<p>EvMenu</p>
<p>This implements a full menu system for Evennia.</p>
<p>To start the menu, just import the EvMenu class from this module.
Example usage:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">evennia.utils.evmenu</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">EvMenu</span>
<span class="n">EvMenu</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">caller</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">menu_module_path</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="n">startnode</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">&quot;node1&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="n">cmdset_mergetype</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">&quot;Replace&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">cmdset_priority</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">,</span>
<span class="n">auto_quit</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="kc">True</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">cmd_on_exit</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">&quot;look&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">persistent</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="kc">True</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Where <strong>caller</strong> is the Object to use the menu on - it will get a new
cmdset while using the Menu. The menu_module_path is the python path
to a python module containing function definitions. By adjusting the
keyword options of the Menu() initialization call you can start the
menu at different places in the menu definition file, adjust if the
menu command should overload the normal commands or not, etc.</p>
<p>The <strong>persistent</strong> keyword will make the menu survive a server reboot.
It is <strong>False</strong> by default. Note that if using persistent mode, every
node and callback in the menu must be possible to be <em>pickled</em>, this
excludes e.g. callables that are class methods or functions defined
dynamically or as part of another function. In non-persistent mode
no such restrictions exist.</p>
<p>The menu is defined in a module (this can be the same module as the
command definition too) with function definitions:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">node1</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">caller</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="c1"># (this is the start node if called like above)</span>
<span class="c1"># code</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">text</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">options</span>
<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">node_with_other_name</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">caller</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">input_string</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="c1"># code</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">text</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">options</span>
<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">another_node</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">caller</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">input_string</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="o">**</span><span class="n">kwargs</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="c1"># code</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">text</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">options</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Where caller is the object using the menu and input_string is the
command entered by the user on the <em>previous</em> node (the command
entered to get to this node). The node function code will only be
executed once per node-visit and the system will accept nodes with
both one or two arguments interchangeably. It also accepts nodes
that takes <strong>**kwargs</strong>.</p>
<p>The menu tree itself is available on the caller as
<strong>caller.ndb._evmenu</strong>. This makes it a convenient place to store
temporary state variables between nodes, since this NAttribute is
deleted when the menu is exited.</p>
<p>The return values must be given in the above order, but each can be
returned as None as well. If the options are returned as None, the
menu is immediately exited and the default “look” command is called.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><dl class="simple">
<dt><strong>text</strong> (str, tuple or None): Text shown at this node. If a tuple, the</dt><dd><p>second element in the tuple is a help text to display at this
node when the user enters the menu help command there.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</li>
<li><p><strong>options</strong> (tuple, dict or None): If <strong>None</strong>, this exits the menu.
If a single dict, this is a single-option node. If a tuple,
it should be a tuple of option dictionaries. Option dicts have the following keys:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>key</strong> (str or tuple, optional): What to enter to choose this option.
If a tuple, it must be a tuple of strings, where the first string is the
key which will be shown to the user and the others are aliases.
If unset, the options’ number will be used. The special key <strong>_default</strong>
marks this option as the default fallback when no other option matches
the user input. There can only be one <strong>_default</strong> option per node. It
will not be displayed in the list.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>desc</strong> (str, optional): This describes what choosing the option will do.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>goto</strong> (str, tuple or callable): If string, should be the name of node to go to
when this option is selected. If a callable, it has the signature
<strong>callable(caller[,raw_input][,**kwargs])</strong>. If a tuple, the first element
is the callable and the second is a dict with the <strong>**kwargs</strong> to pass to
the callable. Those kwargs will also be passed into the next node if possible.
Such a callable should return either a str or a (str, dict), where the
string is the name of the next node to go to and the dict is the new,
(possibly modified) kwarg to pass into the next node. If the callable returns
None or the empty string, the current node will be revisited.</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If <strong>key</strong> is not given, the option will automatically be identified by
its number 1..N.</p>
<p>Example:</p>

<span class="c1"># (before going to node2). If it returned a string, say &#39;node3&#39;,</span>
<span class="c1"># then the next node would be node3 instead of node2 as specified</span>
<span class="c1"># by the normal &#39;goto&#39; option key above.</span>

<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">text</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="kc">None</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>When starting this menu with <strong>Menu(caller, “path.to.menu_module”)</strong>,
the first node will look something like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">This</span> <span class="ow">is</span> <span class="n">a</span> <span class="n">node</span> <span class="n">text</span>
<span class="n">______________________________________</span>
<span class="n">testing</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">Select</span> <span class="n">this</span> <span class="n">to</span> <span class="n">go</span> <span class="n">to</span> <span class="n">node</span> <span class="mi">2</span>
<span class="mi">2</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">Go</span> <span class="n">to</span> <span class="n">node</span> <span class="mi">3</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Where you can both enter “testing” and “1” to select the first option.
