Module reahl.web.interfaces

The interfaces for persisted classes that are needed by the core Reahl framework. Different implementations of the framework can be provided by implementing these.

UserSessionProtocol

class reahl.web.interfaces.UserSessionProtocol

A UserSession represents a potentially lengthy interaction of a particular user with the system.

classmethod for_current_session()

Returns a UserSession instance for the current user. If no UserSession is present for the current interaction yet this method should create one. If a UserSession does exist for the current interaction, this method returns the correct UserSession.

is_active()

Answers whether the session is still usable (instead of being expired due to inactivity).

is_secured()

Answers whether the interaction is currently done via a secure channel where applicable.

New in version 3.1.

set_last_activity_time()

Sets a timestamp on the UserSession to indicate when the last activity was detected relating to this interaction. UserSessions typically expire automatically if no activity is detected after some time.

get_interface_locale()

Answers a string identifying the currently selected locale.

classmethod get_or_create_session()

Returns a session, creating a new one if none can be determined. If one can be determined from the browser, that session is returned.

set_session_key(response)

Called at the end of a request loop to enable an implementation to save some identifying information to the response (such as setting a cookie with the ID of the current session).

classmethod initialise_web_session_on(context)

TODO

UserInputProtocol

class reahl.web.interfaces.UserInputProtocol

User input, typed as strings on a form is persisted using this class, for the current user’s session for use in a subsequent request. Used via web.persisted_userinput_class.

classmethod get_previously_entered_for_form(form, input_name, entered_input_type)

Returns the user input associated with the given reahl.web.ui.Form, as previously saved using input_name as name.

Changed in version 4.0: Added entered_input_type

classmethod save_input_value_for_form(form, input_name, value, entered_input_type)

Persists value as the value of the user input associated with the given reahl.web.ui.Form, using input_name as name.

Changed in version 4.0: Added entered_input_type

PersistedExceptionProtocol

class reahl.web.interfaces.PersistedExceptionProtocol

When a reahl.component.exceptions.DomainException happens during Form submission, the exception is persisted using this class, for the current user’s session for use in a subsequent request. Used via web.persisted_exception_class.

classmethod get_exception_for_form(form)

Retrieves an exception previously saved for the given reahl.web.ui.Form, or None if not found.

classmethod get_exception_for_input(form, input_name)

Retrieves an exception previously saved for the given reahl.web.ui.Form and input_name or None if not found.

classmethod clear_for_all_inputs(form)

Removes all saved Exceptions associated with the given reahl.web.ui.Form.

PersistedFileProtocol

class reahl.web.interfaces.PersistedFileProtocol

When a file is uploaded, file is persisted using this class, for the current user’s session for use in a subsequent request. Used via web.persisted_file_class.

file_obj

Returns an object with traditional .read and .seek methods which can be used to read the contents of the persisted file.

classmethod clear_for_form(form)

Removes all files previously saved for the given reahl.web.ui.Form.

classmethod get_persisted_for_form(form, input_name)

Returns the previously persisted file for the given reahl.web.ui.Form, using the given input_name as name.

classmethod add_persisted_for_form(form, input_name, uploaded_file)

Saves the given uploaded_file (a cgi.FileStorage) using the given input_name for the given reahl.web.ui.Form.

classmethod remove_persisted_for_form(form, input_name, filename)

Removes previously persisted file with name filename, as saved for the given reahl.web.ui.Form and input_name.

classmethod is_uploaded_for_form(form, input_name, filename)

Answers whether a file with name filename has previously been saved for the given reahl.web.ui.Form and input_name.
