hikari.impl.event_manager_base#

A base implementation for an event manager.

EventManagerBase #

EventManagerBase(event_factory: EventFactory, intents: Intents, *, cache_components: CacheComponents = config.CacheComponents.NONE)

Bases: EventManager

Provides functionality to consume and dispatch events.

Specific event handlers should be in functions named on_xxx where xxx is the raw event name being dispatched in lower-case.

consume_raw_event #

consume_raw_event(event_name: str, shard: GatewayShard, payload: JSONObject) -> None

Consume a raw event.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
event_name

The case-insensitive name of the event being triggered.

TYPE: str

shard

Object of the shard that received this event.

TYPE: GatewayShard

payload

Payload of the event being triggered.

TYPE: JSONObject

RAISES DESCRIPTION
LookupError

If there is no consumer for the event.

dispatch #

dispatch(event: Event) -> Future[Any]

Dispatch an event.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
event

The event to dispatch.

TYPE: Event

Examples:

We can dispatch custom events by first defining a class that derives from hikari.events.base_events.Event.

import attrs

from hikari.traits import RESTAware
from hikari.events.base_events import Event
from hikari.users import User
from hikari.snowflakes import Snowflake


@attrs.define()
class EveryoneMentionedEvent(Event):
    app: RESTAware = attrs.field()

    author: User = attrs.field()
    '''The user who mentioned everyone.'''

    content: str = attrs.field()
    '''The message that was sent.'''

    message_id: Snowflake = attrs.field()
    '''The message ID.'''

    channel_id: Snowflake = attrs.field()
    '''The channel ID.'''

We can then dispatch our event as we see fit.

from hikari.events.messages import MessageCreateEvent


@bot.listen(MessageCreateEvent)
async def on_message(event):
    if "@everyone" in event.content or "@here" in event.content:
        event = EveryoneMentionedEvent(
            author=event.author,
            content=event.content,
            message_id=event.id,
            channel_id=event.channel_id,
        )

        bot.dispatch(event)

This event can be listened to elsewhere by subscribing to it with hikari.api.event_manager.EventManager.subscribe.

@bot.listen(EveryoneMentionedEvent)
async def on_everyone_mentioned(event):
    print(event.user, "just pinged everyone in", event.channel_id)
RETURNS DESCRIPTION
Future[Any]

A future that can be optionally awaited. If awaited, the future will complete once all corresponding event listeners have been invoked. If not awaited, this will schedule the dispatch of the events in the background for later.

get_listeners #

get_listeners(event_type: type[EventT], /, *, polymorphic: bool = True) -> Collection[CallbackT[EventT]]

Get the listeners for a given event type, if there are any.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
event_type

The event type to look for. T must be a subclass of hikari.events.base_events.Event.

TYPE: type[EventT]

polymorphic

If True, this will also return the listeners for all the event types event_type will dispatch. If False, then only listeners for this class specifically are returned. The default is True.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

RETURNS DESCRIPTION
Collection[Callable[[T], Coroutine[Any, Any, None]]]

A copy of the collection of listeners for the event. Will return an empty collection if nothing is registered.

listen #

listen(*event_types: type[EventT]) -> Callable[[CallbackT[EventT]], CallbackT[EventT]]

Generate a decorator to subscribe a callback to an event type.

This is a second-order decorator.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
*event_types

The event types to subscribe to. The implementation may allow this to be undefined. If this is the case, the event type will be inferred instead from the type hints on the function signature. T must be a subclass of hikari.events.base_events.Event.

TYPE: type[EventT] DEFAULT: ()

RETURNS DESCRIPTION
Callable[[T], T]

A decorator for a coroutine function that passes it to hikari.api.event_manager.EventManager.subscribe before returning the function reference.

stream #

stream(event_type: type[EventT], /, timeout: Union[float, int, None], limit: Optional[int] = None) -> EventStream[EventT]

Return a stream iterator for the given event and sub-events.

Warning

If you use [await stream.open()][] to start the stream then you must also close it with [await stream.close()][] otherwise it may queue events in memory indefinitely.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
event_type

The event type to listen for. This will listen for subclasses of this type additionally.

TYPE: type[EventT]

timeout

How long this streamer should wait for the next event before ending the iteration. If None then this will continue until explicitly broken from.

TYPE: Union[float, int, None]

limit

The limit for how many events this should queue at one time before dropping extra incoming events, leave this as None for the cache size to be unlimited.

TYPE: Optional[int] DEFAULT: None

RETURNS DESCRIPTION
EventStream[Event]

The async iterator to handle streamed events. This must be started with with stream: or stream.open before asynchronously iterating over it.

Examples:

with bot.stream(events.ReactionAddEvent, timeout=30).filter(
    ("message_id", message.id)
) as stream:
    async for user_id in stream.map("user_id").limit(50):
        ...

or using open() and close()

stream = bot.stream(events.ReactionAddEvent, timeout=30).filter(("message_id", message.id))
stream.open()

async for user_id in stream.map("user_id").limit(50)
    ...

stream.close()

subscribe #

subscribe(event_type: type[Any], callback: CallbackT[Any], *, _nested: int = 0) -> None

Subscribe a given callback to a given event type.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
event_type

The event type to listen for. This will also listen for any subclasses of the given type. T must be a subclass of hikari.events.base_events.Event.

