A parser template documentation is provided along with the parser examples in parser directory. The template doc defines the common format/structure/guidelines which helps to guide developers to start and complete their parser development.

#* ShowParser: parser class
#*
#* Each module contains at least one parser class which provides the
# implementation details of all supported parsing mechanisms (cli(), xml(),
#* yang()). Each parser class must inherit from `MetaParser`.
#*
#* Class name should be the first 2 words of the
#* corresponding cli command or equivalent. For example: class 'ShowVersion'
#* to represent 'show version'.
#*
#* If the first 2 words contain strong ambiguity (e.g.: show ip),
#* extend the next word (e.g.: show ip ospf) to clarify the parser purpose.
#*
#* For variable phrases within the parser name (e.g.: show interface Eth3/4),
#* use _WORD_ to present the phrase (e.g.: ShowInterface_WORD_).
#*

class ShowParser(MetaParser):

    '''class ShowParser

    yang output.

    Arguments:
        <name> (<type>): <description of your parser argument>

    Examples:
        < provide examples on how to initialize this parser. >
    '''

    #*************************
    #* class constructor (optional) __init__():
    #*
    #* In case of redefining __init__ in parser class to overwrite the super
    #* class MetaParser __init__() to support extra attributes, here is an
    #* example:
    #*     def __init__(self, name, **kwargs):
    #*         super().__init__(name=name, **kwargs)

    # <define your own __init__ here, or skip it by using superclass definition>

    #*************************
    #* schema - class variable
    #*
    #* schema defines the common data structure among all types of device
    #* output (cli, xml, yang) the current parser supports. The typical
    #* scenario is: the first user who defines the first parsing mechanism
    #* (e.g.: cli ()) in parser class will also define the schema for the
    #* output structure. At the end of the parsing process, parser engine
    #* (MetaParser) will do schema checking to make sure the parser always
    #* returns the output (nested dict) that has the same data structure
    #* across all supported parsing mechanisms (cli(), yang(), xml()).
    #*
    #* Example of schema (show version) - nested dict
    #*    schema = {'cmp': {
    #*                    'module': {
    #*                             Any(): {
    #*                                     'bios_compile_time': str,
    #*                                     'bios_version': str,
    #*                                     'image_compile_time': str,
    #*                                     'image_version': str,
    #*                                     'status': str},}},
    #*              'hardware': {
    #*                    'bootflash': str,
    #*                    'chassis': str,
    #*                    'cpu': str,
    #*                    'device_name': str,
    #*                    'memory': str,
    #*                    'model': str,
    #*                    'processor_board_id': str,
    #*                    'slots': str,
    #*                    Any(): Any(),},}
    #*
    #* Here Any() in schema acting like a wildcard character, usually used
    #* to presenting the variable keys within the dictionary.
    #* For more info on how to use scheme: please read schemaengine API doc.

    #******************************
    #* parsing mechanism: cli
    #* Function cli() defines the cli type output parsing mechanism which
    #* typically contains 3 steps: executing, transforming, returning
    #*
    #* Step1 - executing
    #* User has choices of calling the existing cli parsers from known
    #* libraries, or implementing new parsing mechanism here
    #* (eg.: regular expression).
    #*
    #* Example 1 - user implementing parsing mechanism
    #*    parsed_output = {}
    #*    output = self.device.execute("show version | inc 'cisco '")
    #*    m = re.match(r"cisco ([a-zA-Z0-9 ]+)", output.strip(' \t\n\r'))
    #*    if m:
    #*        parsed_output['model'] = m.group(0).strip()
    #*
    #* Step2 - transforming
    #* This step might be optional for the first parser mechanism writer.
    #* The purpose of this step is to enforce the final output structure
    #* from all different parsing mechanisms (cli(), xml(), yang()) to be
    #* same. User can greatly leverage all the functionalities provided in
    #* metaparser.util class.
    #*
    #* Useful tools to do the transformation:
    #* dict.update()  --> adding missing key-value pairs
    #* metaparser.util.keynames_convert()  --> nested key names converting
    #*
    #* Step3: - returning
    #* return the final result - the structure of the result has to be
    #* (nested)dictionary

    def cli(self, **kwargs):
        # executing parser
        # <step1 executing: get parsing resullt by calling existing backend
        #        parser function or write user own parsing code here>

        # converting the result to compliance with schema
        # <step2: transform the datastructure to be compliance with the
        #         schema defined on top of the class>

        # <step3: return the final parsing result>
        return

    #* parsing mechanism: xml
    #* Function xml() defines the xml type output parsing mechanism which
    #* typically contains 3 steps: executing, transforming, returning
    #*
    #* User has choices of calling the existing xml parsers from known
    #* libraries, or implementing new parsing mechanism here.
