anibridge-list-base 0.2.0b5

List provider base classes for the AniBridge project.

anibridge-list-base

anibridge-list-base provides base classes and utilities to implement and register media list providers for the AniBridge project.

[!IMPORTANT] This package is intended for developers building AniBridge list providers. If you're looking to use AniBridge as an end user, please refer to the AniBridge documentation.

Installation

pip install anibridge-list-base
# pip install git+https://github.com/anibridge/anibridge-list-base.git

API reference

The library exposes concrete base classes in anibridge.list.base and registration helpers in anibridge.list.registry.

To get some more context, explore the anibridge.list.base module's source code and docstrings.

• ListProvider (base class)

  • Key methods and hooks:
    • async backup_list() -> str: Optional backup hook returning a string representation of the user's list that can be restored later via restore_list().
    • async clear_cache() -> None: Optional cache clearing hook that AniBridge will occasionally run to free up memory and prevent stale data.
    • async close() -> None: Optional cleanup hook called when the provider is shut down or reloaded.
    • async delete_entry(key: str) -> None: Delete a list entry.
    • async derive_keys(descriptors: Sequence[MappingDescriptor]) -> set[str]: Derive mapping descriptors into a set of keys the provider understands.
    • async get_entries_batch(keys: Sequence[str]) -> Sequence[ListEntry | None]: Optional batch helper to fetch multiple entries at once.
    • async get_entry(key: str) -> ListEntry | None: Fetch a user's list entry; return None if not present.
    • async initialize() -> None: Optional async initialization called once after construction. Perform network I/O, authentication, or pre-fetching here.
    • resolve_mappings(mapping: MappingGraph, *, scope: str | None) -> MappingDescriptor | None: Resolve a media identifier from a mapping graph to a provider descriptor. If scope is provided, prefer descriptors matching that scope.
    • async restore_list(backup: str) -> None: Optional backup restore hook. If a provider does not support backups, restore_list() raises NotImplementedError.
    • async search(query: str) -> Sequence[ListEntry]: Optional search helper returning matching entries.
    • async update_entries_batch(entries: Sequence[ListEntry]) -> Sequence[ListEntry | None]: Optional batch helper to update multiple entries at once.
    • async update_entry(key: str, entry: ListEntry) -> ListEntry | None: Update an entry; return the updated entry or None on failure.

• ListEntry, ListMedia, ListUser (base classes)

  • ListEntry stores and exposes properties and setters for progress, repeats, review, status (ListStatus), user_rating, started_at, finished_at, and total_units, plus a media() method returning the associated ListMedia.
  • ListMedia stores media_type (ListMediaType), optional labels, poster_image, external_url, and total_units.
  • ListUser is an immutable dataclass with key and title.
  • user_rating is a 0–100 integer scale (providers may document their own mapping).

• ListStatus (StrEnum)

  • Enum of common list statuses: COMPLETED, CURRENT, DROPPED, PAUSED, PLANNING, REPEATING.
  • Includes ordering semantics via priority for comparison.

• ListProviderRegistry and list_provider decorator

  • ListProviderRegistry is a simple registry that maps namespace strings to provider classes. Use create(namespace, *, config=None) to instantiate a provider or get(namespace) to access the class.
  • list_provider is a decorator helper that registers a provider with the module-level provider_registry by default.

Examples
