Grok Resources based on hurry.resource
Project description
megrok.resource is a package destined to integrate hurry.resource and z3c.hashedresource into Grok applications.
Setup
Let’s import and init the necessary work environment:
>>> import grokcore.component as grok >>> from zope.testbrowser.testing import Browser >>> browser = Browser() >>> browser.handleErrors = False
Library
A Library is a component meant to expose a folder containing resources:
>>> from megrok import resource
>>> class SomeCSS(resource.Library):
... resource.path('ftests/css')
>>> grok.testing.grok_component('somecss', SomeCSS)
True
Once grokked, the library provides the ILibrary interface and gets an accessible name:
>>> from megrok.resource import ILibrary >>> ILibrary.providedBy(SomeCSS) True >>> SomeCSS.name 'somecss'
At this point, it should be accessible via the component architecture as a named adapter:
>>> from zope.component import getAdapter >>> from zope.publisher.browser import TestRequest >>> library = getAdapter(TestRequest(), name='somecss') >>> library <grokcore.view.components.DirectoryResource object at ...>
Resources
Simple resources
Resources can be declared as part of their library, with their dependencies:
>>> css_a = resource.ResourceInclusion(SomeCSS, 'a.css') >>> css_b = resource.ResourceInclusion(SomeCSS, 'b.css')
Grouping resources
Sometimes, resources need to be grouped logically. They can be declared in a group inclusion:
>>> css_group = resource.GroupInclusion([css_a, css_b]) >>> css_group.inclusions() [<ResourceInclusion 'a.css' in library 'somecss'>, <ResourceInclusion 'b.css' in library 'somecss'>]
Library resource
Sometimes, it can be too cumbersome to declare the resources and the library separatly. When the resource is not destined to be re-used, it can be tempting to register everything with a single declaration. The ResourceLibrary component is what you need in these situations.
A Resource library is a mix between a library and a group inclusion. You need to define the usual path and name and then, the linked resources:
>>> class EasyResources(resource.ResourceLibrary):
... resource.path('ftests/css')
... resource.resource('a.css')
... resource.resource('b.css')
>>> grok.testing.grok_component('someresources', EasyResources)
True
Once the component has been grokked, the resources are available:
>>> EasyResources.inclusions() [<ResourceInclusion 'a.css' in library 'easyresources'>, <ResourceInclusion 'b.css' in library 'easyresources'>]
Including resources in components
When rendering a web page we want to be able to include the resources where we need them.
There are several ways to include them. It can be done automatically upon traversal on any IResourcesIncluder component, or manually specified.
Traversal inclusion
For this example, we’ll create a view and use the automatic inclusion, using the include directive:
>>> from grokcore import view >>> from zope.interface import Interface >>> class MyView(view.View): ... grok.context(Interface) ... resource.include(css_a) ... ... def render(self): return ""
For the resources to be automatically included during the traversal, we need to inform the publishing machinery that our component (the view), is a IResourcesIncluder. This is done automatically, when using the “include” directive:
>>> resource.IResourcesIncluder.implementedBy(MyView) True
Of course, this should not remove the existing interfaces implementations:
>>> from zope.interface import Interface >>> class IMySuperIface(Interface): pass >>> class MyView(view.View): ... grok.context(Interface) ... grok.implements(IMySuperIface) ... resource.include(css_a) ... ... def render(self): return "<html><head></head></html>" >>> resource.IResourcesIncluder.implementedBy(MyView) True >>> IMySuperIface.implementedBy(MyView) True
The include directive can be stacked, if several resources are to be included:
>>> class AnotherView(MyView):
... resource.include(css_a)
... resource.include(css_b)
>>> grok.testing.grok_component('AnotherView', AnotherView)
True
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/@@anotherview')
>>> print browser.contents
<html><head>
<link... href="http://localhost/@@/++noop++.../somecss/a.css" />
<link... href="http://localhost/@@/++noop++.../somecss/b.css" />
</head></html>
A ResourceLibrary component can be included just like a normal resource:
>>> class YetAnotherView(view.View):
... grok.context(Interface)
... resource.include(EasyResources)
...
