create(**kwargs)¶

Implement this by overriding it in a subclass of Resource

Raises:	InvalidResource

delete(**kwargs)¶

Implement this by overriding it in a subclass of Resource

Raises:	InvalidResource

get_collection(**kwargs)¶

Get an iterator of Python Resource objects that represent URIs.

The returned objects are Pythonic Resource`s that map to the most recently `refreshed state of uris-resources published by the device. In order to instantiate the correct types, the concrete subclass must populate its registry with acceptable types, based on the kind field returned by the REST server.

Note

This method implies a single REST transaction with the Collection subclass URI.

Raises:	UnregisteredKind
Returns:	list of reference dicts and Python `Resource` objects

raw¶

Display the attributes that the current object has and their values.

Returns:	A dictionary of attributes and their values

refresh(**kwargs)¶

Use this to make the device resource be represented by self.

This method makes an HTTP GET query against the device service. This method is run for its side-effects on self. If successful the instance attribute __dict__ is replaced with the dict representing the device state. To figure out what that state is, run a subsequest query of the object like this: As with all CURDLE methods use a “requests_params” dict to pass parameters to requests.session.HTTPMETHOD. See test_requests_params.py for an example. >>> resource_obj.refresh() >>> print(resource_obj.raw)

A Collection concrete subclass docstring.

create(**kwargs)¶

Implement this by overriding it in a subclass of Resource

Raises:	InvalidResource

delete(**kwargs)¶

Implement this by overriding it in a subclass of Resource

Raises:	InvalidResource

get_collection(**kwargs)¶

Get an iterator of Python Resource objects that represent URIs.

The returned objects are Pythonic Resource`s that map to the most recently `refreshed state of uris-resources published by the device. In order to instantiate the correct types, the concrete subclass must populate its registry with acceptable types, based on the kind field returned by the REST server.

Note

This method implies a single REST transaction with the Collection subclass URI.

Raises:	UnregisteredKind
Returns:	list of reference dicts and Python `Resource` objects

raw¶

Display the attributes that the current object has and their values.

Returns:	A dictionary of attributes and their values

refresh(**kwargs)¶

Use this to make the device resource be represented by self.

This method makes an HTTP GET query against the device service. This method is run for its side-effects on self. If successful the instance attribute __dict__ is replaced with the dict representing the device state. To figure out what that state is, run a subsequest query of the object like this: As with all CURDLE methods use a “requests_params” dict to pass parameters to requests.session.HTTPMETHOD. See test_requests_params.py for an example. >>> resource_obj.refresh() >>> print(resource_obj.raw)

update(**kwargs)¶

Implement this by overriding it in a subclass of Resource

Raises:	InvalidResource
