visaplan.plone.infohubs 1.2.0

Features

• The info dictionary holds the collected information of interest during processing of the request.

• The hub dictionary holds the tools which were used to get those information chunks.

  For some named tools, there are abbreviations available (e.g. pc for portal_catalog), mostly for historical reasons.

Examples

This add-on can be seen in action at the following sites:

Installation and usage

Add visaplan.plone.infohubs to the requirements of your add-on.

Then, in your own code:

from visaplan.plone.infohubs import make_hubs
...
    # in some function or method where you have a meaningful context:
    hub, info = make_hubs(self.context)
    someval = info['some_known_key']

While getting the information for the given key some_known_key, the used tools will be stored in the hub dictionary, and other information found on the way will be stored in the info dictionary.

1.2.0 (2020-12-16)

New Features:

• @@infohubs-demo view to allow interactive tests; info keys and their values are listed in resolution order.

  With visaplan.tools >= v1.3.1, the keys input field will take multiple keys to demonstrate.

• info key my_translation: a proxy to get the appropriate language version for an object given by path or uid

Improvements:

• If visaplan.zope.reldb is installed, the hub['sqlwrapper'] will use its wrapper for an SQLAlchemy -based database connection

Hard dependencies removed:

Requirements:

• If visaplan.zope.reldb is not installed but visaplan.plone.sqlwrapper is, the latter must be >= v1.0.3.

  If visaplan.zope.reldb is installed, we don’t care whether or not visaplan.plone.sqlwrapper is installed as well, and which version.