If the client supports MXP, they may also mouse-click on “testing” to
do the same. When making this selection, a function “callback1” in the
same Using <strong>help</strong> will show the help text, otherwise a list of
available commands while in menu mode.</p>
<p>The menu tree is exited either by using the in-menu quit command or by
reaching a node without any options.</p>
<p>For a menu demo, import <strong>CmdTestMenu</strong> from this module and add it to
your default cmdset. Run it with this module, like <strong>testmenu evennia.utils.evmenu</strong>.</p>
<section id="menu-generation-from-template-string">
<h2>Menu generation from template string<a class="headerlink" href="#menu-generation-from-template-string" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>In evmenu.py is a helper function <strong>parse_menu_template</strong> that parses a
template-string and outputs a menu-tree dictionary suitable to pass into
EvMenu:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">menutree</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">evmenu</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">parse_menu_template</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">caller</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">menu_template</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">goto_callables</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="n">EvMenu</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">caller</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">menutree</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>For maximum flexibility you can inject normally-created nodes in the menu tree
before passing it to EvMenu. If that’s not needed, you can also create a menu
in one step with:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">evmenu</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">template2menu</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">caller</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">menu_template</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">goto_callables</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The <strong>goto_callables</strong> is a mapping <strong>{“funcname”: callable, …}</strong>, where each
callable must be a module-global function on the form
<strong>funcname(caller, raw_string, **kwargs)</strong> (like any goto-callable). The
<strong>menu_template</strong> is a multi-line string on the following form:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>## node start
This is the text of the start node.
The text area can have multiple lines, line breaks etc.
Each option below is one of these forms
key: desc -&gt; gotostr_or_func
key: gotostr_or_func
&gt;: gotostr_or_func
&gt; glob/regex: gotostr_or_func
## options
# comments are only allowed from beginning of line.
# Indenting is not necessary, but good for readability
1: Option number 1 -&gt; node1
2: Option number 2 -&gt; node2
next: This steps next -&gt; go_back()
# the -&gt; can be ignored if there is no desc
back: go_back(from_node=start)
abort: abort
## node node1
Text for Node1. Enter a message!
&lt;return&gt; to go back.
## options
# Beginner-Tutorial the option-line with &gt;
# allows to perform different actions depending on
# what is inserted.
# this catches everything starting with foo
&gt; foo*: handle_foo_message()
# regex are also allowed (this catches number inputs)
&gt; [0-9]+?: handle_numbers()
# this catches the empty return
&gt;: start
# this catches everything else
&gt; *: handle_message(from_node=node1)
## node node2
Text for Node2. Just go back.
## options
&gt;: start
## node abort
This exits the menu since there is no **## options** section.
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Each menu node is defined by a <strong># node &lt;name&gt;</strong> containing the text of the node,
followed by <strong>## options</strong> Also <strong>## NODE</strong> and <strong>## OPTIONS</strong> work. No python code
logics is allowed in the template, this code is not evaluated but parsed. More
advanced dynamic usage requires a full node-function (which can be added to the
generated dict, as said).</p>
<p>Adding <strong>(..)</strong> to a goto treats it as a callable and it must then be included in
the <strong>goto_callable</strong> mapping. Only named keywords (or no args at all) are
allowed, these will be added to the <strong>**kwargs</strong> going into the callable. Quoting
strings is only needed if wanting to pass strippable spaces, otherwise the
key:values will be converted to strings/numbers with literal_eval before passed
into the callable.</p>
<p>The &gt; option takes a glob or regex to perform different actions depending
on user input. Make sure to sort these in increasing order of generality since
they will be tested in sequence.</p>

<li><p><strong>caller</strong> (<em>Object</em><em>, </em><em>Account</em><em> or </em><a class="reference internal" href="evennia.server.session.html#evennia.server.session.Session" title="evennia.server.session.Session"><em>Session</em></a>) – The user of the menu.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>menudata</strong> (<em>str</em><em>, </em><em>module</em><em> or </em><em>dict</em>) – The full or relative path to the module
holding the menu tree data. All global functions in this module
whose name doesn’t start with ‘_ ‘ will be parsed as menu nodes.
