How To Wrap These Decorated Functions Into A Class?

I am attempting to wrap V2 of the Slack API into a class so that I can keep information about my bot encapsulated. Here is one of their example snippets: import slack slack_token

Solution 1:

Have a look at how decorators work!

def decorator_factory(f):                                                                                                                                                                     
    def decoration(*args, **kwargs):                                                                                                                                                          
        print('before')                                                                                                                                                                       
        r = f(*args, **kwargs)                                                                                                                                                                
        print('after')                                                                                                                                                                        
        return r

There may be a better, canonical way to achieve what you want, but this would do the job:

class Client():                                                                                                                                                                               

    def __init__(self):                                                                                                                                                                       
        slack.RTMClient.run_on(event='message')(self.decorated)                                                                                                                               

    def decorated(self, x, y, z):                                                                                                                                                                      
        pass            

Solution 2:

They key is not to use the decorator at all.

From Markus' solution, just call the "run_on" function directly, before you call "start" function, similar to the below:

rtmclient = slack.RTMClient(token=self.Token)
rtmclient.run_on(event='message')(self.handle_command)
rtmclient.start()
