z3ext.formatter 1.4.1

Extensible TALES fomratter expression.

Latest Version: 1.4.2

Detailed Dcoumentation
======================


===============
z3ext.formatter
===============

This package adds extensible tales expression for various formatters.
You can change formatter setting per site basis (z3ext.controlpanel).

For configure default settings, add following code to zope.conf


  timezone UTC


Values for timezoneFormat are:
    1: No timezone

We need register controlpanel configlet

  >>> from zope.configuration import xmlconfig
  >>> context = xmlconfig.string("""
  ... 
  ...    
  ...  
  ... """)

We'll try emulate 

  >>> from zope.app.appsetup import product
  >>> product._configs['z3ext.formatter'] = {
  ...   'timezone': u'UTC', 'timezoneFormat': '2', 'principalTimezone': 'true'}

Let's check this

   >>> product.getProductConfiguration('z3ext.formatter')
   {'timezone': u'UTC', 'timezoneFormat': '2', 'principalTimezone': 'true'}


Usually initFormatter() function is colled during IDatabaseOpenedEvent event,
we simply call it directly:

   >>> from z3ext.formatter.config import initFormatter
   >>> initFormatter(None)

Now we can get IFormatterConfiglet utility

   >>> from zope.component import getUtility
   >>> from z3ext.formatter.interfaces import IFormatterConfiglet

   >>> configlet = getUtility(IFormatterConfiglet)

Setup request

   >>> from zope import interface
   >>> from zope.publisher.browser import TestRequest
   >>> from zope.annotation.interfaces import IAttributeAnnotatable

   >>> request = TestRequest(environ={'HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE': 'en'})
   >>> interface.directlyProvides(request, IAttributeAnnotatable)

   >>> from pytz import UTC
   >>> from datetime import date, datetime, timedelta


DateTime formatter
------------------

   >>> from z3ext.formatter.tests import ZPTPage
   >>> page = ZPTPage()
   >>> page.pt_edit(u'''
   ... 
   ...   
   ...     
   ...     
   ...     
   ...     
   ...     
   ...   
   ... ''', 'text/html')

   >>> dt = datetime(2007, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, tzinfo=UTC)
   >>> dt
   datetime.datetime(2007, 1, 1, 0, 0, tzinfo=)

By default we use UTC timezone for output:

   >>> print page.render(request, now=dt)
   
     
       01/01/07 12:00 AM
       Jan 01, 2007 12:00:00 AM
       January 01, 2007 12:00:00 AM +0000
       Monday, January 01, 2007 12:00:00 AM UTC
       Jan 01, 2007 12:00:00 AM
     
   


If datetime object doesn't contain timezone information, UTC is used

   >>> print page.render(request, now=datetime(2007, 1, 1, 0, 0))
   
     
       01/01/07 12:00 AM
       Jan 01, 2007 12:00:00 AM
       January 01, 2007 12:00:00 AM +0000
       Monday, January 01, 2007 12:00:00 AM UTC
       Jan 01, 2007 12:00:00 AM
     
   


Now let's chane timezone to US/Pacific, we change only time zone
not datetime value

   >>> configlet.timezone = 'US/Pacific'

   >>> print page.render(request, now=dt)
   
     
       12/31/06 04:00 PM
       Dec 31, 2006 04:00:00 PM
       December 31, 2006 04:00:00 PM -0800
       Sunday, December 31, 2006 04:00:00 PM PST
       Dec 31, 2006 04:00:00 PM
     
   


fancyDatetime formatter
-----------------------

   >>> now = datetime.now(UTC)

   >>> fpage = ZPTPage()
   >>> fpage.pt_edit(u'''
   ... 
   ...   
   ...     
   ...     
   ...     
   ...     
   ...   
   ... ''', 'text/html')

Today's datetime

   >>> today = now - timedelta(hours=1)

   >>> print fpage.render(request, now=today)
   
     
       ...Today at ...
       ...Today at ...
       ...Today at ...
       ...Today at ...
     
   


Yesterday's datetime

   >>> yesterday = now - timedelta(hours=25)

   >>> print fpage.render(request, now=yesterday)
   
     
       ...Yesterday at ...
       ...Yesterday at ...
       ...Yesterday at ...
       ...Yesterday at ...
     
   


Default timezone is UTC

   >>> now = datetime.now(UTC)
   >>> print fpage.render(request, now=now)
   
     
       ...Today at ...
       ...Today at ...
       ...Today at ...
       ...Today at ...
     
   


Date formatter
--------------

   >>> datepage = ZPTPage()
   >>> datepage.pt_edit(u'''
   ... 
   ...   
   ...     
   ...     
   ...   
   ... ''', 'text/html')

   >>> d = date(2007, 1, 1)
   >>> d
   datetime.date(2007, 1, 1)

   >>> print datepage.render(request, today=d)
   
     
       Jan 01, 2007
       01/01/07
     
   


Also you can get formatter from python code

   >>> from z3ext.formatter.utils import getFormatter
   >>> formatter = getFormatter(request, 'dateTime', 'full')
   >>> formatter.format(dt)
   u'Sunday, December 31, 2006 04:00:00 PM PST'

We will get FormatterNotDefined if formatter is unknown

   >>> getFormatter(request, 'unknown')
   Traceback (most recent call last):
   ...
   FormatterNotDefined: ...