Also the module itself is accepted as input. Finally, a dictionary
menu tree can be given directly. This must then be a mapping
<strong>{“nodekey”:callable,…}</strong> where <strong>callable</strong> must be called as
and return the data expected of a menu node. This allows for
dynamic menu creation.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>startnode</strong> (<em>str</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – The starting node name in the menufile.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>cmdset_mergetype</strong> (<em>str</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – ‘Replace’ (default) means the menu
commands will be exclusive - no other normal commands will
be usable while the user is in the menu. ‘Union’ means the
menu commands will be integrated with the existing commands
(it will merge with <strong>merge_priority</strong>), if so, make sure that
the menu’s command names don’t collide with existing commands
in an unexpected way. Also the CMD_NOMATCH and CMD_NOINPUT will
be overloaded by the menu cmdset. Other cmdser mergetypes
has little purpose for the menu.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>cmdset_priority</strong> (<em>int</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – The merge priority for the
menu command set. The default (1) is usually enough for most
types of menus.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>auto_quit</strong> (<em>bool</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – Allow user to use “q”, “quit” or
“exit” to leave the menu at any point. Recommended during
development!</p></li>
<li><p><strong>auto_look</strong> (<em>bool</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – Automatically make “looK” or “l” to
re-show the last node. Turning this off means you have to handle
re-showing nodes yourself, but may be useful if you need to
use “l” for some other purpose.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>auto_help</strong> (<em>bool</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – Automatically make “help” or “h” show
the current help entry for the node. If turned off, eventual
help must be handled manually, but it may be useful if you
need ‘h’ for some other purpose, for example.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>cmd_on_exit</strong> (<em>callable</em><em>, </em><em>str</em><em> or </em><em>None</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – When exiting the menu
(either by reaching a node with no options or by using the
in-built quit command (activated with <strong>allow_quit</strong>), this
callback function or command string will be executed.
The callback function takes two parameters, the caller then the
EvMenu object. This is called after cleanup is complete.
Set to None to not call any command.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>persistent</strong> (<em>bool</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – Make the Menu persistent (i.e. it will
survive a reload. This will make the Menu cmdset persistent. Use
with caution - if your menu is buggy you may end up in a state
you can’t get out of! Also note that persistent mode requires
that all formatters, menu nodes and callables are possible to
<em>pickle</em>. When the server is reloaded, the latest node shown will be completely
re-run with the same input arguments - so be careful if you are counting
up some persistent counter or similar - the counter may be run twice if
reload happens on the node that does that. Note that if <strong>debug</strong> is True,
this setting is ignored and assumed to be False.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>startnode_input</strong> (<em>str</em><em> or </em><em>(</em><em>str</em><em>, </em><em>dict</em><em>)</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – Send an input text to <strong>startnode</strong> as if
a user input text from a fictional previous node. If including the dict, this will
be passed as <strong>kwargs to that node. When the server reloads,
the latest visited node will be re-run as **node(caller, raw_string, **kwargs)</strong>.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>session</strong> (<a class="reference internal" href="evennia.server.session.html#evennia.server.session.Session" title="evennia.server.session.Session"><em>Session</em></a><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – This is useful when calling EvMenu from an account
in multisession mode &gt; 2. Note that this session only really relevant
for the very first display of the first node - after that, EvMenu itself
will keep the session updated from the command input. So a persistent
menu will <em>not</em> be using this same session anymore after a reload.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>debug</strong> (<em>bool</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – If set, the ‘menudebug’ command will be made available
by default in all nodes of the menu. This will print out the current state of
the menu. Deactivate for production use! When the debug flag is active, the
<strong>persistent</strong> flag is deactivated.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>**kwargs</strong> – All kwargs will become initialization variables on <strong>caller.ndb._menutree</strong>,
to be available at run.</p></li>

<p class="rubric">Notes</p>
<p>While running, the menu is stored on the caller as <strong>caller.ndb._evmenu</strong>. Also
the current Session (from the Command, so this is still valid in multisession
environments) is available through <strong>caller.ndb._evmenu._session</strong>. The <strong>_evmenu</strong>
property is a good one for storing intermediary data on between nodes since it
will be automatically deleted when the menu closes.</p>
<p>In persistent mode, all nodes, formatters and callbacks in the menu must be
possible to be <em>pickled</em>, this excludes e.g. callables that are class methods
