Nodes and Views: Building Website structure

Nodes
-----
-:class:`Node`\ s are the basic building blocks of a website using Philo. They define the URL hierarchy and connect each URL to a :class:`View` subclass instance which is used to generate an HttpResponse.
-
-.. class:: Node
-
- :class:`!Node` subclasses :class:`TreeEntity`. It defines the following additional methods and attributes:
-
- .. attribute:: view
-
- :class:`GenericForeignKey` to a non-abstract subclass of :class:`View`
-
- .. attribute:: accepts_subpath
-
- A property shortcut for :attr:`self.view.accepts_subpath <View.accepts_subpath>`
-
- .. method:: render_to_response(request[, extra_context=None])
-
- This is a shortcut method for :meth:`View.render_to_response`
-
- .. method:: get_absolute_url()
-
- As long as :mod:`philo.urls` is included somewhere in the urlpatterns, this will return the URL of this node. The returned value will always start and end with a slash.

Views

Abstract View Models
++++++++++++++++++++
-.. class:: View
-
- :class:`!View` is an abstract model that represents an item which can be "rendered", either in response to an :class:`HttpRequest` or as a standalone. It subclasses :class:`Entity`, and defines the following additional methods and attributes:
-
- .. attribute:: accepts_subpath
-
- Defines whether this View class can handle subpaths. Default: ``False``
-
- .. attribute:: nodes
-
- A generic relation back to nodes.
-
- .. method:: get_subpath(obj)
-
- If the view :attr:`accepts subpaths <.accepts_subpath>`, try to find a reversal for the given object using ``self`` as the urlconf. This method calls :meth:`~.get_reverse_params` with ``obj`` as the argument to find out the reversing parameters for that object.
- .. method:: get_reverse_params(obj)
-
- This method should return a ``view_name``, ``args``, ``kwargs`` tuple suitable for reversing a url for the given ``obj`` using ``self`` as the urlconf.
-
- .. method:: attributes_with_node(node)
-
- Returns a :class:`QuerySetMapper` using the :class:`node <Node>`'s attributes as a passthrough.
-
- .. method:: render_to_response(request[, extra_context=None])
-
- Renders the :class:`View` as an :class:`HttpResponse`. This will raise :const:`philo.exceptions.MIDDLEWARE_NOT_CONFIGURED` if the `request` doesn't have an attached :class:`Node`. This can happen if :class:`philo.middleware.RequestNodeMiddleware` is not in :setting:`settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES` or if it is not functioning correctly.
-
- :meth:`!render_to_response` will send the :obj:`view_about_to_render <philo.signals.view_about_to_render>` signal, then call :meth:`actually_render_to_response`, and finally send the :obj:`view_finished_rendering <philo.signals.view_finished_rendering>` signal before returning the ``response``.
-
- .. method:: actually_render_to_response(request[, extra_context=None])
-
- Concrete subclasses must override this method to provide the business logic for turning a ``request`` and ``extra_context`` into an :class:`HttpResponse`.

.. class:: MultiView
A choices tuple of redirect status codes (temporary or permanent).
- .. attribute:: target
+ .. attribute:: status_code
+
+ An :class:`IntegerField` which uses :attr:`STATUS_CODES` as its choices. Determines whether the redirect is considered temporary or permanent.
+
+ .. attribute:: target_node
+
+ An optional :class:`ForeignKey` to a :class:`Node`. If provided, that node will be used as the basis for the redirect.
+
+ .. attribute:: url_or_subpath
A :class:`CharField` which may contain an absolute or relative URL. This will be validated with :class:`philo.validators.RedirectValidator`.
- .. attribute:: status_code
+ .. attribute:: reversing_parameters
- An :class:`IntegerField` which uses :attr:`STATUS_CODES` as its choices. Determines whether the redirect is considered temporary or permanent.
+ A :class:`~philo.models.fields.JSONField` instance. If the value of :attr:`reversing_parameters` is not None, the :attr:`url_or_subpath` will be treated as the name of a view to be reversed. The value of :attr:`reversing_parameters` will be passed into the reversal as args if it is a list or as kwargs if it is a dictionary.
+
+ .. attribute:: target_url
+
+ Calculates and returns the target url based on the :attr:`target_node`, :attr:`url_or_subpath`, and :attr:`reversing_parameters`.
