Template helpers

class gluon.html.A(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

Generates an A() link. A() in web2py is really important and with the included web2py.js allows lots of Ajax interactions in the page

On top of “usual” _attributes, it takes

Parameters:
  • callback – an url to call but not redirect to
  • cid – if you want to load the _href into an element of the page (component) pass its id (without the #) here
  • delete – element to delete after calling callback
  • target – same thing as cid
  • confirm – text to display upon a callback with a delete
  • noconfirm – don’t display alert upon a callback with delete
tag = 'a'
xml()[source]

generates the xml for this component.

gluon.html.ASSIGNJS(**kargs)[source]

Example

ASSIGNJS(var1=‘1’, var2=‘2’) will return the following javascript variables assignations :

var var1 = “1”; var var2 = “2”;
Parameters:**kargs – Any keywords arguments and assigned values.
Returns:Javascript vars assignations for the key/value passed.
class gluon.html.B(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

tag = 'b'
class gluon.html.BEAUTIFY(component, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

Turns any list, dictionary, etc into decent looking html.

Two special attributes are

  • sorted: a function that takes the dict and returned sorted keys
  • keyfilter: a function that takes a key and returns its representation or None if the key is to be skipped. By default key[:1]==’_’ is skipped.

Examples:

>>> BEAUTIFY(['a', 'b', {'hello': 'world'}]).xml()
'<div><table><tr><td><div>a</div></td></tr><tr><td><div>b</div></td></tr><tr><td><div><table><tr><td style="font-weight:bold;vertical-align:top;">hello</td><td style="vertical-align:top;">:</td><td><div>world</div></td></tr></table></div></td></tr></table></div>'
static no_underscore(key)[source]
tag = 'div'
class gluon.html.BODY(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

tag = 'body'
class gluon.html.BR(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

tag = 'br/'
class gluon.html.BUTTON(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

tag = 'button'
class gluon.html.CENTER(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

tag = 'center'
class gluon.html.CAT(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

tag = ''
class gluon.html.CODE(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

Displays code in HTML with syntax highlighting.

Parameters:
  • language – indicates the language, otherwise PYTHON is assumed
  • link – can provide a link
  • styles – for styles

Examples:

{{=CODE(“print ‘hello world’”, language=’python’, link=None,
counter=1, styles={}, highlight_line=None)}}

supported languages are

“python”, “html_plain”, “c”, “cpp”, “web2py”, “html”

The “html” language interprets {{ and }} tags as “web2py” code, “html_plain” doesn’t.

if a link=’/examples/global/vars/’ is provided web2py keywords are linked to the online docs.

the counter is used for line numbering, counter can be None or a prompt string.

xml()[source]

generates the xml for this component.

class gluon.html.COL(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

tag = 'col/'
class gluon.html.COLGROUP(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

tag = 'colgroup'
class gluon.html.DIV(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.XmlComponent

HTML helper, for easy generating and manipulating a DOM structure. Little or no validation is done.

Behaves like a dictionary regarding updating of attributes. Behaves like a list regarding inserting/appending components.

Examples:

>>> DIV('hello', 'world', _style='color:red;').xml()
'<div style="color:red;">helloworld</div>'

All other HTML helpers are derived from DIV.

_something=”value” attributes are transparently translated into something=”value” HTML attributes

append(value)[source]

list style appending of components

Examples:

>>> a=DIV()
>>> a.append(SPAN('x'))
>>> print a
<div><span>x</span></div>
element(*args, **kargs)[source]

Finds the first component that matches the supplied attribute dictionary, or None if nothing could be found

Also the components of the components are searched.

elements(*args, **kargs)[source]

Find all components that match the supplied attribute dictionary, or None if nothing could be found

All components of the components are searched.

Examples:

>>> a = DIV(DIV(SPAN('x'),3,DIV(SPAN('y'))))
>>> for c in a.elements('span', first_only=True): c[0]='z'
>>> print a
<div><div><span>z</span>3<div><span>y</span></div></div></div>
>>> for c in a.elements('span'): c[0]='z'
>>> print a
<div><div><span>z</span>3<div><span>z</span></div></div></div>

It also supports a syntax compatible with jQuery

Examples:

>>> a=TAG('<div><span><a id="1-1" u:v=$>hello</a></span><p class="this is a test">world</p></div>')
>>> for e in a.elements('div a#1-1, p.is'): print e.flatten()
hello
world
>>> for e in a.elements('#1-1'): print e.flatten()
hello
>>> a.elements('a[u:v=$]')[0].xml()
'<a id="1-1" u:v="$">hello</a>'
>>> a=FORM( INPUT(_type='text'), SELECT(range(1)), TEXTAREA() )
>>> for c in a.elements('input, select, textarea'): c['_disabled'] = 'disabled'
>>> a.xml()
'<form action="#" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"><input disabled="disabled" type="text" /><select disabled="disabled"><option value="0">0</option></select><textarea cols="40" disabled="disabled" rows="10"></textarea></form>'

Elements that are matched can also be replaced or removed by specifying a “replace” argument (note, a list of the original matching elements is still returned as usual).

