DataNode

class ydk.path.DataNode

Class represents a Path API’s DataNode.

Note

The Python DataNode is wrapper for YDK C++ DataNode implementation. No constructor is defined and the user could not instantiate a DataNode instance. However, the user could get an instance of DataNode through RootSchemaNode:

>>> from ydk.path import NetconfSession
>>> session = NetconfSession('127.0.0.1', 'admin', 'admin', 830)
>>> root_schema = session.get_root_schema()                               # <-- root_schema is an instance of RootSchemaNode
>>> bgp = root_schema.create_datanode('openconfig-bgp:bgp')               # <-- bgp is an instance of DataNode

add_annotation(annotation)

This method adds the annotation to this Datanode.

Parameters: annotation – (Annotation) Annotation to be added.
Raises: YInvalidArgumentError in case the argument is invalid.

annotations()

Get the annotations associated with this data node.

Returns: List of annotations for this data node.
Return type: list of Annotation

get_children()

Return list of children for this data node.

Returns: List of data node children.
Return type: list of DataNode

create_datanode(path, value=None)

Create a DataNode corresponding to the path and set its value, if provided.

Parameters

path – (str) The XPath expression identifying the node.
value – (str) The value to be set.

Raises

YPathError in case the path is invalid; YInvalidArgumentError in case the argument is invalid.

create_action(path)

Create a DataNode representing a YANG 1.1 action corresponding to the path and set its value, if provided.

Parameters: path – (str) The XPath expression identifying the node.
Raises: YPathError in case the path is invalid.
Raises: YInvalidArgumentError in case the argument is invalid.

__call__(service_provider)

Execute/Invoke the DataNode containing a YANG 1.1 action through the given service provider.

Parameters: service_provider – (ServiceProvider) The Service provider.
Returns: DataNode instance if succeed.
Return type: None or DataNode
Raises: YError in case the path is invalid or DataNode contains no action nodes.

find(path)

Finds nodes that satisfy the given path expression. For details about the path expression see How do I use the Path API?.

Parameters: path – (str) The path expression.
Returns: Data node satisfy the path expression supplied.
Return type: list of DataNode

get_value()

Returns this data node’s value.

Returns: Value of this data node.
Return type: A Python string

get_path()

Returns the path expression representing this Node in in the NodeTree.

Returns: Path to this data node.
Return type: A Python string

remove_annotation(annotation)

Remove given annotation for this node.

Parameters: annotation – (Annotation) Annotation to be removed.
Returns: If True the annotation was found and removed, False otherwise.
Return type: bool

get_root()

Get the root data node.

Returns: Root data node of current data node.
Return type: DataNode

get_schema_node(): Get SchemaNode associated with this DataNode.

set_value(value)

Note

The DataNode should represent a leaf , leaf-list or anyxml element for this to work. The value should be the string representation of the type of according to the schema.
This method does not validate the value being set.

Parameters: value – (str) The value to set. This should be the string representation of the YANG type.
Raises: YInvalidArgumentError if the its value cannot be set (for example it represents a container).
