"""This module provide highlevel helpers to avoid uicfg boilerplate
for most common tasks such as fields ordering, widget customization, etc.
Here are a few helpers to customize *action box* rendering:
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.append_to_addmenu
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.remove_from_addmenu
and a few other ones for *form configuration*:
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.set_fields_order
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.hide_field
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.hide_fields
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.set_field_kwargs
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.set_field
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.edit_inline
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.edit_as_attr
.. autofunction:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.set_muledit_editable
The module also provides a :class:`FormConfig` base class that lets you gather
uicfg declaration in the scope of a single class, which can sometimes
be clearer to read than a bunch of sequential function calls.
.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.uihelper.FormConfig

In all descriptions below, attributes list can either be a list of
attribute names of a list of 2-tuples (relation name, role of
the edited entity in the relation).
**Attributes**
:attr:`etype`
which entity type the form config is for. This attribute is **mandatory**
:attr:`formtype`
the formtype the class tries toc customize (i.e. *main*, *inlined*, or *muledit*),
default is *main*.
:attr:`hidden`
the list of attributes or relations to hide.
:attr:`rels_as_attrs`
the list of attributes to edit in the *attributes* section.
:attr:`inlined`
the list of attributes to edit in the *inlined* section.
:attr:`fields_order`
the list of attributes to edit, in the desired order. Unspecified
fields will be displayed after specified ones, their order
being consistent with the schema definition.
:attr:`widgets`
a dictionary mapping attribute names to widget instances.
:attr:`fields`
a dictionary mapping attribute names to field instances.
:attr:`uicfg_afs`
an instance of ``cubicweb.web.uicfg.AutoformSectionRelationTags``
Default is None, meaning ``cubicweb.web.uicfg.autoform_section`` is used.
:attr:`uicfg_aff`
an instance of ``cubicweb.web.uicfg.AutoformFieldTags``
Default is None, meaning ``cubicweb.web.uicfg.autoform_field`` is used.
:attr:`uicfg_affk`
an instance of ``cubicweb.web.uicfg.AutoformFieldKwargsTags``
Default is None, meaning ``cubicweb.web.uicfg.autoform_field_kwargs`` is used.
