interfaces: ClassVar[Set[str]] = {'always', 'default', 'never'}

Available interfaces:

• default: Default MAM policy (must be one of ‘roster’, ‘always’, ‘never’

• always (List[JID]): list of JIDs to always store conversations with.

• never (List[JID]): list of JIDs to never store conversations with.

name: ClassVar[str] = 'prefs'

The XML tag name of the element, not including any namespace prefixes. For example, an ElementBase object for <message /> would use name = 'message'.

namespace: str = 'urn:xmpp:mam:2'

The XML namespace for the element. Given <foo xmlns="bar" />, then namespace = "bar" should be used. The default namespace is jabber:client since this is being used in an XMPP library.

plugin_attrib: ClassVar[str] = 'mam_prefs'

For ElementBase subclasses which are intended to be used as plugins, the plugin_attrib value defines the plugin name. Plugins may be accessed by using the plugin_attrib value as the interface. An example using plugin_attrib = 'foo':

register_stanza_plugin(Message, FooPlugin)
msg = Message()
msg['foo']['an_interface_from_the_foo_plugin']

set_always(value)

set_never(value)

sub_interfaces: ClassVar[Set[str]] = {'always', 'never'}

A subset of interfaces which maps interfaces to direct subelements of the underlying XML object. Using this set, the text of these subelements may be set, retrieved, or removed without needing to define custom methods.
