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)
Macro directive
A macro directive can be used for register macros. Take a look at the README.txt which explains the macro TALES expression.
>>> import sys
>>> from zope.configuration import xmlconfig
>>> import z3c.template
>>> context = xmlconfig.file('meta.zcml', z3c.macro)
First define a template which defines a macro:
>>> import os, tempfile
>>> temp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
>>> file = os.path.join(temp_dir, 'file.pt')
>>> open(file, 'w').write('''
... <html>
... <head>
... <tal:block replace="structure provider:ITitle">
... <metal:block define-macro="title">
... <title>Pagelet skin</title>
... </metal:block>
... </tal:block>
... </head>
... <body>
... <div>content</div>
... </body>
... </html>
... ''')
and register the macro provider within the z3c:macroProvider directive:
>>> context = xmlconfig.string("""
... <configure
... xmlns:z3c="http://namespaces.zope.org/z3c">
... <z3c:macro
... template="%s"
... name="title"
... />
... </configure>
... """ % file, context=context)
We need a content object…
>>> import zope.interface >>> class Content(object): ... zope.interface.implements(zope.interface.Interface) >>> content = Content()
and we need a view…
>>> import zope.interface >>> import zope.component >>> from zope.publisher.browser import BrowserPage >>> class View(BrowserPage): ... def __init__(self, context, request): ... self.context = context ... self.request = request
- and we need a request:
>>> from zope.publisher.browser import TestRequest >>> request = TestRequest()
Check if we get the macro template:
>>> from z3c.macro import interfaces
>>> view = View(content, request)
>>> zope.component.getMultiAdapter((content, view, request),
... interface=interfaces.IMacroTemplate, name='title')
[('version', '1.6'), ('mode', 'html'), ('setPosition', (5, 4)),...
[(u'define-macro', u'title', 'metal')]))]...
