collective.trajectory 0.1

Introduction
============

This product provides URL routing capability to Plone content. Powered by the
awesome traject library by Martijn Faassen and based on a similar library called
megrok.traject.

Note: this is still a proof of concept, need more testing.

What It Does
=============

Basically, this project allow your content to be a routing based app. For example,
with this product, you can have something like:

* site/folder/myApp - a traject enabled content, resolved through graph
traversal
* site/folder/myApp/models/1 - returns a SQLalchemy model object, resolved
through url routing

Enabling routing for content type
==================================

Hook this into ZCML::

<adapter factory="collective.trajectory.components.Traverser"
for="myproduct.content.mycontent.MyContent
zope.publisher.interfaces.IRequest"/>

where `myproduct.content.mycontent.MyContent` is the class of the content
type which will be the root of the URL routing.

Registering route patterns
===========================

Registering patterns is pretty much like how its supposed to be done in
normal traject. However, the model class will need to be inherited from
`collective.trajectory.components.Model`

from collective.trajectory.components import Model
from myproduct.content.mycontent import MyContent
import traject

class MyModel(Model):
def __init__(self, item_id):
self.item_id = item_id

def factory(item_id):
return MyModel(item_id)

def arguments(obj):
return {
'item_id': obj.item_id
}

pattern = u'models/:item_id'
traject.register(MyContent, pattern, factory)
traject.register_inverse(MyContent, MyModel, pattern, arguments)


Additional Info
================

* The returned models acquire attributess from your MyApp object through
Acquisition, so that templates behave as it should, and portal tools
available through current context.
* Views are simply the standard plone browserviews, nothing fancy.
