[doc] get back baseviews documentation into the code, enhance it and reorganize the module accordingly
also properly deprecates SecondaryView as it should have been done a while ago.

"""abstract action classes for CubicWeb web client
Actions are typically displayed in an action box, but can also be used
in other parts of the interface (the user menu, the footer, etc.). The
'order', 'category' and 'title' class attributes control how the action will
be displayed. The 'submenu' attribute is only used for actions in the
action box.
The most important method from a developper point of view in the
:meth:'Action.url' method, which returns a URL on which the navigation
should directed to perform the action. There are two common ways of
writing that method:
* do nothing special and simply return a URL to the current rset with
a special view (with `self._cw.build_url(...)` for instance)
* define an inner function `callback_func(req, *args)` which will do
the work and call it through `self._cw.user_callback(callback_func,
args, msg)`: this method will return a URL which calls the inner
function, and displays the message in the web interface when the
callback has completed (and report any exception occuring in the
callback too)
Many examples of the first approach are available in :mod:`cubicweb.web.views.actions`.
Here is an example of the second approach:
.. sourcecode:: python
from cubicweb.web import action
class SomeAction(action.Action):
__regid__ = 'mycube_some_action'
title = _(some action)
__select__ = action.Action.__select__ & is_instance('TargetEntity')
def url(self):
if self.cw_row is None:
eids = [row[0] for row in self.cw_rset]
else:
eids = (self.cw_rset[self.cw_row][self.cw_col or 0],)
def do_action(req, eids):
for eid in eids:
entity = req.entity_from_eid(eid, 'TargetEntity')
entity.perform_action()
msg = self._cw._('some_action performed')
return self._cw.user_callback(do_action, (eids,), msg)
