The meanings of these arguments are the same as the arguments passed to
:meth:`pyramid.config.Configurator.add_view`.
- Any individual or all parameters can be omitted. The simplest
- :class:`pyramid.view.view_config` declaration is::
-
- @view_config()
- def my_view(...):
- ...
-
- Such a registration implies that the view name will be
- ``my_view``, registered for any :term:`context` object, using no
- permission, registered against all non-URL-dispatch-based
- requests, with any ``REQUEST_METHOD``, any set of request.params
- values, without respect to any object in the :term:`lineage`.
-
- The ``view_config`` decorator can also be used as a class decorator
- in Python 2.6 and better (Python 2.5 and below do not support
- class decorators)::
-
- from pyramid.response import Response
- from pyramid.view import view_config
-
- @view_config()
- class MyView(object):
- def __init__(self, context, request):
- self.context = context
- self.request = request
- def __call__(self):
- return Response('hello from %s!' % self.context)
-
- In Python 2.5 and below, the ``view_config`` decorator can still be
- used against a class, although not in decorator form::
-
- from pyramid.response import Response
- from pyramid.view import view_config
-
- class MyView(object):
- def __init__(self, context, request):
- self.context = context
- self.request = request
- def __call__(self):
- return Response('hello from %s!' % self.context)
-
- MyView = view_config()(MyView)
-
- .. note:: When a view is a class, the calling semantics are
- different than when it is a function or another
- non-class callable. See :ref:`class_as_view` for more
- information.
-
- The ``view_config`` decorator can also be used against a class
- method::
-
- from pyramid.response import Response
- from pyramid.view import view_config
-
- class MyView(object):
- def __init__(self, context, request):
- self.context = context
- self.request = request
-
- @view_config(name='hello')
- def amethod(self):
- return Response('hello from %s!' % self.context)
-
- When the ``view_config`` decorator is used against a class method,
- a view is registered for the *class* (as described above), so the
- class constructor must accept either ``request`` or ``context,
- request``. The method which is decorated must return a response
- (or rely on a :term:`renderer` to generate one). Using the
- decorator against a particular method of a class is equivalent to
- using the ``attr`` parameter in a decorator attached to the class
- itself. For example, the above registration implied by the
- decorator being used against the ``amethod`` method could be
- spelled equivalently as::
-
- from pyramid.response import Response
- from pyramid.view import view_config
-
- @view_config(attr='amethod', name='hello')
- class MyView(object):
- def __init__(self, context, request):
- self.context = context
- self.request = request
-
- def amethod(self):
- return Response('hello from %s!' % self.context)
-
- To make use of any ``view_config`` declaration, you must perform a
- :term:`scan`. To do so, insert the following into your Pyramid
- application's ``main`` stanza::
-
- config.scan()
+ See :ref:`mapping_views_using_a_decorator_section` for details about
+ using :class:`view_config`.
