===========================
Schema and Field Management
===========================
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema import Schema
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema import Field
Working with predefined schemas
===============================
We start with setting up a schema with fields.
>>> serviceSchema = Schema(
... Field(u'title', renderFactory=None),
... Field(u'description'),
... Field(u'start'),
... Field(u'end'),
... Field(u'capacity'),
... )
For using a schema we need some class that we can use for creating
objects.
>>> class Service(object):
... pass
The schema will be connected with an object via an instance adapter.
In addition, we need a field instance adapter that cares for the
correct conversion of input data to context attributes.
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema.instance import Editor
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema.field import FieldInstance
>>> from zope import component
>>> component.provideAdapter(Editor, (Service,), name="service.edit")
>>> component.provideAdapter(FieldInstance)
>>> srv = Service()
>>> inst = component.getAdapter(srv, name='service.edit')
>>> inst.template = serviceSchema
>>> inst.applyTemplate(data=dict(title='Service', capacity='30'))
<...FormState object ...>
>>> srv.title, srv.description, srv.capacity
(u'Service', u'', u'30')
Field types
-----------
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema.interfaces import fieldTypes
>>> sorted(t.token for t in fieldTypes)
['checkbox', 'checkboxes', 'date', 'decimal', 'display', 'dropdown',
'email', 'explanation', 'fileupload', 'heading', 'html', 'list', 'number',
'password', 'radiobuttons', 'spacer', 'textarea', 'textline']
>>> from zope.schema.vocabulary import SimpleVocabulary
>>> textFieldTypes = SimpleVocabulary([t for t in fieldTypes if t.token in
... ('textline', 'textarea',)])
>>> sorted(t.token for t in textFieldTypes)
['textarea', 'textline']
Dynamic default values
----------------------
>>> idField = Field(u'id', default='user/title|string:???', defaultValueType='tales')
>>> idField.getDefaultValue()
'???'
Creating a schema from an interface
===================================
>>> from zope.interface import Interface, implements
>>> import zope.schema
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema.factory import SchemaFactory
>>> component.provideAdapter(SchemaFactory)
>>> class IPerson(Interface):
... firstName = zope.schema.TextLine(title=u'First name')
... lastName = zope.schema.TextLine(title=u'Last name')
... age = zope.schema.Int(title=u'Age')
>>> class Person(object):
... implements(IPerson)
... def __init__(self, firstName=u'', lastName=u'', age=None):
... self.firstName, self.lastName, self.age = firstName, lastName, age
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema.interfaces import ISchemaFactory
>>> factory = ISchemaFactory(Person())
>>> schema = factory(IPerson)
>>> for f in schema.fields:
... print f.name, f.title, f.fieldType
firstName First name textline
lastName Last name textline
age Age number
Using a more specialized schema factory
---------------------------------------
>>> class PersonSchemaFactory(SchemaFactory):
... def __call__(self, interface, **kw):
... schema = super(PersonSchemaFactory, self).__call__(interface)
... if 'firstName' in schema.fields.keys():
... del schema.fields['firstName'] # don't show first name
... return schema
>>> component.provideAdapter(PersonSchemaFactory, (IPerson,))
>>> factory = ISchemaFactory(Person())
>>> schema = factory(IPerson)
>>> for f in schema.fields:
... print f.name, f.title, f.fieldType
lastName Last name textline
age Age number
Access and update a context object using a schema-based form
============================================================
>>> from zope.publisher.browser import TestRequest
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema.browser.form import Form
We first have to provide adapters for special field types ('number' in
this case) and an instance adapter that manages the access to the
context object.
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema.field import NumberFieldInstance
>>> component.provideAdapter(NumberFieldInstance, name='number')
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema.instance import Instance
>>> component.provideAdapter(Instance)
>>> person = Person(u'John', u'Miller', 33)
Note that the first name is not shown as we excluded it via the schema
factory above. The age field is a number, but is shown here as a
string as the instance is accessed using 'edit' mode, i.e. provide
data suitable for showing on an HTML form.
>>> form = Form(person, TestRequest())
>>> form.interface = IPerson
>>> form.data
{'lastName': u'Miller', 'age': '33'}
For editing we have to provide another instance adapter.
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema.instance import Editor
>>> component.provideAdapter(Editor, name='editor')
>>> input = dict(lastName='Miller', age='40', action='update')
>>> request = TestRequest(form=input)
>>> form = Form(person, request)
>>> form.interface = IPerson
>>> form.nextUrl = 'dummy_url' # avoid hassle with IAbsoluteURL view...
>>> form.update()
False
>>> person.age
40
Create a new object using a schema-based form
---------------------------------------------
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema.browser.form import CreateForm
>>> container = dict()
>>> input = dict(lastName=u'Smith', age='28', action='update')
>>> form = CreateForm(container, TestRequest(form=input))
>>> form.interface = IPerson
>>> form.factory = Person
>>> form.nextUrl = 'dummy_url' # avoid hassle with IAbsoluteURL view...
>>> form.getName = lambda x: x.lastName.lower()
>>> form.data
{'lastName': u'Smith', 'age': '28'}
>>> form.update()
False
>>> p2 = container['smith']
>>> p2.lastName, p2.age
(u'Smith', 28)
Macros / renderers
------------------
>>> fieldRenderers = form.fieldRenderers
>>> sorted(fieldRenderers.keys())
[u'field', u'field_spacer', u'fields', u'form', u'input_checkbox',
u'input_date', u'input_dropdown', u'input_fileupload', u'input_html',
u'input_list', u'input_password', u'input_textarea', u'input_textline']
Special Field Types
===================
Grids, Records, Key Tables
--------------------------
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema.grid.field import KeyTableFieldInstance
>>> ktfield = Field('data')
>>> ktfield.column_types = [zope.schema.Text(__name__='key', title=u'Key',),
... zope.schema.Text(__name__='value', title=u'Value')]
>>> ktfi = KeyTableFieldInstance(ktfield)
>>> ktfi.unmarshall([dict(key='0001', value='First row')])
{u'0001': [u'First row']}
>>> ktfi.marshall({u'0001': [u'First row']})
[{'value': u'First row', 'key': u'0001'}]
Now with some real stuff, using a field instance that takes the column types
from the context object of the edit form.
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema.grid.interfaces import KeyTable
>>> from cybertools.composer.schema.grid.field import \
... ContextBasedKeyTableFieldInstance
>>> component.provideAdapter(ContextBasedKeyTableFieldInstance, name='keytable')
>>> class IDataTable(Interface):
... title = zope.schema.TextLine(title=u'Title', required=False)
... columnNames = zope.schema.List(title=u'Column Names', required=False)
... data = KeyTable(title=u'Data', required=False)
>>> IDataTable['columnNames'].nostore = True
>>> class DataTable(object):
... implements(IDataTable)
... def __init__(self, title, columnNames):
... self.title = title
... self.columnNames = columnNames
>>> dt = DataTable('Account Types', ['identifier', 'label', 'info'])
>>> input = dict(title='Account Types',
... columnNames=['identifier', 'label', 'info'],
... data=[dict(identifier='0001', label='Standard', info='')],
... action='update')
>>> form = Form(dt, TestRequest(form=input))
>>> form.interface = IDataTable
>>> form.nextUrl = 'dummy_url'
>>> form.update()
False
>>> dt.data
{u'0001': [u'Standard', u'']}
