Nextcloud Python Framework

Nextcloud Python Framework

Python library that provides a robust and well-documented API that allows developers to interact with and extend Nextcloud's functionality.

The key features are:

• Fast: High performance, and as low-latency as possible.
• Intuitive: Fast to code, easy to use.
• Reliable: Minimum number of incompatible changes.
• Robust: All code is covered with tests as much as possible.
• Easy: Designed to be easy to use with excellent documentation.
• Sync + Async: Provides both sync and async APIs.

Differences between the Nextcloud and NextcloudApp classes

The Nextcloud class functions as a standard Nextcloud client, enabling you to make API requests using a username and password.

On the other hand, the NextcloudApp class is designed for creating applications for Nextcloud.
It uses AppAPI to provide additional functionality allowing applications have their own graphical interface, fulfill requests from different users, and everything else that is necessary to implement full-fledged applications.

Both classes offer most of the same APIs, but NextcloudApp has a broader selection since applications typically require access to more APIs.

Any code written for the Nextcloud class can easily be adapted for use with the NextcloudApp class, as long as it doesn't involve calls that require user password verification.

Nextcloud skeleton app in Python

from contextlib import asynccontextmanager

from fastapi import FastAPI

from nc_py_api import NextcloudApp
from nc_py_api.ex_app import AppAPIAuthMiddleware, LogLvl, run_app, set_handlers


@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
    set_handlers(app, enabled_handler)
    yield


APP = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)
APP.add_middleware(AppAPIAuthMiddleware)


def enabled_handler(enabled: bool, nc: NextcloudApp) -> str:
    if enabled:
        nc.log(LogLvl.WARNING, "Hello from nc_py_api.")
    else:
        nc.log(LogLvl.WARNING, "Bye bye from nc_py_api.")
    return ""


if __name__ == "__main__":
    run_app("main:APP", log_level="trace")
