Does anyone know whether it's possible to access a decorator's attributes
inside the decorated method?
My problem:
I have blogs and the blogs can have comments. The blogs are the collection
used in the pagination decorator., i.e.
@paginate("blogs", items_per_page=3)
def blogs(self):
return dict(blogs=fetchblogsfromdatabase())
What I want to do is grab the blog comments only for the blogs currently
displayed on the paginated page. Aka:
@paginate("blogs", items_per_page=3)
def blogs(self):
blogs=fetchblogsfromdatabase()
comments=dict()
for x in blogs[on_current_page]:
comments[x.id]=grab_comments_for_x.id_blog()
return dict(blogs=blogs, comments=comments)
Obviously the decorator grabs the "blogs" collection after the controller
returns to hand the resulting subset to the templating engine.
Is there a hook I could use to inject the comments between decorating and
rendering?
Well, the other method would probably be an ajax call after rendering without
the comments to grab the comments and inject them into the page.
Any bright ideas on how to accomplish this? Ideally I'd like to access the
"paginate.items" attribute inside the controller method - but at that time the
decorator doesn't even know anything about the items to be rendered yet...
Thanks for any helpful hints anyone here might have.
