Interfaces

This package defines several basic interfaces.

IView

Views adapt both a context and a request.

There is not much we can test except that IView is importable and an interface:

>>> from zope.interface import Interface
>>> from zope.browser.interfaces import IView
>>> Interface.providedBy(IView)
True

interface zope.browser.interfaces.IView[source]: Views are multi-adapters for context and request objects.

IBrowserView

Browser views are views specialized for requests from a browser (e.g., as distinct from WebDAV, FTP, XML-RPC, etc.).

There is not much we can test except that IBrowserView is importable and an interface derived from IView:

>>> from zope.interface import Interface
>>> from zope.browser.interfaces import IBrowserView
>>> Interface.providedBy(IBrowserView)
True
>>> IBrowserView.extends(IView)
True

interface zope.browser.interfaces.IBrowserView[source]

Extends: zope.browser.interfaces.IView

Views which are specialized for requests from a browser

Such views are distinct from those geerated via WebDAV, FTP, XML-RPC, etc.

IAdding

Adding views manage how newly-created items get added to containers.

There is not much we can test except that IAdding is importable and an interface derived from IBrowserView:

>>> from zope.interface import Interface
>>> from zope.browser.interfaces import IAdding
>>> Interface.providedBy(IBrowserView)
True
>>> IAdding.extends(IBrowserView)
True

interface zope.browser.interfaces.IAdding[source]

Extends: zope.browser.interfaces.IBrowserView

Multi-adapter interface for views which add items to containers.

The ‘context’ of the view must implement zope.container.interfaces.IContainer.

ITerms

The ITerms interface is used as a base for ISource widget implementations. This interfaces get used by zope.app.form and was initially defined in zope.app.form.browser.interfaces, which made it impossible to use for other packages like z3c.form wihtout depending on zope.app.form.

Moving such base components / interfaces to zope.browser makes it possible to share them without undesirable dependencies.

There is not much we can test except that ITerms is importable and an interface:

>>> from zope.interface import Interface
>>> from zope.browser.interfaces import ITerms
>>> Interface.providedBy(ITerms)
True

interface zope.browser.interfaces.ITerms[source]: Adapter providing lookups for vocabulary terms.

ISystemErrorView

Views providing this interface can classify their contexts as system errors. These errors can be handled in a special way (e. g. more detailed logging).

There is not much we can test except that ISystemErrorView is importable and an interface:

>>> from zope.interface import Interface
>>> from zope.browser.interfaces import ISystemErrorView
>>> Interface.providedBy(ISystemErrorView)
True

interface zope.browser.interfaces.ISystemErrorView[source]: Error views that can classify their contexts as system errors
