From 80aa770ad2230f01611eb6f49080321faf77d9fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris McDonough Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2011 04:08:18 -0500 Subject: - add a ``add_view_mapper`` API to Configurator. This API allows you to add a named implementation of a ``pyramid.interfaces.IViewMapperFactory`` interface. Its name can be passed as a ``view_mapper`` argument to ``config.add_view``. A view mapper allows objects that are meant to be used as view callables to have an arbitrary argument list and an arbitrary result. This feature will be used by Pyramid extension developers, not by "civilians". - New constructor argument to Configurator: ``default_view_mapper``. Useful to create systems that have view callables with alternate default calling conventions. - ``view_mapper`` argument to ``add_view`` should now be a view mapper *name* rather than an implementation. - Add ``view_mapper`` argument to ``view_config`` decorator constructor. - Remove (non-API) function of config.py named _map_view. - Fix docstring for ``decorator`` argument to add_view. - Factor invocation of view mapper into a viewderiver method. - Promote view rendering and decorating into viewderiver, out of view mapper. - Make requestonly into a function rather than a method of the default view mapper. --- docs/glossary.rst | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'docs') diff --git a/docs/glossary.rst b/docs/glossary.rst index 49d273197..4d0c53d60 100644 --- a/docs/glossary.rst +++ b/docs/glossary.rst @@ -850,6 +850,11 @@ Glossary WSGI middleware which can display debuggable traceback information in the browser when an exception is raised by a Pyramid application.
