[web2py] py4web grid

2020-07-13 Thread Massimo Di Pierro
For some people, the lack of a server side form/grid in py4web has been 
problem and reason not to move.
We now have a prototype:

https://github.com/web2py/py4web/issues/228

Could use some help testing and feedback.

[web2py] py4web grid syntax - needs testers

2019-09-15 Thread Massimo Di Pierro
I just pushed some changes to the new py4web grid (aka mtable aka 
publisher). It requires the latest pydal.

There is an example in http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples

But as of today it works like this:

0) make sure you have

apps/{yourapp}/static/components/mtable.js and mtable.html (copy them from 
_dashboard)

1) in controller define a publisher:

from py4web.utils.publisher import Publisher
publisher = Publisher(db, policy=ALLOW_ALL_POLICY)

# you can set more complex policies using the pydal restapi policy format. 
If the policy requires a logger in user do:

publisher = Publisher(db, auth=auth.user, policy=ALLOW_ALL_POLICY)

2) in the action:

# exposed as 
/examples/grid 

@action('mygrid')
@action.uses('mygrid.html')
def example_grid():
return dict(grid=publisher.grid(db.mytablename)) ### <<< your table name

3) In mygrid.html all you need is

[[extends "layout.html"]]
[[=grid]]

Notice you can have multiple grids per page. You can also have multiple 
publishers if you need different policies for different grids but you 
probably can do everything with one publisher. Each publisher exposes its 
own RESTAPI.

Does it work? Suggestions for improvements?
