Example

First we have to setup a container with some objects.

>>> from zope.app.testing.functional import getRootFolder
>>> root = getRootFolder()

>>> from zope.app.container import btree
>>> class Container(btree.BTreeContainer):
...     """Sample container."""
...     __name__ = u'container'
>>> container = Container()

>>> root['container'] = container

>>> class Content(object):
...     """Sample content."""
...     def __init__(self, title, number):
...         self.title = title
...         self.number = number

>>> container[u'first'] = Content('First', 1)
>>> container[u'second'] = Content('Second', 2)
>>> container[u'third'] = Content('Third', 3)

>>> len(container)
3

Ok now we have a container with three objects in it. Now we can create a tabular view for this container:

>>> from megrok.z3cform.tabular import FormTable
>>> import grokcore.component as grok
>>> from megrok.z3cform.base import button, extends

>>> class FormTableView(FormTable):
...     grok.context(Container)
...     extends(FormTable)
...
...     @button.buttonAndHandler(u'ChangeWorkflowState')
...     def handleChangeWorkflowState(self, action):
...         print 'success'
...
...     def render(self):
...         return self.renderFormTable()

>>> grok.testing.grok_component('formtableview', FormTableView)
True

>>> from megrok.z3ctable import table, CheckBoxColumn, NameColumn
>>> class CheckBox(CheckBoxColumn):
...     grok.name('checkBox')
...     grok.context(Container)
...     table(FormTableView)

>>> grok.testing.grok_component('checkbox', CheckBox)
True

>>> class Name(NameColumn):
...     grok.name('name')
...     grok.context(Container)
...     table(FormTableView)

>>> grok.testing.grok_component('name', Name)
True

Ok now we can call the FormTableView on the container. We should see a table with three rows and two columns. There is a default Cancel button and our custom ChangeWorkflowState button.

>>> from zope.publisher.browser import TestRequest
>>> request = TestRequest()

>>> from zope.component import getMultiAdapter
>>> formtableview = getMultiAdapter((container, request), name="formtableview")
>>> formtableview
<FormTableView 'formtableview'>

>>> formtableview.update()
>>> print formtableview()
<form action="http://127.0.0.1" method="post"
      enctype="multipart/form-data" class="edit-form"
      name="formTable" id="formTable">
  <div class="viewspace">
    <div>
    <div class="tabluarTable">
      <table class="contents">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Name</th>
      <th>X</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr class="even">
      <td>first</td>
      <td><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox-widget" name="formTable-checkBox-1-selectedItems" value="first"  /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="odd">
      <td>second</td>
      <td><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox-widget" name="formTable-checkBox-1-selectedItems" value="second"  /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="even">
      <td>third</td>
      <td><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox-widget" name="formTable-checkBox-1-selectedItems" value="third"  /></td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
    </div>
    <div class="tabluarForm">
    </div>
  </div>
  </div>
  <div>
    <div class="buttons">
<input id="formTable-buttons-cancel"
       name="formTable.buttons.cancel"
       class="submit-widget button-field" value="Cancel"
       type="submit" />
<input id="formTable-buttons-changeworkflowstate"
       name="formTable.buttons.changeworkflowstate"
       class="submit-widget button-field"
       value="ChangeWorkflowState" type="submit" />
    </div>
  </div>
</form>

This package works nicely with megrok.layout. There are some additional BaseClasses available. Please take a look on the tests.

Enjoy...
