WebGrid 0.1.44

A library for rendering HTML tables and Excel files from SQLAlchemy models.

Introduction

WebGrid is a datagrid library for Flask and other Python web frameworks designed to work with SQLAlchemy ORM entities.

Based on the configured grid, it will output an HTML table with sorting, filtering, and paging.

It also will export the grid to Excel.

For now, if you are interested in using it, you will need to see the source code and tests therein for example usage.

Message management

The setup.cfg file is configured to handle the standard message extraction commands.

To manage the messages in the webgrid_ta test application:

• extract_messages

  setup.py extract_messages --input-dirs=webgrid_ta --mapping-file=webgrid_ta/i18n/babel.cfg --output-file=webgrid_ta/i18n/webgrid_ta.pot

• init_catalog

  setup.py init_catalog --domain=webgrid_ta --input-file=webgrid_ta/i18n/webgrid_ta.pot --output-dir=webgrid_ta/i18n --locale=es

• update_catalog

  setup.py update_catalog --domain=webgrid_ta --input-file=webgrid_ta/i18n/webgrid_ta.pot --output-dir=webgrid_ta/i18n

• compile_catalog

  setup.py compile_catalog --domain=webgrid_ta --directory=webgrid_ta/i18n

Upgrading

Upgrading to v0.1.38

The i18n support added in v0.1.38 introduces a slight change which could affect existing installations, related to the handling of “table totals” labels.

In versions prior to v0.1.38, the word ‘Totals’ (ie, “Page Totals” or “Grand Totals”) was added by the renderers.HTML.table_totals method. Starting in v0.1.38, the word ‘Totals’ is added individually in the methods which call table_totals (currently renderers.HTML.table_pagetotals and renderers.HTML.table_grandtotals).

Installations which customize any of the renderers.HTML.table_totals, renderers.HTML.table_pagetotals, or renderers.HTML.table_grandtotals should review the changes to ensure proper functionality.
