Définir l'interface utilisateur avec des vues
=============================================

`LAX` provides out-of-the-box a web interface that is generated from
the schema definition: entities can be created, displayed, updated and
deleted. As display views are not very fancy, it is usually necessary
to develop your own.


With `LAX`, views are defined by Python classes. A view includes :

- an identifier (all objects in `LAX` are entered in a registry
  and this identifier will be used as a key)
  
- a filter to select the resulsets it can be applied to

`LAX` provides a lot of standard views, for a complete list, you
will have to read the code in directory views (XXX improve doc).
For example, the view named ``primary`` is the one used to display
a single entity.

If you want to change the way a ``BlogEntry`` is displayed, just
override the view ``primary`` in ``BlogDemo/views.py`` ::

  from ginco.web.views import baseviews
  
  class BlogEntryPrimaryView(baseviews.PrimaryView):

      accepts = ('BlogEntry',)
      
      def cell_call(self, row, col):
          entity = self.entity(row, col)
          self.w(u'<h1>%s</h1>' % entity.title)
          self.w(u'<div>%s</div>' % entity.publish_date)
          self.w(u'<div>%s</div>' % entity.category)
          self.w(u'<div>%s</div>' entity.content)
