I'm new to play framework and I'm trying to separate my app into multiple, smaller modules. For instance, I want to have a header module and a sidebar module.
For now, I've created these modules and a page module, that will render each module into its right place.
Here's an example of a module code:
package controllers
import play.api.templates._
object SidebarService {
def getHTML() : Html = {
views.html.sidebar(name = "variable", repeat = 5)
}
}
Note that it is returning an Html object.
And here's an example of a page module
package controllers
import play.api._
import play.api.mvc._
object Application extends Controller {
def index = Action {
var sideBar = SidebarService.getHTML()
Ok(views.html.index(sideBar)("Your new application is ready."))
}
}
This works fine, but I'm a little bit confused on how to get module-specific Assets to be included in page module, e.g. sidebar module has specific css and javascript files that will be "included" (and minified) in the <head> tag of page module. First, am I going in the right direction for modularization? Secondly, how could I accomplish module-specific assets?
Any pointers would be great.
Regarding inclusion of module-specific assets, I guess you can always do something like:
package controllers
import play.api.templates._
object SidebarService {
def getAssets : Html = {
// your <link> and <script> tags here
}
def getBody : Html = {
views.html.sidebar(name = "variable", repeat = 5)
}
}
I suppose you're going to make something like PageService a trait with getAssets and getBody as abstract methods. Your approach for modularization seems OK. In order for the page to have an arbitrary number of modules, I guess I would pass as argument to views.html.index not only sideBar, but maybe a Map[String, PageService] containing the various modules identified by a string (or symbol, or any other thing you want) key, e.g. Map("header" -> HeaderService, "sidebar" -> SidebarService). That way, in the view, you can get all the assets for the modules you are using and lookup by the keys you defined to know what to draw in each placeholder.

I am using the playframework to render Asciidoc text from a file inside my view.
Since that content is used in my view, I want to be able to put it in the app/views so it gets packaged when deploying with activator dist.
Right now the files get lost after running activator dist. Because the content gets rendered by my view I don't want to put in in public/ or in app/assets.
My view looks versy simple:
#(html: String)(implicit flash: Flash, lang: Lang)
#main(Messages("application.name")){
#Html(html)
}
And my controller sends the String content to the view:
def about = Action { implicit request =>
Ok(views.html.statics.normal(Static.render_file("app/views/adoc/about.adoc")))
}
Where should I put this file? and how to I access it other than with the path from the root?
You can put "internal" documents in the conf folder, it's the equivalent to resources in standard sbt projects.
To access it, you'd use Play.resourceAsStream(). Note that this gives you an java.io.InputStream because your file will be part of the JAR created by activator dist.
Play.resourceAsStream("adoc/about.adoc") map { adocStream =>
Ok(views.html.statics.normal(Static.render_file(adocStream)))
} getOrElse (InternalServerError)
I'm attempting to write a Plone add-on that requires an "Add new" form. So far, I've managed to get this working very nicely using plone.directives.form.SchemaAddForm. I have the '##create-snippet' view registered in configure.zcml, and it works perfectly when I view the page normally.
However, the ultimate goal of this project is to get this add form into a TinyMCE popup window. I've created a working TinyMCE plugin for another, irrelevant portion of the add-on, and gotten that working well. However, when I try to navigate to my "##create-snippets" view in a tinyMCE window, I get:
LocationError: (Products.Five.metaclass.DirectoryResource2 object at 0x107162fd0, 'main_template')
My understanding of this issue is that, essentially, the SchemaAddForm class (or one of it's super classes, to be exact) wraps the form with the main Plone main_template when it renders the form. Since TinyMCE windows are their own, isolated little worlds, the template isn't available, and, therefore, cannot be rendered....or something like that? Please correct me if I'm way off.
What I really want to know, is if it's possible to set things up so only the form itself will render, without using the main_template? I would REALLY like to be able to take advantage of the schema-based forms (and their built-in validation), but still be able to keep everything within a TinyMCE window.
I've toyed around with creating my own ViewPageTemplateFile() template, and getting the form to render (somehow?) within it, but frankly, I have no idea how....or if that's even possible.
Please feel free to ask for more information if there's something I've omitted. I'm kinda new to this type of Plone development.
