"""The ``ajaxcontroller`` module defines the :class:`AjaxController`
controller and the ``ajax-funcs`` cubicweb registry.

.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.views.ajaxcontroller.AjaxController
   :members:

``ajax-funcs`` registry hosts exposed remote functions, that is
functions that can be called from the javascript world.

To register a new remote function, either decorate your function
with the :ref:`cubicweb.web.views.ajaxcontroller.ajaxfunc` decorator:

.. sourcecode:: python

    from cubicweb.predicates import mactch_user_groups
    from cubicweb.web.views.ajaxcontroller import ajaxfunc

    @ajaxfunc(output_type='json', selector=match_user_groups('managers'))
    def list_users(self):
        return [u for (u,) in self._cw.execute('Any L WHERE U login L')]

or inherit from :class:`cubicwbe.web.views.ajaxcontroller.AjaxFunction` and
implement the ``__call__`` method:

.. sourcecode:: python

    from cubicweb.web.views.ajaxcontroller import AjaxFunction
    class ListUser(AjaxFunction):
        __regid__ = 'list_users' # __regid__ is the name of the exposed function
        __select__ = match_user_groups('managers')
        output_type = 'json'

        def __call__(self):
            return [u for (u, ) in self._cw.execute('Any L WHERE U login L')]