Wrong format, we should add path expression

   >>> errpage = ZPTPage()
   >>> errpage.pt_edit(u'''
   ...     ''', 'text/html')
   >>> print errpage.render(request)
   Traceback (most recent call last):
   ...
   PTRuntimeError: ...

Unknown formatter

   >>> errpage = ZPTPage()
   >>> errpage.pt_edit(u'''
   ...     ''', 'text/html')
   >>> print errpage.render(request)
   Traceback (most recent call last):
   ...
   FormatterNotDefined: unknown


Time formatter
--------------

   >>> datepage = ZPTPage()
   >>> datepage.pt_edit(u'''
   ... 
   ...   
   ...     
   ...     
   ...   
   ... ''', 'text/html')

   >>> t = datetime(2007, 1, 1, 10, 34, 03)
   >>> t
   datetime.datetime(2007, 1, 1, 10, 34, 3)

   >>> print datepage.render(request, time=t)
   
     
       10:34:03 AM
       10:34 AM
     
   


Custom formatter
================

We should define formatter factory and formatter itself
Let's implement formatter that accept string and currency name and
format as currency. Format of TALES expression whould be as
'formatter:,,,...:'
 is name of adapter that adapts IHTTPRequest to IFormatterFactory
also expression will pass  as args to factory.

   >>> from z3ext.formatter.interfaces import IFormatter, IFormatterFactory

Here code of formatter:

   >>> class MyFormatter(object):
   ...    interface.implements(IFormatter)
   ...
   ...    currencies = {'usd': '$', 'euro': 'Eur'}
   ...
   ...    def __init__(self, request, *args):
   ...       self.request = request
   ...       self.currency = self.currencies[args[0]]
   ...
   ...    def format(self, value):
   ...       return '%s %s'%(value, self.currency)

Now we need formatter factory:

   >>> class MyFormatterFactory(object):
   ...    interface.implements(IFormatterFactory)
   ...
   ...    def __init__(self, request):
   ...        self.request = request
   ...
   ...    def __call__(self, *args, **kw):
   ...        return MyFormatter(self.request, *args)

Now we need register factory as named adapter for IHTTPRequest

   >>> from zope.component import provideAdapter
   >>> from zope.publisher.interfaces.http import IHTTPRequest

   >>> provideAdapter(MyFormatterFactory, \
   ...   (IHTTPRequest,), IFormatterFactory, name='currency')

Now we can use formatter

   >>> page = ZPTPage()
   >>> page.pt_edit(u'''
   ... 
   ... 
   ... ''', 'text/html')

   >>> print page.render(request)
   121.04 $
   121.04 Eur


humanDatetime formatter
-----------------------

   >>> now = datetime.now(UTC)

   >>> fpage = ZPTPage()
   >>> fpage.pt_edit(u'''
   ... 
   ...   
   ...     
   ...     
   ...     
   ...     
   ...   
   ... ''', 'text/html')

Now datetime

   >>> print fpage.render(request, now=now)
   
      
        0 second(s) ago
        0 second(s) ago
        0 second(s) ago
        0 second(s) ago
      
    

   >>> today = now - timedelta(seconds=1)

   >>> print fpage.render(request, now=today)
   
      
        1 second(s) ago
        1 second(s) ago
        1 second(s) ago
        1 second(s) ago
      
    

   >>> today = now - timedelta(minutes=1)

   >>> print fpage.render(request, now=today)
   
      
        1 minute(s) ago
        1 minute(s) ago
        1 minute(s) ago
        1 minute(s) ago
      
    

   >>> today = now - timedelta(hours=1)

   >>> print fpage.render(request, now=today)
   
      
        1 hour(s) ago
        1 hour(s) ago
        1 hour(s) ago
        1 hour(s) ago
      
    

   >>> today = now - timedelta(days=1)

   >>> print fpage.render(request, now=today)
   
      
        1 day(s) ago
        1 day(s) ago
        1 day(s) ago
        1 day(s) ago
      
    

   >>> today = now - timedelta(days=7)

   >>> print fpage.render(request, now=today)
   
      
        1 week(s) ago
        1 week(s) ago
        1 week(s) ago
        1 week(s) ago
      
    

   >>> today = now - timedelta(days=30)

   >>> print fpage.render(request, now=today)
   
      
        1 month(s) ago
        1 month(s) ago
        1 month(s) ago
        1 month(s) ago
      
    

   >>> today = now - timedelta(days=367)

   >>> print fpage.render(request, now=today)
   
      
        1 year(s) ago
        1 year(s) ago
        1 year(s) ago
        1 year(s) ago
      
    

Tomorrow's datetime

   >>> today = now + timedelta(seconds=1)

   >>> print fpage.render(request, now=today)
   
      
        in 1 second(s)
        in 1 second(s)
        in 1 second(s)
        in 1 second(s)