The code generating the form:
from Products.Five.browser import BrowserView
from uwosh.snippets.snippet import SnippetManager
from plone.directives.form import SchemaAddForm
import zope.interface
from plone.autoform.form import AutoExtensibleForm
import zope.schema
from plone.directives import form
import z3c
from Products.statusmessages.interfaces import IStatusMessage
_ = zope.i18nmessageid.MessageFactory(u'uwosh.snippets')
class ISnippet(form.Schema):
title = zope.schema.TextLine(
title=u'Title',
description=u'The title to associate with the snippet.',
required=True)
description = zope.schema.TextLine(
title=u'Description',
description=u'A short explanation of the snippet.',
required=True)
body = zope.schema.Text(
title=u'Body',
description=u'The actual content to be rendered on the page.',
required=True)
class SnippetForm(SchemaAddForm):
schema = ISnippet
#z3c.form.button.buttonAndHandler(_('Save'), name='save')
def handleAdd(self, action):
data, errors = self.extractData()
if errors:
self.status = self.formErrorsMessage
return
obj = self.createAndAdd(data)
if obj is not None:
# mark only as finished if we get the new object
self._finishedAdd = True
IStatusMessage(self.request).addStatusMessage(_(u"Snippet saved"), "info")
#z3c.form.button.buttonAndHandler(_(u'Cancel'), name='cancel')
def handleCancel(self, action):
IStatusMessage(self.request).addStatusMessage(_(u"Add New Snippet operation cancelled"), "info")
self.request.response.redirect(self.nextURL())
def create(self, data):
sm = SnippetManager()
#TODO:
#Include support for different folders from this form.
snippet = sm.createSnippet(data['title'], None ,data)
return snippet
def add(self, object):
#Since, for now, snippets are based upon ATDocuments, their creation is fairly staight-forward.
#So, we don't really need separate Add/Create steps.
return
def nextURL(self):
return self.context.absolute_url() + '/##create-snippet'
I am building an application using the Play! framework version 2.0.4. Some pages that are legally required such as an imprint mostly contain lots (some 10k each) of static text which I would like to provide in different languages.
In versions 1.x there was an #include directive that allowed to construct the actual resource path using the current Lang.
What is the recommended way of implementing sth similar with Play 2.x?
Thank you & best regards,
Erich
I'm not 100% certain how you implement it as of now, but here's what I've come up with.
You could just write your own include helper. Save the following in a file Helpers.scala in your views folder. Explanations are in the code's comments.
package views.html.helper
object include {
import play.api.templates.Html
import play.api.Play
import play.api.Play.current
import play.api.i18n._
// The default is to look in the public dir, but you can change it if necessary
def apply(filePath: String, rootDir: String = "public")(implicit lang: Lang): Html = {
// Split filePath at name and suffix to insert the language in between them
val (fileName, suffix) = filePath.splitAt(filePath.lastIndexOf("."))
// Retrieve the file with the current language, or as a fallback, without any suffix
val maybeFile =
Play.getExistingFile(rootDir + "/" + fileName + "_" + lang.language + suffix).
orElse(Play.getExistingFile(rootDir + "/" + filePath))
// Read the file's content and wrap it in HTML or return an error message
maybeFile map { file =>
val content = scala.io.Source.fromFile(file).mkString
Html(content)
} getOrElse Html("File Not Found")
}
}
Now in your imprint.scala.html you could call it like this:
#()(implicit lang: Lang)
#import helper._
#include("static/imprint.html")
Way showed by Schleichardt was used in play-authenticate to select mail templates in different languages and now it's changed to work with reflections on the controller, so maybe it can be interesting for you. Anyway it was intendent to keep standard templating possibilities (cause each mail need to be personalized before send)
For static info pages, you can just save the code for each language with suffix ie. impressum_en.html, impressum_de.html in the file system and use simple controller which will find file with proper suffix and return its content exactly as it is... all you need probably to return Ok(fileContent) and set the Content-Type manually to text/html.
Other option is doing the similar thing but storing it in the DB, so you can create simple back-end and edit it with browser.
If you still need to replace some elements, you can do it with some ###MARKER### in the code + simple String operations, or with JavaScript on the client side.
Templates in 2.0 work a bit differently. The Scala based templates are compiled. From one template instead of 'including' another, you can make a call to it. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by the language thing. In 2.0 though, a parameter to the template could be the language.
Example template named 'included' in package whateverpackage.
#(lang: Lang)
...
