"""This module contains table views, with the following features that may be
provided (depending on the used implementation):

* facets filtering
* pagination
* actions menu
* properly sortable content
* odd/row/hover line styles

The three main implementation are described below. Each implementation is
suitable for a particular case, but they each attempt to display tables that
looks similar.

.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.views.tableview.RsetTableView
   :members:

.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.views.tableview.EntityTableView
   :members:

.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.views.pyviews.PyValTableView
   :members:

All those classes are rendered using a *layout*:

.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.views.tableview.TableLayout
   :members:

There is by default only one table layout, using the 'table_layout' identifier,
that is referenced by table views
:attr:`cubicweb.web.views.tableview.TableMixIn.layout_id`.  If you want to
customize the look and feel of your table, you can either replace the default
one by yours, having multiple variants with proper selectors, or change the
`layout_id` identifier of your table to use your table specific implementation.

Notice you can gives options to the layout using a `layout_args` dictionary on
your class.

If you still can't find a view that suit your needs, you should take a look at the
class below that is the common abstract base class for the three views defined
above and implement your own class.

    the API described on :class:`TableMixIn` to feed the generated table.

    This layout behaviour may be customized using the following attributes /
    selection arguments:

    * `cssclass`, a string that should be used as HTML class attribute. Default
      to "listing".

    * `needs_css`, the CSS files that should be used together with this
      table. Default to ('cubicweb.tablesorter.css', 'cubicweb.tableview.css').

    * `needs_js`, the Javascript files that should be used together with this
      table. Default to ('jquery.tablesorter.js',)

    * `display_filter`, tells if the facets filter should be displayed when
      possible. Allowed values are:
      - `None`, don't display it
      - 'top', display it above the table
      - 'bottom', display it below the table

    * `display_actions`, tells if a menu for available actions should be
      displayed when possible (see two following options). Allowed values are:
      - `None`, don't display it
      - 'top', display it above the table
      - 'bottom', display it below the table

    * `hide_filter`, when true (the default), facets filter will be hidden by
      default, with an action in the actions menu allowing to show / hide it.

    * `show_all_option`, when true, a *show all results* link will be displayed
      below the navigation component.

    * `add_view_actions`, when true, actions returned by view.table_actions()
      will be included in the actions menu.

    * `header_column_idx`, if not `None`, should be a colum index or a set of
      column index where <th> tags should be generated instead of <td>

    """This table view accepts any non-empty rset. It uses introspection on the

    It is highly configurable and accepts a wealth of options, but take care to
    check what you're trying to achieve wouldn't be a job for the
    :class:`EntityTableView`. Basically the question is: does this view should
    be tied to the result set query's shape or no? If yes, than you're fine. If
    no, you should take a look at the other table implementation.

    The following class attributes may be used to control the table:

    * `finalvid`, a view identifier that should be called on final entities
      (e.g. attribute values). Default to 'final'.

    * `nonfinalvid`, a view identifier that should be called on
      entities. Default to 'incontext'.

    * `displaycols`, if not `None`, should be a list of rset's columns to be
      displayed.

    * `headers`, if not `None`, should be a list of headers for the table's
      columns.  `None` values in the list will be replaced by computed column
      names.

    * `cellvids`, if not `None`, should be a dictionary with table column index
      as key and a view identifier as value, telling the view that should be
      used in the given column.

    Notice `displaycols`, `headers` and `cellvids` may be specified at selection
    time but then the table won't have pagination and shouldn't be configured to
    display the facets filter nor actions (as they wouldn't behave as expected).

    renderer.
