[Product-Developers] Introducing collective.grok

[Érico Andrei]

Hello guys,

I would like to present you collective.grok, a package bringing Grok and
Martian to Generic Setup and i18n registrations in Plone.

Right now the package is in version 1.0a2 (released on Pypi) and the code
and issue tracker are available at GitHub (
https://github.com/collective/collective.grok)

So, a tipical zcml file to handle profiles registration like this:

<configure
    xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope";
    xmlns:genericsetup="http://namespaces.zope.org/genericsetup";
    xmlns:i18n="http://namespaces.zope.org/i18n";
    i18n_domain="collective.person">

    <genericsetup:registerProfile
        name="default"
        title="collective.person: Install"
        directory="profiles/default"
        description="collective.person"
        provides="Products.GenericSetup.interfaces.EXTENSION"
        i18n:attributes="title; description"
        />

    <genericsetup:registerProfile
        name="uninstall"
        title="Uninstall collective.person"
        directory="profiles/uninstall"
        description="Uninstall collective.person"
        provides="Products.GenericSetup.interfaces.EXTENSION"
        i18n:attributes="title; description"
        />


    <genericsetup:importStep
        name="collective.person-upgrades"
        title="collective.person: Upgrades"
        description="Run available upgrades for this package."
        handler="collective.person.setuphandlers.run_upgrades">
    </genericsetup:importStep>

    <include package=".upgrades" />

    <genericsetup:importStep
       name="collective.person"
       title="Person Catalog Import Step"
       description=""
       handler="collective.person.exportimport.catalog.importPersonCatalog">
       <depends name="toolset"/>
    </genericsetup:importStep>

    <genericsetup:exportStep
       name="collective.person"
       title="Person Catalog Export Step"
       description=""
       handler="collective.person.exportimport.catalog.exportPersonCatalog"
     />

</configure>


Would be replaced by functions and decorators in Python files:

from collective.grok import gs

gs.profile(name=u'default',
       title=u'collective.person: Install',
       description=u'collective.person',
       directory='profiles/default')

# Uninstall Profile
gs.profile(name=u'uninstall',
           title=u'Uninstall collective.person',
           description=u'collective.person',
           directory='profiles/uninstall')

@gs.importstep(name=u'collective.person-upgrades',
           title='collective.person: Upgrades',
           description='Run available upgrades for this package.',
           dependencies=[])
def run_upgrades(context):
pass

@gs.importstep(name=u'collective.person',
           title='Person Catalog Import Step',
           description='',
           dependencies=['toolset', ])
def importPersonCatalog(context):
pass


@gs.exportstep(name=u'collective.person',
            title='Person Catalog Export Step',
            description='',)
def exportPersonCatalog(context):
pass


In the near future, collective.grok is planned to  support also:

* Portlets registration

* Transmogrifier

* Dexterity Behaviors (I'm not sure about this one, should be somewhere
else...)
