""".. VRegistry:
The `VRegistry`
---------------
The `VRegistry` can be seen as a two level dictionary. It contains all objects
loaded dynamically to build a |cubicweb| application. Basically:
* first level key return a *registry*. This key corresponds to the `__registry__`
attribute of application object classes
* second level key return a list of application objects which share the same
identifier. This key corresponds to the `__regid__` attribute of application
object classes.
A *registry* hold a specific kind of application objects. You've for instance
a registry for entity classes, another for views, etc...
The `VRegistry` has two main responsibilities:
- being the access point to all registries
- handling the registration process at startup time, and during automatic
reloading in debug mode.
.. _AppObjectRecording:
Details of the recording process
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. index::
vregistry: registration_callback
On startup, |cubicweb| have to load application objects defined in its library
and in cubes used by the instance. Application objects from the library are
loaded first, then those provided by cubes are loaded in an ordered way (e.g. if
your cube depends on an other, objects from the dependancy will be loaded
first). Cube's modules or packages where appobject are looked at is explained in
:ref:`cubelayout`.
For each module:
* by default all objects are registered automatically
* if some objects have to replace other objects, or be included only if some
condition is true, you'll have to define a `registration_callback(vreg)`
function in your module and explicitly register **all objects** in this module,
using the api defined below.
.. Note::
Once the function `registration_callback(vreg)` is implemented in a module,
all the objects from this module have to be explicitly registered as it
disables the automatic objects registration.
API for objects registration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are the registration methods that you can use in the `registration_callback`
to register your objects to the `VRegistry` instance given as argument (usually
named `vreg`):
.. automethod:: cubicweb.cwvreg.CubicWebVRegistry.register_all
.. automethod:: cubicweb.cwvreg.CubicWebVRegistry.register_and_replace
.. automethod:: cubicweb.cwvreg.CubicWebVRegistry.register
.. automethod:: cubicweb.cwvreg.CubicWebVRegistry.register_if_interface_found
.. automethod:: cubicweb.cwvreg.CubicWebVRegistry.unregister
Examples:
.. sourcecode:: python
# web/views/basecomponents.py
def registration_callback(vreg):
# register everything in the module except SeeAlsoComponent
vreg.register_all(globals().values(), __name__, (SeeAlsoVComponent,))
# conditionally register SeeAlsoVComponent
if 'see_also' in vreg.schema:
vreg.register(SeeAlsoVComponent)
In this example, we register all application object classes defined in the module
except `SeeAlsoVComponent`. This class is then registered only if the 'see_also'
relation type is defined in the instance'schema.
.. sourcecode:: python
# goa/appobjects/sessions.py
def registration_callback(vreg):
vreg.register(SessionsCleaner)
# replace AuthenticationManager by GAEAuthenticationManager
vreg.register_and_replace(GAEAuthenticationManager, AuthenticationManager)
# replace PersistentSessionManager by GAEPersistentSessionManager
vreg.register_and_replace(GAEPersistentSessionManager, PersistentSessionManager)
In this example, we explicitly register classes one by one:
* the `SessionCleaner` class
* the `GAEAuthenticationManager` to replace the `AuthenticationManager`
* the `GAEPersistentSessionManager` to replace the `PersistentSessionManager`
If at some point we register a new appobject class in this module, it won't be
registered at all without modification to the `registration_callback`
implementation. The previous example will register it though, thanks to the call
to the `register_all` method.
.. _Selection:
Runtime objects selection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that we've all application objects loaded, the question is : when I want some
specific object, for instance the primary view for a given entity, how do I get
the proper object ? This is what we call the **selection mechanism**.
As explained in the :ref:`Concepts` section:
* each application object has a **selector**, defined by its `__select__` class attribute
* this selector is responsible to return a **score** for a given context
- 0 score means the object doesn't apply to this context
- else, the higher the score, the better the object suits the context
* the object with the higher score is selected.
.. Note::
When no score is higher than the others, an exception is raised in development
mode to let you know that the engine was not able to identify the view to
apply. This error is silenced in production mode and one of the objects with
the higher score is picked.
In such cases you would need to review your design and make sure your selectors
or appobjects are properly defined.
For instance, if you are selecting the primary (eg `__regid__ = 'primary'`) view (eg
`__registry__ = 'views'`) for a result set containing a `Card` entity, 2 objects
will probably be selectable:
* the default primary view (`__select__ = implements('Any')`), meaning
that the object is selectable for any kind of entity type
* the specific `Card` primary view (`__select__ = implements('Card')`,
meaning that the object is selectable for Card entities
Other primary views specific to other entity types won't be selectable in this
case. Among selectable objects, the implements selector will return a higher
score than the second view since it's more specific, so it will be selected as
expected.
.. _SelectionAPI:
API for objects selections
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the selection API you'll get on every registry. Some of them, as the
'etypes' registry, containing entity classes, extend it. In those methods,
`*args, **kwargs` is what we call the **context**. Those arguments are given to
selectors that will inspect there content and return a score accordingly.
.. automethod:: cubicweb.vregistry.Registry.select
.. automethod:: cubicweb.vregistry.Registry.select_or_none
.. automethod:: cubicweb.vregistry.Registry.possible_objects
.. automethod:: cubicweb.vregistry.Registry.object_by_id