TYPE: type[Any]

callback

Must be a coroutine function to invoke. This should consume an instance of the given event, or an instance of a valid subclass if one exists. Any result is discarded.

TYPE: CallbackT[Any]

Examples:

The following demonstrates subscribing a callback to message creation events.

from hikari.events.messages import MessageCreateEvent


async def on_message(event): ...


bot.subscribe(MessageCreateEvent, on_message)

unsubscribe #

unsubscribe(event_type: type[Any], callback: CallbackT[Any]) -> None

Unsubscribe a given callback from a given event type, if present.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
event_type

The event type to unsubscribe from. This must be the same exact type as was originally subscribed with to be removed correctly. T must derive from hikari.events.base_events.Event.

TYPE: type[Any]

callback

The callback to unsubscribe.

TYPE: CallbackT[Any]

Examples:

The following demonstrates unsubscribing a callback from a message creation event.

from hikari.events.messages import MessageCreateEvent


async def on_message(event): ...


bot.unsubscribe(MessageCreateEvent, on_message)

wait_for async #

wait_for(event_type: type[EventT], /, timeout: Union[float, int, None], predicate: Optional[PredicateT[EventT]] = None) -> EventT

Wait for a given event to occur once, then return the event.

Warning

Async predicates are not supported.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
event_type

The event type to listen for. This will listen for subclasses of this type additionally.

TYPE: type[EventT]

predicate

A function taking the event as the single parameter. This should return True if the event is one you want to return, or False if the event should not be returned. If left as None (the default), then the first matching event type that the bot receives (or any subtype) will be the one returned.

TYPE: Optional[PredicateT[EventT]] DEFAULT: None

timeout

The amount of time to wait before raising an asyncio.TimeoutError and giving up instead. This is measured in seconds. If None, then no timeout will be waited for (no timeout can result in "leaking" of coroutines that never complete if called in an uncontrolled way, so is not recommended).

TYPE: Union[float, int, None]

RETURNS DESCRIPTION
Event

The event that was provided.

RAISES DESCRIPTION
TimeoutError

If the timeout is not None and is reached before an event is received that the predicate returns True for.

EventStream #

EventStream(event_manager: EventManager, event_type: type[EventT], *, timeout: Union[float, int, None], limit: Optional[int] = None)

Bases: EventStream[EventT]

An implementation of an event hikari.api.event_manager.EventStream class.

Note

While calling hikari.impl.event_manager_base.EventStream.filter on an active "opened" event stream will return a wrapping lazy iterator, calling it on an inactive "closed" event stream will return the event stream and add the given predicates to the streamer.

close #

close() -> None

Mark this streamer as closed to stop it from queueing and receiving events.

If called on an already closed streamer then this will do nothing.

Note

[with streamer][] may be used as a short-cut for opening and closing a streamer.

filter #

filter(*predicates: Union[tuple[str, Any], Callable[[EventT], bool]], **attrs: Any) -> Self

Filter the items by one or more conditions.

Each condition is treated as a predicate, being called with each item that this iterator would return when it is requested.

All conditions must evaluate to True for the item to be returned. If this is not met, then the item is discarded and ignored, the next matching item will be returned instead, if there is one.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
*predicates

Predicates to invoke. These are functions that take a value and return True if it is of interest, or False otherwise. These may instead include 2-tuple objects consisting of a str attribute name (nested attributes are referred to using the . operator), and values to compare for equality. This allows you to specify conditions such as members.filter(("user.bot", True)).

TYPE: Union[tuple[str, Any], Callable[[EventT], bool]] DEFAULT: ()

**attrs

Alternative to passing 2-tuples. Cannot specify nested attributes using this method.

TYPE: Any DEFAULT: {}

RETURNS DESCRIPTION
EventStream[ValueT]

The current stream with the new filter applied.

open #

open() -> None

Mark this streamer as opened to let it start receiving and queueing events.

If called on an already started streamer then this will do nothing.

Note

[with streamer][] may be used as a short-cut for opening and closing a stream.

filtered #

filtered(event_types: Union[type[Event], Sequence[type[Event]]], cache_components: CacheComponents = config.CacheComponents.NONE) -> Callable[[_UnboundMethodT[_EventManagerBaseT]], _UnboundMethodT[_EventManagerBaseT]]

Add metadata to a consumer method to indicate when it should be unmarshalled and dispatched.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
event_types

Types of the events this raw consumer method may dispatch. This may either be a singular type of a sequence of types.

TYPE: Union[type[Event], Sequence[type[Event]]]

cache_components

Bitfield of the cache components this event may make altering calls to.

TYPE: CacheComponents DEFAULT: NONE