Example calling a template named 'included':
#import whateverpackage._
#included(Lang("en"))
#()(implicit lang: Lang)
#main(Messages("imprint")) {
#lang match {
case Lang("de", _) => { #germanImprint() #* uses app/views/germanImprint.scala.html file *#}
case _ => { #englishImprint() }
}
}
I'm writing a sort of dashboard-esque program in Python to make tasks that I do frequently here at work a little better/easier.
What I currently have set up is an actions module. actions contains an actionlist that is a list of classes. Each of my classes has a .title, .icon (base-64 encoded string for use with tkinter.PhotoImage), and a .action function.
Using tkinter I create a new button for each of these actions, with the appropriate icon, text, and the command of the button set to the .action. So far it works quite nicely, but if I want to create a new action, I have to go into my actions module, create a new class, and then put that class in my actionlist.
What I would like to do is be able to dynamically generate this actionlist based on what files are present in my module. So I would like to have something like this:
actions/
__init__.py
someaction.py
do_another_thing.py
do_all_the_things.py
chop_down_the_tree_with_a_herring.py
And whenever I would like to create a new action, I just put a .py script in my actions folder and then it would automagically generate the list of actions for me, however I can't seem to find any good way of creating this list. I've thought of using something like os.listdir to get the list of files, but neither that or the other methods of introspection (dir, and inspect.getmembers) seemed to have quite what I wanted. Of course, it's possible that I just missed the features that I need.
In any case, pointers in the right direction would be great. Thanks!
SOLUTION:
Lennart's solution, with some slight adaptations worked for me.
Inside my __init__.py I have the following code:
plugins = []
__all__ = [
'do_all_the_things',
'do_another_thing',
'someaction',
'chop_down_the_tree_with_a_herring',
'seek_the_grail',
]
Then inside each of my plugins I have something like this:
from actions import plugins
class SeekTheGrail:
def __init__(self):
self.text = 'We Seek The Grail'

def action(self):
print('I am Arthur, King of the Britons!')
plugins.append(SeekTheGrail())
and now I just have to modify the __all__ collection when I want to add or remove the actions from loading.
The way to create plugins is to have a plugin registry, and register plugins there. This can be done from the amazingly simple, like just defining a global list in a module:
plugins = []
And then registering the plugins with:
class APlugin(object):
blahblah
from themodule import plugins
plugin.add(APlugin())
This can be made more flexible by having types of plugins and registering them with a name etc. But then you are on the path to complexity, and then you might want to take a look at the Zope Component Architecture, which simply speaking is a very powerful system for making your application pluggable.
It should be noted that in any case it's best to have a list of what plugins should be activated instead of auto-discovering them. This can be as simple as a list in a text file or a setting in a config file. This enables you to easily activate and disactivate the plugins.
You can use something like this:
actions = {}
for filename in os.listdir('somepath/actions'):
actions[filename] = __import__('actions.'+filename)
for name,class in actions:
createButton(name,class)
Where in the createButton you create your tk_inter button and assign it the functions from the class. The important bit i suppose is that you can use __import__ to import a class using its string name and save it as a variable.
Has anyone tried to do a scala/lift application using MVC instead of view-first?
I know that you can create Controllers/views as:
package test.test.test.view
...
Lots of imports
...
class MvcRocks extends LiftView {
def dispatch = {
case "rule" => ruleDispatch _
case "bar" => barDispatch _
}
def barDispatch(): Box[NodeSeq] = {
Full(<lift:embed what="/mvc_rucks/bar" />)
}
}
And this code will be accessible if you add it to the menu(in the boot), even if its hidden as:
val entries = Menu(Loc("Home", List("index"), "Home")) ::
List(Menu(Loc("MvcRock", List("mvc_rocks", "bar"), "Mvc really Rocks", Hidden)))
LiftRules.setSiteMap(SiteMap(entries:_*))
Now, of course this will make it so, you declare every action in the menu, then have a case for each action(per controller) and that would open the "view" (that would be a file in /mvc_rucks/bar.html).
My question is, if you would implement a full mvc, you would need to put all your logic in the action barDispatch, but how would you send those variables to the HTML template? and how would you receive post/get information?
(Notice that if you html code has lift bindings, it will of course act as view-first, even after you did MVC before).
Since your question is not specific to Lift, I'd recommend you the Playframework. The version 1.1 supports Scala 2.8.
Playframework is totally MVC with a fantastic template engine and allows you to choose freely between java/scala.
And I say: To use Play, you don't need 'nuclear scientist knowledge'. Try it!
