Introduction

rebecca.menu is component for pyramid, that provides management of menu urls.

Install

You can install rebecca.menu with pip.

$ pip install rebecca.menu

Usage

rebecca.menu provides include hook.:

config.include('rebecca.menu')

register and use Menu

To add menu, use add_route_menu directive.:

config.add_route('menu1', '/menus/menu1')
config.add_route('menu2', '/menus/menu2')
config.add_route_menu(menu_name="system", route_name="menu1", display_name="system menu item1")

Or use route_menu_config decorator.:

@route_menu_config('system')
class SystemMenu3(object):
    route_name="menu3"
    display_name = "system menu item3"

To get menu, use get_menu API:

from rebecca.menu import get_menu

def menu(request):
    system_menu = get_menu(request, system)
    return dict(menu=system_menu)

get_menu returns the object that provides rebecca.menu.interfaces.IMenu. IMenu has a property named menu_items that is list including IMenuItem.

IMenuItem has some property, display_name, name and url. Maybe you use menu items in template such as below:

<ul class="nav">
%for m in system_menu.menu_items:
    <li><a href="${m.url}">${m.display_name}</a></li>
%endfor
</ul>

Permissions

Registering menu with permission

@route_menu_config('system')
class SystemMenu3(object):
    route_name="menu3"
    display_name = "system menu item3"
    permission = 'menu3-permission'

get_menu check permission of request with has_permission, causes that menu_items includes menu items passed permission check.

Matchdict

If route has placeholder, the menu url fills values from request.matchdict.

config.add_route("menu1", 'menus/menu1/{testing_vars}')
menu_factory.add_item(route_name="menu1", display_name="testing-menu1")

When matchdict has values for testing_vars as “that-is-testing”, menu1’s url is “menus/menu1/that-is-testing”.
