5.6. Request and ResultSet methods
Those are methods you’ll find on both request objects and on
repository session.
5.6.1. Request methods
URL handling:
- build_url(*args, **kwargs), returns an absolute URL based on the
given arguments. The controller supposed to handle the response,
can be specified through the first positional parameter (the
connection is theoretically done automatically :).
Data formatting:
- format_date(date, date_format=None, time=False) returns a string for a
date time according to instance’s configuration
- format_time(time) returns a string for a date time according to
instance’s configuration
And more...:
- tal_render(template, variables), renders a precompiled page template with
variables in the given dictionary as context
5.6.2. Result set methods
- get_entity(row, col), returns the entity corresponding to the data position
in the result set
- complete_entity(row, col, skip_bytes=True), is equivalent to get_entity but
also call the method complete() on the entity before returning it
