Macro

This package provides a adapter and a TALES expression for a expliciter and flexibler macro handling using the adapter registry for macros.

We start with creating a content object that is used as a view context later:

>>> import zope.interface
>>> import zope.component
>>> from zope.publisher.interfaces.browser import IBrowserView
>>> from zope.publisher.interfaces.browser import IDefaultBrowserLayer
>>> class Content(object):
...     zope.interface.implements(zope.interface.Interface)
>>> content = Content()

We also create a temp dir for sample templates which we define later for testing:

>>> import os, tempfile
>>> temp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp()

Macro Template

We define a macro template as a adapter providing IMacroTemplate:

>>> path = os.path.join(temp_dir, 'navigation.pt')
>>> open(path, 'w').write('''
... <metal:block define-macro="navigation">
...   <div tal:content="title">---</div>
... </metal:block>
... ''')

Let’s define the macro factory

>>> from zope.app.pagetemplate import viewpagetemplatefile
>>> from z3c.macro import interfaces
>>> from z3c.macro import zcml
>>> navigationMacro = zcml.MacroFactory(path, 'navigation', 'text/html')

and register them as adapter:

>>> zope.component.provideAdapter(
...     navigationMacro,
...     (zope.interface.Interface, IBrowserView, IDefaultBrowserLayer),
...     interfaces.IMacroTemplate,
...     name='navigation')

The TALES macro Expression

The macro expression will look up the name of the macro, call a adapter providing IMacroTemplate and uses them or fills a slot if defined in the macro expression.

Let’s create a page template using the navigation macros:

>>> path = os.path.join(temp_dir, 'first.pt')
>>> open(path, 'w').write('''
... <html>
...   <body>
...     <h1>First Page</h1>
...     <div class="navi">
...       <tal:block define="title string:My Navigation">
...         <metal:block use-macro="macro:navigation" />
...       </tal:block>
...     </div>
...     <div class="content">
...       Content here
...     </div>
...   </body>
... </html>
... ''')

As you can see, we used the macro expression to simply look up a macro called navigation whihc get inserted and replaces the HTML content at this place.

Let’s now create a view using this page template:

>>> from zope.app.pagetemplate.simpleviewclass import SimpleViewClass
>>> FirstPage = SimpleViewClass(path, name='first.html')
>>> zope.component.provideAdapter(
...     FirstPage,
...     (zope.interface.Interface, IDefaultBrowserLayer),
...     zope.interface.Interface,
...     name='first.html')

Finally we look up the view and render it:

>>> from zope.publisher.browser import TestRequest
>>> request = TestRequest()
>>> view = zope.component.getMultiAdapter((content, request),
...                                       name='first.html')
>>> print view().strip()
<html>
  <body>
    <h1>First Page</h1>
    <div class="navi">
      <div>My Navigation</div>
    </div>
    <div class="content">
      Content here
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

Slot

We can also define a macro slot and fill it with given content:

>>> path = os.path.join(temp_dir, 'addons.pt')
>>> open(path, 'w').write('''
... <metal:block define-macro="addons">
...   Content before header
...   <metal:block define-slot="header">
...     <div>My Header</div>
...   </metal:block>
...   Content after header
... </metal:block>
... ''')

Let’s define the macro factory

>>> addonsMacro = zcml.MacroFactory(path, 'addons', 'text/html')

and register them as adapter:

>>> zope.component.provideAdapter(
...     addonsMacro,
...     (zope.interface.Interface, IBrowserView, IDefaultBrowserLayer),
...     interfaces.IMacroTemplate,
...     name='addons')

Let’s create a page template using the addons macros:

>>> path = os.path.join(temp_dir, 'second.pt')
>>> open(path, 'w').write('''
... <html>
...   <body>
...     <h1>Second Page</h1>
...     <div class="header">
...       <metal:block use-macro="macro:addons">
...         This line get ignored
...         <metal:block fill-slot="header">
...           Header comes from here
...         </metal:block>
...         This line get ignored
...       </metal:block>
...     </div>
...   </body>
... </html>
... ''')

Let’s now create a view using this page template:

>>> SecondPage = SimpleViewClass(path, name='second.html')
>>> zope.component.provideAdapter(
...     SecondPage,
...     (zope.interface.Interface, IDefaultBrowserLayer),
...     zope.interface.Interface,
...     name='second.html')

Finally we look up the view and render it:

>>> view = zope.component.getMultiAdapter((content, request),
...                                       name='second.html')
>>> print view().strip()
<html>
  <body>
    <h1>Second Page</h1>
    <div class="header">
<BLANKLINE>
  Content before header
<BLANKLINE>
          Header comes from here
<BLANKLINE>
  Content after header
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

Cleanup

>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.rmtree(temp_dir)
