transmogrify.dexterity 1.0

A transmogrifier blueprint for updating dexterity objects

Introduction

The transmogrify.dexterity package provides a transmogrifier pipeline section for updating field values of dexterity content objects. The blueprint name is transmogrify.dexterity.schemaupdater.

The schemaupdater section needs at least the path to the object to update. Paths to objects are always interpreted as being relative to the context. Any writable field who’s id matches a key in the current item will be updated with the corresponding value.

Fields that do not get a value from the pipeline are initialized with their default value or get a missing_value marker. This functionality will be moved into a separate constructor pipeline…

The schmemaupdater section can also handle fields defined in behaviors.

Actually tested and supported fields

• TextLine or Text

• Bool

• List

• NamedFileField

  needs a dict with data and filename or get the filename in a seperated value from the pipeline

• Date

  needs a datetime.date or datetime.datetime object, or a string in the following format “%Y-%m-%d”

TODO

• General support for all fields

• Tests
