Model

BaseList

class ringo.model.base.BaseList(clazz, request, user=None, cache='', items=None)

__init__(clazz, request, user=None, cache='', items=None)

A List object of. A list can be filterd, and sorted.

Clazz:Class of items which will be loaded. Request:Current request User:If provided only items readable for the given user are included in the list Cache:Name of the cache region. If empty then no caching is done.

sort(field, order, expand=True)

Will return a sorted item list. Sorting is done based on the string version of the value in the sort field.

Field:Name of the field on which the sort will be done Order:If “desc” then the order will be reverted. Expand:If True, then the sorting will be done on the expanded values. Returns:Sorted item list

filter(filter_stack)

This function will filter the list of items by only leaving those items in the list which match all search criterias in the filter stack. The list will get reduced with every iteration on the filter stack.

For each filter in the stack The search word will be compiled to the regular expression. Then all items are iterated. For each item the function will try to match the value of either all, or from the configued search field with the regular expression. If the value matches, then the item is kept in the list.

BaseFactory

class ringo.model.base.BaseFactory(clazz)

__init__(clazz)

Factory to create of load instances of the clazz.

Clazz:The clazz of which new items will be created

create(user)

Will create a new instance of clazz. The instance is it is not saved persistent at this moment. The method will also take care of setting the correct ownership.

User:User instance will own the new created item Returns:Instance of clazz

load(id, db=None, cache='', uuid=False)

Loads the item with id from the database and returns it.

Id:ID of the item to be loaded Db:DB session to load the item Cache:Name of the cache region. If empty then no caching is done. Uuid:If true the given id is a uuid. Default to false Returns:Instance of clazz

BaseItem

class ringo.model.base.BaseItem

render()

This function can be used to render a different representation of the item. On default it also returns the simple string representation. Usefull to build some HTML used in links e.g overviews and lists

classmethod get_item_actions()

Returns a list of ActionItems which are available for items modul. If you want to add custom actions to the modul please overwrite this method.

Returns:List of ActionItems.

classmethod get_table_config(tablename=None)

Returns the table (overview, listing) configuration with the name ‘tablename’ of this Item from the configuration file. If the default table configuration will be returned. The table configuration is cached for later requests.

classmethod get_form_config(formname)

Return the Configuration for a given form. The configuration tried to be loaded from the application first. If this fails it tries to load it from the ringo application.

get_changes()

Will return dictionary which attributes which have been changes. The value for each attribute is a tuple with the old and new value.

The function uses sqlalchemy history object which has information on changed attributes of the item to check which attributes have changed. See http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_8/orm/session.html ?highlight=get_history#sqlalchemy.orm.attributes.get_history for more details.

Returns:Dictionary whith changes.

get_value(name, form_id='create')

Return the value of the given attribe of the item. Unlike accessing the raw value through the attribite directly this function will apply all configured transformations to the value before returing it.

get_values(include_relations=False, serialized=False)

Will return a dictionary with the values of the item. If include_relations is true, than the realtion values are included. Else only scalar values are included

set_values(values)

Will set the values of the items attributes to the given values in the dictionary. Attributes beginning with “_” are considred private and are ignored.

This function will not handle saving the changed data. This can be by either calling the save method of the item, or automatically at the transactions end if autocommit is enabled.

Please note that setting the values for foreign key attributes might not work as expected. This is especially true for foreign keys to already existing items. You are not able to change a existing relation in the items by changing the foreign key value (You must do this by setting the related item). In this case the value for the foreign key seems to be ignored and replaced by the one of the actual related item. In contrast you can set a new relation by setting the foreign key if this is a new relation.

Values:Dictionary with values to be set

save(data, request=None)

Will save the given data into the item. If the current item has no value for the id attribute it is assumed that this item must be added to the database as a new item. In this case you need to provide a dbsession as the new item is not linked to any dbsession yet.

Please note, that you must ensure that the submitted values are validated. This function does no validation on the submitted data.

Data:Dictionary with key value pairs. Request:Current request session. Used when saving new items. Returns:item with new data.

Statemachine

class ringo.model.statemachine.Statemachine(item, item_state_attr, init_state=None, request=None)

A state machine, is a mathematical model of computation used to design sequential logic circuits for items of a module. It is conceived as an abstract machine that can be in one of a finite number of states. The machine is in only one state at a time; the state it is in at any given time is called the current state. It can change from one state to another when initiated by a triggering event or condition; this is called a transition.

__init__(item, item_state_attr, init_state=None, request=None)

Initialise the statemachine for the given item.

Item:Attach the state machine to this BaseItem Item_state_attr:  name of the attribute which store the value of

the current state of the statemachine in the given item. :init_state: Initialize the statemachine with an alternative state. (Not the value coming from item_state_attr) :request: Current request.

setup()

Need to be implemented in the inherited class.

