five.grok 2.0

Introduction

five.grok is a development layer for Zope, based on Grok framework concepts.

The development techniques are similar to the ones used with Grok framework.

It is based on grokcore namespace packages that were factored out of Grok framework.

Implemented features

Coming from Grok, the following components are available to Zope developers:

• Zope 3 Component (Adapter, Global utilities, Subscribers),

• Permissions,

• Views and Viewlets,

• Skins and resources directories,

• Page Templates (using the Zope Page Templates),

• Formlib forms (optional, you need to include the extra form),

• Local sites and local utilities,

• Annotations,

• Layout (optional, you need to include the extra layout).

All those components are available with exactly the same syntax than in grok. You just have to do:

from five import grok

Instead of:

import grok

Installation

After adding the dependency to five.grok in your project, you have to load the following ZCML:

<include package="five.grok" />

More information

You can refer to the Grok website: http://grok.zope.org/, and the Grok documentation: http://grok.zope.org/documentation/.
