Templates Datasource
template storage management
The storage manager handles only 2 tasks:
- Get a template by stage name
- Get all defined triggers
By implementing this class, it gives you option to define your own template storage source.
WCE comes with default StorageManager implementation out-of-the-box
It comes with YAML templates support by default.
Manager interface signature
Below is the interface you can implement to define your own custom template source.
class IStorageManager(ABC):
"""Abstract base class for different templates storage sources."""
@abstractmethod
def load_templates(self) -> None:
"""(Optional) Load chatbot templates."""
pass
@abstractmethod
def load_triggers(self) -> None:
"""(Optional) Load chatbot triggers."""
pass
@abstractmethod
def exists(self, name: str) -> bool:
"""Check if a template stage exists."""
pass
@abstractmethod
def triggers(self) -> List[EngineRoute]:
"""Get all triggers"""
pass
@abstractmethod
def get(self, name: str) -> EngineTemplate:
"""Load a single template by its name (stage)"""
pass
You wont necessarily interact with this manager implementation as it is used heavily internally by the engine.
