Hi list, I've looked through the documentation as well as some parts of the source but didn't find it anywhere. Basically, the question is how do I refactor common tasks like creating certain objects from GET variables that is required for every exposed method of my Root controller.
For instance if each and every method requires a GET variable referencing an object in a database, at the moment I validate this variable, fetch the corresponding object from the db at the beginning of every method. Where can I put this piece of code so that the object is available for every method? My feeling is that the variable should be passed to the __init__ of the RootController, there the necessary validation and object fetching should be done and then the object should be put into an instance variable where each method can find it. But I don't quite know how exactly a RootController is instantiated. Example: the app in question is a collection of blogs and every user must specify which blog he/she wants to view. This variable -- the one specifying the blog -- will be the first argument of every exposed method and it should be validated and the corresponding blog object should be fetched from the db and it should be readily available to every method. What's the best tg idiom for this? Cheers, Daniel --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
