Developing SALs
SAL is an abbreviation for System Abstraction Layer
It provides a higher level DSL
to execute/manipulate certain functionality that has a dry or daunting interface with a simpler API
Code structure
Sals are a sub namespace in Jumpscale namespace, they exist in directory jumpscale/sals
. To develop a new SAL you need to make a new package in sals
directory in your threefoldtech
project.
➜ js-ng git:(development) ✗ tree jumpscale/sals
jumpscale/sals
├── fs
│ └── __init__.py
├── hostsfile
│ └── __init__.py
├── nettools
│ └── __init__.py
└── process
└── __init__.py
In each you will find a package fs
, hostsfile
, nettools
, process
as sal packages.
Writing code
You can put all of your code directly in the __init__.py
of your SAL package.
Accessing code
Code will be auto registered in the loader object j
like that j.sal.YOUR_NEW_SAL