or functions defined dynamically or as part of another function. In
non-persistent mode no such restrictions exist.</p>

<dd class="field-odd"><ul class="simple">
<li><p><strong>caller</strong> (<em>Account</em><em> or </em><em>Object</em>) – The entity being asked the question. This
should usually be an object controlled by a user.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>prompt</strong> (<em>str</em>) – This text will be shown to the user, in order to let them
know their input is needed.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>callback</strong> (<em>callable</em>) – A function that will be called
when the user enters a reply. It must take three arguments: the
<strong>caller</strong>, the <strong>prompt</strong> text and the <strong>result</strong> of the input given by
the user. If the callback doesn’t return anything or return False,
the input prompt will be cleaned up and exited. If returning True,
the prompt will remain and continue to accept input.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>session</strong> (<a class="reference internal" href="evennia.server.session.html#evennia.server.session.Session" title="evennia.server.session.Session"><em>Session</em></a><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – This allows to specify the
session to send the prompt to. It’s usually only needed if <strong>caller</strong>
is an Account in multisession modes greater than 2. The session is
then updated by the command and is available (for example in
callbacks) through <strong>caller.ndb.getinput._session</strong>.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>*args</strong> (<em>any</em>) – Extra arguments to pass to <strong>callback</strong>. To utilise <strong>*args</strong>
(and <strong>**kwargs</strong>), a value for the <strong>session</strong> argument must also be
provided.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>**kwargs</strong> (<em>any</em>) – Extra kwargs to pass to <strong>callback</strong>.</p></li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt class="field-even">Raises</dt>
<dd class="field-even"><p><strong>RuntimeError</strong> – If the given callback is not callable.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p class="rubric">Notes</p>
<p>The result value sent to the callback is raw and not processed in any
way. This means that you will get the ending line return character from
most types of client inputs. So make sure to strip that before doing a
comparison.</p>
<p>When the prompt is running, a temporary object <strong>caller.ndb._getinput</strong>
is stored; this will be removed when the prompt finishes.</p>
<p>If you need the specific Session of the caller (which may not be easy
to get if caller is an account in higher multisession modes), then it
is available in the callback through <strong>caller.ndb._getinput._session</strong>.
This is why the <strong>session</strong> is required as input.</p>
<p>It’s not recommended to ‘chain’ <strong>get_input</strong> into a sequence of
questions. This will result in the caller stacking ever more instances
of InputCmdSets. While they will all be cleared on concluding the
get_input chain, EvMenu should be considered for anything beyond a
single question.</p>

the system to pause and wait for input from the player.</p>
<dl class="field-list simple">
<dt class="field-odd">Parameters</dt>
<dd class="field-odd"><ul class="simple">
<li><p><strong>caller</strong> (<em>Object</em>) – The entity being asked.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>prompt</strong> (<em>str</em>) – The yes/no question to ask. This takes an optional formatting
marker <strong>{options}</strong> which will be filled with ‘Y/N’, ‘[Y]/N’ or
‘Y/[N]’ depending on the setting of <strong>default</strong>. If <strong>allow_abort</strong> is set,
then the ‘A(bort)’ option will also be available.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>yes_action</strong> (<em>callable</em><em> or </em><em>str</em>) – If a callable, this will be called
with <strong>(caller, *args, **kwargs)</strong> when the Yes-choice is made.
If a string, this string will be echoed back to the caller.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>no_action</strong> (<em>callable</em><em> or </em><em>str</em>) – If a callable, this will be called
with <strong>(caller, *args, **kwargs)</strong> when the No-choice is made.
If a string, this string will be echoed back to the caller.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>default</strong> (<em>str optional</em>) – This is what the user will get if they just press the
return key without giving any input. One of ‘N’, ‘Y’, ‘A’ or <strong>None</strong>
for no default (an explicit choice must be given). If ‘A’ (abort)
is given, <strong>allow_abort</strong> kwarg is ignored and assumed set.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>allow_abort</strong> (<em>bool</em><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – If set, the ‘A(bort)’ option is available
(a third option meaning neither yes or no but just exits the prompt).</p></li>
<li><p><strong>session</strong> (<a class="reference internal" href="evennia.server.session.html#evennia.server.session.Session" title="evennia.server.session.Session"><em>Session</em></a><em>, </em><em>optional</em>) – This allows to specify the
session to send the prompt to. It’s usually only needed if <strong>caller</strong>
is an Account in multisession modes greater than 2. The session is
then updated by the command and is available (for example in
callbacks) through <strong>caller.ndb._yes_no_question.session</strong>.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>*args</strong> – Additional arguments passed on into callables.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>**kwargs</strong> – Additional keyword args passed on into callables.</p></li>