Examples:

>>> a = DIV(DIV(SPAN('x', _class='abc'), DIV(SPAN('y', _class='abc'), SPAN('z', _class='abc'))))
>>> b = a.elements('span.abc', replace=P('x', _class='xyz'))
>>> print a  # We should .xml() here instead of print
<div><div><p class="xyz">x</p><div><p class="xyz">x</p><p class="xyz">x</p></div></div></div>

“replace” can be a callable, which will be passed the original element and should return a new element to replace it.

Examples:

>>> a = DIV(DIV(SPAN('x', _class='abc'), DIV(SPAN('y', _class='abc'), SPAN('z', _class='abc'))))
>>> b = a.elements('span.abc', replace=lambda el: P(el[0], _class='xyz'))
>>> print a
<div><div><p class="xyz">x</p><div><p class="xyz">y</p><p class="xyz">z</p></div></div></div>

If replace=None, matching elements will be removed completely.

Examples:

>>> a = DIV(DIV(SPAN('x', _class='abc'), DIV(SPAN('y', _class='abc'), SPAN('z', _class='abc'))))
>>> b = a.elements('span', find='y', replace=None)
>>> print a
<div><div><span class="abc">x</span><div><span class="abc">z</span></div></div></div>

If a “find_text” argument is specified, elements will be searched for text components that match find_text, and any matching text components will be replaced (find_text is ignored if “replace” is not also specified). Like the “find” argument, “find_text” can be a string or a compiled regex.

Examples:

>>> a = DIV(DIV(SPAN('x', _class='abc'), DIV(SPAN('y', _class='abc'), SPAN('z', _class='abc'))))
>>> b = a.elements(find_text=re.compile('x|y|z'), replace='hello')
>>> print a
<div><div><span class="abc">hello</span><div><span class="abc">hello</span><span class="abc">hello</span></div></div></div>

If other attributes are specified along with find_text, then only components that match the specified attributes will be searched for find_text.

Examples:

>>> a = DIV(DIV(SPAN('x', _class='abc'), DIV(SPAN('y', _class='efg'), SPAN('z', _class='abc'))))
>>> b = a.elements('span.efg', find_text=re.compile('x|y|z'), replace='hello')
>>> print a
<div><div><span class="abc">x</span><div><span class="efg">hello</span><span class="abc">z</span></div></div></div>
flatten(render=None)[source]

Returns the text stored by the DIV object rendered by the render function the render function must take text, tagname, and attributes render=None is equivalent to render=lambda text, tag, attr: text

Examples:

>>> markdown = lambda text, tag=None, attributes={}:                         {None: re.sub('\s+',' ',text),                          'h1':'#'+text+'\n\n',                          'p':text+'\n'}.get(tag,text)
>>> a=TAG('<h1>Header</h1><p>this is a     test</p>')
>>> a.flatten(markdown)
'#Header\n\nthis is a test\n'
get(i)[source]
insert(i, value)[source]

List-style inserting of components

Examples:

>>> a=DIV()
>>> a.insert(0, SPAN('x'))
>>> print a
<div><span>x</span></div>
regex_attr = <_sre.SRE_Pattern object>
regex_class = <_sre.SRE_Pattern object>
regex_id = <_sre.SRE_Pattern object>
regex_tag = <_sre.SRE_Pattern object>
sibling(*args, **kargs)[source]

Finds the first sibling component that match the supplied argument list and attribute dictionary, or None if nothing could be found

tag = 'em'
class gluon.html.EMBED(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

tag = 'embed/'
class gluon.html.FIELDSET(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

tag = 'fieldset'
class gluon.html.FORM(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

Examples:

>>> from validators import IS_NOT_EMPTY
>>> form=FORM(INPUT(_name="test", requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()))
>>> form.xml()
'<form action="#" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"><input name="test" type="text" /></form>'

a FORM is container for INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and other helpers

form has one important method:

form.accepts(request.vars, session)

if form is accepted (and all validators pass) form.vars contains the accepted vars, otherwise form.errors contains the errors. in case of errors the form is modified to present the errors to the user.

