For me, there is no porting, it is re-writing. While a lot of the capabilities are there in py4web not all are part of py4web. Due to the nature of how things work, a lot of the 'global' structures in web2py have to be handled differently in py4web.
SQLFORM.grid is gone. FORM replaces SQLFORM but doesn't have all the features - https://py4web.com/_documentation/static/index.html#chapter-10 auth_group and auth_membership and auth_permission are gone - authentication/authorization have changed - https://py4web.com/_documentation/static/index.html#chapter-11 With those things being what they are, I've been playing with py4web for a few days now and really am liking it. It is crazy fast. You may have to write some more helpers to do some things that web2py did for you, but that's half the fun, isn't it? For instance, I used the grid that web2py's SQLFORM.grid provides for lots of listing pages. py4web doesn't have one so I've written a helper that displays pages the way my app wants to see them. I believe py4web is going to make it easier to use Vue.js in your pages, but I haven't made the just to using Vue yet so I can't really comment on that part. -Jim On Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at 12:33:10 PM UTC-6, Carlos Costa wrote: > > Hey Massimo, thanks for the great info. > > How about porting apps from web2py to py4web? > > What steps would you recommend? > > Em qua., 22 de jan. de 2020 às 08:21, AGRogers <roge...@gmail.com > <javascript:>> escreveu: > >> OK, thanks.
