megrok extension for z3cform

Project description

megrok.z3cform.base is a not-so-thick layer above z3c.form. It provides a Grok way to register your forms and your widgets. In addition, the package has a collection of base forms, useable out-of-the box with megrok.layout.

The customization of the forms is also eased by the use of megrok.pagetemplate, allowing you to override a template easily.

Form registration

Models

We set up some models to serve as a form context:

>>> import grokcore.component as grok
>>> from zope import interface, schema

>>> class IMammoth(interface.Interface):
...    name = schema.TextLine(title=u"Name")
...    age = schema.Int(title=u"Age")

>>> class Mammoth(grok.Context):
...    grok.implements(IMammoth)
...    name = schema.fieldproperty.FieldProperty(IMammoth['name'])
...    age = schema.fieldproperty.FieldProperty(IMammoth['age'])

We declare the Form. It’s very similar to a grok.View:

>>> import megrok.z3cform.base as z3cform

>>> class TestForm(z3cform.Form):
...    grok.context(Mammoth)

Grokking and querying

We let Grok register the component:

>>> grok.testing.grok_component('form', TestForm)
True

Now, we can query it normally:

>>> from zope.publisher.browser import TestRequest
>>> request = TestRequest()
>>> manfred = Mammoth()

>>> from zope.component import getMultiAdapter
>>> myform = getMultiAdapter((manfred, request), name="testform")

>>> myform
<TestForm object at ...>
>>> print myform()
<form action="http://127.0.0.1" method="post"
        enctype="multipart/form-data" class="form-testform">
...

Layout integration

megrok.z3cform.base is integrated, out-of-the-box with megrok.layout, providing base classes to ease the layout integration in your project.

Let’s have a quick overview. We create a layout:

>>> import megrok.layout

>>> class MyLayout(megrok.layout.Layout):
...     grok.context(IMammoth)
...     def render(self):
...        return 'The layout content is: %s' % self.view.content()

We declare a Page Form. A Page Form is a form that will show up inside a layout:

>>> class PageForm(z3cform.PageForm):
...    grok.context(Mammoth)

We register the components with Grok:

>>> grok.testing.grok_component('page', PageForm)
True
>>> grok.testing.grok_component('layout', MyLayout)
True

Now, while rendering the form, we have it embedded in the Layout:

>>> pageform = getMultiAdapter((manfred, request), name="pageform")
>>> print pageform()
The layout content is: <form action="http://127.0.0.1" method="post"
      enctype="multipart/form-data" class="form-pageform">
...