... def render(self):
... return u"<html><head></head></html>"
>>> grok.testing.grok_component('yav', YetAnotherView)
True
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/@@yetanotherview')
>>> print browser.contents
<html><head>
<link... href="http://localhost/@@/++noop++.../easyresources/a.css" />
<link... href="http://localhost/@@/++noop++.../easyresources/b.css" />
</head></html>
Include validation
The include directive will raise an error if the provided value is not a valid inclusion object:
>>> sneaky = object() >>> class FailingView(view.View): ... grok.context(Interface) ... resource.include(sneaky) ... ... def render(self): ... return u"" Traceback (most recent call last): ... ValueError: You can only include IInclusion or ResourceLibrary components.
It should accept non-grokked ResourceLibraries as valid inclusions:
>>> class OtherResources(resource.ResourceLibrary):
... resource.path('ftests/css')
... resource.resource('a.css')
>>> class TolerantView(view.View):
... grok.context(Interface)
... resource.include(OtherResources)
...
... def render(self):
... return u""
Remote inclusion
Until now, we’ve seen that the resource inclusion could be made using the include directive. However, it can be very useful to be able to set inclusion on classes we don’t “own”. This “remote” inclusion is done using the component_includes function.
We first register a view that includes no resources:
>>> class DummyView(view.View):
... grok.context(Interface)
...
... def render(self):
... return u"<html><head></head></html>"
>>> grok.testing.grok_component('dummy', DummyView)
True
The view class doesn’t implement the needed interface:
>>> resource.IResourcesIncluder.implementedBy(DummyView) False
Now, we can use the remote inclusion function, to enable resources:
>>> resource.component_includes(DummyView, css_group) >>> resource.IResourcesIncluder.implementedBy(DummyView) True >>> resource.include.bind().get(DummyView) [<hurry.resource.core.GroupInclusion object at ...>]
This function can be used either on a class or an instance:
>>> class UselessView(view.View):
... grok.context(Interface)
...
... def render(self): return u""
>>> grok.testing.grok_component('useless', UselessView)
True
>>> from zope.component import getMultiAdapter
>>> useless = getMultiAdapter(
... (object(), TestRequest()), name="uselessview")
>>> useless
<megrok.resource.ftests.UselessView object at ...>
>>> resource.component_includes(useless, css_group)
>>> resource.IResourcesIncluder.providedBy(useless)
True
>>> resource.include.bind().get(useless)
(<hurry.resource.core.GroupInclusion object at ...>,)
Cache and hash
You probably noticed the “++noop++” traverser, in the resource URL. This is used to provide a hash and therefore, a unique URL. It can be very useful to work with caches and avoid outdated resources to be served.
However, it can happen that this behavior (by default) is unwanted. To disable the use of the hashed URL, we can use the use_hash directive and set its value to False. This can be done either in the class definition or by using the directive set method:
>>> from megrok.resource import use_hash
>>> use_hash.set(SomeCSS, False)
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/@@anotherview')
>>> print browser.contents
<html><head>
<link... href="http://localhost/@@/somecss/a.css" />
<link... href="http://localhost/@@/somecss/b.css" />
</head></html>
Changelog
0.5 (2010-07-24)
Removed specific ILibrary interface and now use the one from hurry.resource so the ILibraryUrl adapter found is the same for megrok.resource.Library and hurry.resource.Library. You need hurry.zoperesource 0.5 to have hashed resource for hurry.resource.Library instances.
0.4.1 (2010-02-19)
Fixed the case where a ResourceLibrary is included using the “include” directive, in the same package. It was triggering an error because a non-grokked ResourceLibrary does not provide IInclusion. The directive now checks the subclass of the value to determine if the given inclusion is a valid IInclusion or a ResourceLibrary sub-class.
0.4 (2010-02-18)
Cleaned the dependencies : everything is declared as it should. zope.site is now a main and not test dependency.
Renamed module “traversal” to “url”, to describe accurately what the module is about : url computation.
“mode” from hurry.resource is now exposed by the package.
0.3 (2009-12-23)
The IResourcesIncluder interface is now automatically implemented by the class while using the include directive. This makes the whole system a lot more natural.
The interfaces have been moved to a dedicated module. If you used to import from components, please, correct your code.
0.2 (2009-12-22)
Added a ResourceLibrary component that is a mix between a Library and a GroupInclusion. It allows to declare both the Library and the Resources in a single class but impacts the re-usability.
Library now directly inherits from grokcore.view.DirectoryResource, to inherit the get method behavior. This inheritance was avoided to prevent grokkers clash (grokcore.view.DirectoryResource grokker doesn’t have a fallback for the name directive.). Our grokker has now the priority and explicitly set the name directive value.
0.1 (2009-12-21)
