Using the Interface

Given an external.system singleton called external_system, you would do the following to get the underlying system client:

with external_system.client() as client:
    client.do_something()

The client will be destroyed once the context has completed. Destruction takes place in the adapter’s external_destroy_client method.

The only unified aspect of this interface is the client connection itself. Other more opinionated interface/adapter mechanisms can be implemented in other modules, such as the file system interface in OCA/server-tools/external_file_location.

Creating an Adapter

Modules looking to add an external system adapter should inherit the external.system.adapter model and override the following methods:

• external_get_client: Returns a usable client for the system

• external_destroy_client: Destroy the connection, if applicable. Does not need to be defined if the connection destroys itself.
