API Plugin Broker

class smarter.apps.plugin.manifest.brokers.api_plugin.SAMApiPluginBroker(*args, **kwargs)

Broker for Smarter API Plugin Manifests.

This class is responsible for loading, validating, and parsing Smarter API YAML plugin manifests, and for initializing the corresponding Pydantic model. It provides generic services for API plugins, such as instantiation, creation, update, and deletion.

Responsibilities:

• Load and validate API plugin manifests.

• Parse manifest data into a structured Pydantic model (SAMApiPlugin).

• Provide access to plugin metadata, status, and specification.

• Manage plugin lifecycle operations (create, update, delete, etc.).

Example Usage:

broker = SAMApiPluginBroker(manifest=my_manifest)
plugin = broker.plugin
if plugin.ready:
    plugin.create()
    plugin.save()

Parameters:

Parameters:

manifest (Optional[SAMApiPlugin]) – Optional; a SAMApiPlugin Pydantic model instance representing the plugin manifest.

Note

If the manifest kind does not match the expected plugin kind, or if required fields are missing, the broker may raise a SAMPluginBrokerError or related exception.

property ORMMetaModelClass: Type[PluginMeta]

Return the Django ORM meta model class for the broker.

Returns:

The Django ORM meta model class definition for the broker.

Return type:

Type[PluginMeta]

property ORMModelClass: Type[PluginDataApi]

Return the Django ORM model class for the broker.

Returns:

The Django ORM model class definition for the broker.

Return type:

Type[PluginDataApi]

property SAMModelClass: Type[SAMApiPlugin]

Return the Pydantic model class for the broker.

Returns:

The Pydantic model class definition for the broker.

Return type:

Type[SAMApiPlugin]

property SerializerClass: Type[PluginSerializer]

Returns the serializer class for the broker.

This property provides the serializer class definition used by the broker for serializing and deserializing plugin data. It returns the PluginSerializer class, which is specifically designed to handle static plugin data serialization.

Returns:

The serializer class definition for the broker.

Return type:

Type[PluginSerializer]

Example:

broker = SAMStaticPluginBroker()
serializer_class = broker.SerializerClass
print(serializer_class.__name__)
# Output: "PluginSerializer"

• PluginSerializer for static plugin data serialization.

__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Initialize the SAMApiPluginBroker instance.

This constructor initializes the broker by calling the parent class’s constructor, which will attempt to bootstrap the class instance with any combination of raw manifest data (in JSON or YAML format), a manifest loader, or existing Django ORM models. If a manifest loader is provided and its kind matches the expected kind for this broker, the manifest is initialized using the loader’s data.

This class can bootstrap itself in any of the following ways:

• request.body (yaml or json string)

• name + account (determined via authentication of the request object)

• SAMLoader instance

• manifest instance

• filepath to a manifest file

If raw manifest data is provided, whether as a string or a dictionary, or a SAMLoader instance, the base class constructor will only goes as far as initializing the loader. The actual manifest model initialization is deferred to this constructor, which checks the loader’s kind.

Parameters:

• args – Positional arguments passed to the parent constructor.

• kwargs – Keyword arguments passed to the parent constructor.

Example:

broker = SAMApiPluginBroker(loader=loader, plugin_meta=plugin_meta)

Set the manifest for the broker and override all AbstractBroker model properties based on the manifest data.

Parameters:

value (Optional[Union[AbstractSAMBase, dict]]) – The manifest to set, either as a Pydantic model or a dictionary.

manifest_to_django_orm()

Convert the Smarter API manifest metadata into a dictionary suitable for creating or updating a Django ORM ChatBot model.

This method extracts all relevant metadata from the loaded manifest and transforms it into a dictionary format compatible with Django ORM operations. The manifest’s configuration is first dumped and converted from camelCase to snake_case to match Django’s field naming conventions.

The resulting dictionary includes the account, name, description, and version fields from the manifest metadata. This dictionary is intended to be used to supplement the model spec when instantiating or updating a ChatBot ORM model instance in the database.

If the manifest is not loaded or is invalid, an exception is raised to indicate that the broker is not ready to perform the transformation.

Returns:

A dictionary containing all metadata fields required to create or update a Django ORM ChatBot model.

Return type:

dict

Raises:

• SAMBrokerErrorNotReady – If the manifest is not loaded or cannot be found.

• SAMChatbotBrokerError – If the manifest metadata cannot be converted to a dictionary.

mask_string(string='', mask_char='*', mask_length=4, string_length=8)

Masks a string for secure logging.

Parameters:

• string (str) – The string to be masked.

• mask_char (str) – The character used for masking.

• mask_length (int) – The number of characters to mask.

• string_length (int) – The length of the string to consider for masking.

Returns:

The masked string.

Return type:

str

property name: str | None

Retrieve the unique name identifier for the ChatBot instance managed by this broker.

This property accesses the name used to distinguish the ChatBot within the database and across the Smarter platform. The name is first returned from an internal cache if available. If not cached, and if a manifest is present, the name is extracted from the manifest’s metadata and stored for subsequent access.

The name is essential for database queries, model lookups, and for associating related resources such as API keys, plugins, and functions with the correct ChatBot instance.

Returns:

The name of the ChatBot as a string, or None if the name is not set or cannot be determined.

Return type:

Optional[str]

Note

The name property is a critical identifier used throughout the broker to ensure correct mapping between manifest data and persistent application state.

name_cached_property_setter(value)

A workaround to the limitation that you cannot use both @cached_property and a setter for the same attribute name (name). In Python, you cannot have a property (or cached_property) and a setter with the same name unless you use the @property decorator (not @cached_property).

We need the cached_property so that the lazy evaluation of the name only happens once, and subsequent accesses return the cached value for performance. However, we also need to be able to set the name explicitly in some cases,

Parameters:

value (str) – The name to set for the manifest.

This method attempts to initialize the ORM metadata by querying the ORMMetaModelClass using the broker’s name and user_profile. If the ORM metadata is successfully retrieved, it is stored in the orm_meta_instance attribute. If the ORM metadata does not exist or an error occurs, the _orm_instance attribute is set to None.

Return type:

None

Returns:

None

• Leading and trailing hyphens are stripped.

• The result is truncated to 63 characters if necessary.

Warning

This function is intended for generating DNS-safe names. It does not guarantee uniqueness or suitability for all RFC 1034 use cases.

Example usage:

from smarter.common.utils import rfc1034_compliant_str

# Basic usage
print(rfc1034_compliant_str("My_ChatBot_2025"))  # Output: my-chatbot-2025

# With special characters
print(rfc1034_compliant_str("My@Bot!_Name"))  # Output: my-bot-name

SmarterValueError – If the input is not a string.

Note

• Only hyphens are replaced; other characters are preserved.

• The function does not validate that the input is strictly RFC 1034-compliant. It assumes the input is already sanitized.

Warning

This function does not handle conversion of other non-alphanumeric characters. If the input contains characters other than hyphens, underscores, letters, or numbers, they will remain unchanged.

Example usage:

from smarter.common.utils import rfc1034_compliant_to_snake

# Basic conversion
print(rfc1034_compliant_to_snake("my-chatbot-2025"))
# Output: my_chatbot_2025

# Input with no hyphens
print(rfc1034_compliant_to_snake("simplelabel"))
# Output: simplelabel

# Input with multiple hyphens
print(rfc1034_compliant_to_snake("this-is-a-test-label"))
# Output: this_is_a_test_label

# Input with invalid type
try:
