Create content structures from JSON configurations

Project description

Create content structures from JSON files or Python dictionaries.

This package is meant as a helper to quickly create content structures from JSON files or Python structures for the purpose of pre-filling a site in development. It’s the successor of the package collective.setuphandlertools.

Examples

Register a post_handler in a GenericSetup profile:

<genericsetup:registerProfile
    name="basic_content"
    title="create basic content structure"
    directory="profiles/basic_content"
    description="Creates the basic content structure"
    provides="Products.GenericSetup.interfaces.EXTENSION"
    post_handler=".setuphandlers.basic_content"
    />

In your setuphandler.py:

from zope.component.hooks import getSite

def basic_content(context):
    content_structure = load_json('data/basic_content.json', __file__)
    create_item_runner(
        getSite(),
        content_structure,
        default_lang='en',
        default_wf_action='publish'
    )

And in your data/basic_content.json:

[
    {
        "type": "Folder",
        "id": "main",
        "title": "Main Folder",
        "childs": [
            {"type": "Page",   "title": "Page within Folder", "opts": {"default_page": true}},
            {"type": "Folder", "title": "Folder within Folder", "data": {"description": "Not much more in here."}}
        ]
    }
]
