client = cdp.Client(host='127.0.0.1', port=7689, notification_listener=MyListener())
