Introduction

five.grok is a development layer for Zope 2, based on Grok framework concepts.

The development techniques are similar to the ones used with Grok framework.

It is based on grokcore namespace packages that were factored out of Grok framework.

Implemented features

Coming from Grok, the following components are available to Zope 2 developers:

• Zope 3 Component (Adapter, Utility, Subscribers),

• Permissions,

• Views and Viewlets,

• Skins and resources directories,

• Page Templates (using the Zope 2 Page Templates),

• Formlib forms.

All those components are available with exactly the same syntax than in grok. You just have to do:

from five import grok

Instead of:

import grok

Installation

After adding the dependency to five.grok in your project, you have to load the following ZCML:

<include package="five.grok" />

Note

five.grok have some dependencies on Zope 3 eggs. With Zope 2, you can fake those dependencies in buildout by using the option fake-zope-eggs = true of plone.recipe.zope2instance. However, five.grok requires zope.component 3.4 at least. You can exclude that egg by mentioning zope.component in the option skip-fake-eggs in the same buildout section.

More information

You can refer to the Grok website: http://grok.zope.org/, and the Grok documentation: http://grok.zope.org/documentation/.

You can check the doctest included in sources as well.