Example:

s1 = State(self, 1, "On")
s2 = State(self, 2, "Off")

s1.add_transition(s2, "Turn on", handler, condition)
s2.add_transition(s1, "Turn off", handler, condition)
return s1

all states. :returns: List of State objects.

set_state(state)

Will set the current state of the state machine

State:Id of the State or the State object to

be set as current state :returns: None

get_state()

Returns the current state of the Statemachine

Returns:Current State

class ringo.model.statemachine.State(statemachine, id, label, description=None, disabled_actions={})

A single state in a statemachine.

__init__(statemachine, id, label, description=None, disabled_actions={})

Initialise the State

Statemachine:Statemachine Id:Id of the state Label:Label of the Statemachine (short description) Description:Long description of the state. Disabled_actions:  Dictionary with a list of actions which are

disabled for a role. {‘rolename’: [‘read’, ‘update’]}

add_transition(to_state, label=None, handler=None, condition=None)

To_state:End state of the transition Label:Label of the transition. Is usually a verb. Handler:TransitionHandler which will be called if the state has been changed Condition:TransitionCondition which must be true to make the transition available Returns:None

get_disabled_actions(role)

Returns a list of disabled actions of the state for the given role

Returns:List of disabled actions

get_transitions(ignore_checks=False)

Returns the available transitions to other states.

Ignore_checks:Do not check if a transition is avaible. Return

all available transitions. :returns: List of Transition objects.

class ringo.model.statemachine.Transition(start_state, end_state, label=None, handler=None, condition=None)

A transitions is used to switch from one state into another. The two states are called start state and end state where the end state is the state of the state machine after the transtions has been done.

Every transtion can have a handler and a condition. The handler can be used to add some logic which should be trigger after the transition has been finished. The handler is a simple callable which is called with the item of the state machine.

The condition is also a callable and can be used to restrict the availability to whatever want. The function is called with the item of the state machine and returns true or false. If the condition returns true then a transition is available.

__init__(start_state, end_state, label=None, handler=None, condition=None)

Creates a transition between to states.

Start_state:Start State of the transition End_state:End of the transition Handler:TransitionHandler which will be called if the state has been changed Condition:TransitionCondition which must be true to make the transition available

get_start()

Returns the start state of the transition

Returns:Start State

get_end()

Returns the end state of the transition

Returns:Label of the State

exchange()

Do the transition! Exchanges the start state to the end state.

Returns:End State of the transtion.

is_available()

Check is the transition is available for the item in the statemachine. The function will call the condition function with the item of the statemachine. It returns true if the state is available (check succeeds) and returns False if the conditions for a state change are not met.

class ringo.model.statemachine.TransitionHandler

Handler callable which will be called if the transition between to State objects has been finished.

class ringo.model.statemachine.TransitionCondition

Condition callable which must be true to make the Transition between two State objects applicable.

Lib

Security

ringo.lib.security.has_permission(permission, context, request)

Wrapper for pyramid’s buitin has_permission function. This wrapper sets dynamically the __acl__ attribute of the given context and then . check if the user has the given permission in the current context using pyramid’s has_permission function.

Context can be: * Instance of BaseItem * Subclass of BaseItem * Ressource, built from a RessourceFactory

If context is an instance or subclass of BaseItem the wrapper will dynamically set the __acl__ attribute. This attribute is used by the pyramid’s has_permission function the check the permission. If the context is a resource the function does nothing as the resource already has the __acl__ attribute set.

If the user has the permission the it returns True, else False (Actually it returns a boolean like object, see pyramids has_permission doc for more details.)

Permission:String. Name of the permission. E.g list, create, read Context:Either Resource, Instance of BaseItem or Subclass of BaseItem Request:current request Returns:True or False (Boolean like object)

ringo.lib.security.get_permissions(modul, item=None)

Will return a list permissions attached to the modul and optionally to particular item of the modul. The returned list is suitable for using it as ACL in pyramid’s authorization system. The function will at least return class based permissions. If a item is provided then additional item level permissions are returned.

The function will iterate over all available actions of the given modul and tries to adds a permission entry to the for every role which has granted access to the action.

For every role it will check the following things:

1. If the role is marked as “administrational” role, then add the permission for role and action.
2. Elif action is either “list” or “create” (permissons on class level) then add the permission for the role and action.
3. Elif an item is provided add item level permissions for the role _and_ only the owner or users which are member of the items group.

Model:The modul for which the permissions are returned Item:Optional: Item of the model for which the permissons as returned Returns:List of permissions

ringo.lib.security.get_principals(userid, request)

Returns a list of pricipals for the user with userid for the given request.

Principals are basically strings naming the groups or roles the user have. Example: role:admin or group:users are typical principals.

Userid:id of the user Request:current request Returns:list with pricipals

ringo.lib.security.has_role(user, role)

Return True if the user has the given role. Else False” :user: User instance :returns: True or False

ringo.lib.security.get_roles(user)

Returns a list of roles the user has. The list contains Role object and are collected by loading roles directly attached to the user plus roles attached to the groups the user is member of

User:User instance Returns:List of Role instances

ringo.lib.security.has_group(user, group)

Return True if the user is in the the given group. Else False” :user: User instance :returns: True or False