REDIRECT_JS = "window.location='%s';return false"
accepts(request_vars, session=None, formname='default', keepvalues=False, onvalidation=None, hideerror=False, **kwargs)[source]

kwargs is not used but allows to specify the same interface for FORM and SQLFORM

add_button(value, url, _class=None)[source]
as_dict(flat=False, sanitize=True)[source]

EXPERIMENTAL

Sanitize is naive. It should catch any unsafe value for client retrieval.

as_json(sanitize=True)[source]
as_xml(sanitize=True)[source]
as_yaml(sanitize=True)[source]
assert_status(status, request_vars)[source]
static confirm(text='OK', buttons=None, hidden=None)[source]
hidden_fields()[source]
process(**kwargs)[source]

Perform the .validate() method but returns the form

Usage in controllers:

# directly on return
def action():
    #some code here
    return dict(form=FORM(...).process(...))

You can use it with FORM, SQLFORM or FORM based plugins:

# response.flash messages
def action():
    form = SQLFORM(db.table).process(message_onsuccess='Sucess!')
    return dict(form=form)

# callback function
# callback receives True or False as first arg, and a list of args.
def my_callback(status, msg):
    response.flash = "Success! "+msg if status else "Errors occured"

# after argument can be 'flash' to response.flash messages
# or a function name to use as callback or None to do nothing.
def action():
    return dict(form=SQLFORM(db.table).process(onsuccess=my_callback)
tag = 'form'
validate(**kwargs)[source]

This function validates the form, you can use it instead of directly form.accepts.

Usage: In controller:

def action():
    form=FORM(INPUT(_name="test", requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()))
    form.validate() #you can pass some args here - see below
    return dict(form=form)

This can receive a bunch of arguments

onsuccess = ‘flash’ - will show message_onsuccess in response.flash
None - will do nothing can be a function (lambda form: pass)
onfailure = ‘flash’ - will show message_onfailure in response.flash
None - will do nothing can be a function (lambda form: pass)
onchange = ‘flash’ - will show message_onchange in response.flash
None - will do nothing can be a function (lambda form: pass)

message_onsuccess message_onfailure message_onchange next = where to redirect in case of success any other kwargs will be passed for form.accepts(…)

INPUT Component

Takes two special attributes value= and requires=.

Parameters:
  • value – used to pass the initial value for the input field. value differs from _value because it works for checkboxes, radio, textarea and select/option too. For a checkbox value should be ‘’ or ‘on’. For a radio or select/option value should be the _value of the checked/selected item.
  • requires – should be None, or a validator or a list of validators for the value of the field.

Examples:

>>> INPUT(_type='text', _name='name', value='Max').xml()
'<input name="name" type="text" value="Max" />'
>>> INPUT(_type='checkbox', _name='checkbox', value='on').xml()
'<input checked="checked" name="checkbox" type="checkbox" value="on" />'

generates a url ‘/a/c/f’ corresponding to application a, controller c and function f. If r=request is passed, a, c, f are set, respectively, to r.application, r.controller, r.function.

The more typical usage is:

URL(‘index’)

that generates a url for the index function within the present application and controller.

Parameters:
  • a – application (default to current if r is given)
  • c – controller (default to current if r is given)
  • f – function (default to current if r is given)
  • r – request (optional)
  • args – any arguments (optional). Additional “path” elements
  • vars – any variables (optional). Querystring elements
  • anchor – anchorname, without # (optional)
  • extension – force an extension
  • hmac_key – key to use when generating hmac signature (optional)
  • hash_vars – which of the vars to include in our hmac signature True (default) - hash all vars, False - hash none of the vars, iterable - hash only the included vars [‘key1’,’key2’]
  • salt – salt hashing with this string
  • user_signature – signs automatically the URL in such way that only the user can access the URL (use with URL.verify or auth.requires_signature())
  • scheme – URI scheme (True, ‘http’ or ‘https’, etc); forces absolute URL (optional)
  • host – string to force absolute URL with host (True means http_host)
  • port – optional port number (forces absolute URL)
  • encode_embedded_slash – encode slash characters included in args
  • url_encode – encode characters included in vars
Raises:

SyntaxError – when no application, controller or function is available or when a CRLF is found in the generated url

Examples:

>>> str(URL(a='a', c='c', f='f', args=['x', 'y', 'z'],
...     vars={'p':1, 'q':2}, anchor='1'))

class gluon.html.XHTML(*components, **attributes)[source]

Bases: gluon.html.DIV

This is XHTML version of the HTML helper.

There are three predefined document type definitions. They can be specified in the ‘doctype’ parameter:

  • ‘strict’ enables strict doctype
  • ‘transitional’ enables transitional doctype (default)
  • ‘frameset’ enables frameset doctype
  • any other string will be treated as user’s own doctype

‘lang’ parameter specifies the language of the document and the xml document. Defaults to ‘en’.

‘xmlns’ parameter specifies the xml namespace. Defaults to ‘http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml’.
