lino.core.model¶

Defines the Model class.

See About database models, Customize delete behaviour, Disable elements of the user interface, Hiding individual fields, Customize how data is formatted

Functions

pre_delete_handler(sender[, instance])

Before actually deleting an object, we override Django's behaviour concerning related objects via a GFK field.

Classes

Model(*args, **kwargs)

Lino's extension of the plain Django Model class.

class lino.core.model.Model(*args, **kwargs)¶

Bases: Model, TableRow

Lino's extension of the plain Django Model class.

full_clean()¶: This is defined by Django.

active_fields = frozenset({})¶: Deprecated. If specified, this is the default value for active_fields of every Table on this model.

workflow_state_field = None¶: If this is set on a Model, then it will be used as default value for workflow_state_field of all tables based on this Model.

workflow_owner_field = None¶: If this is set on a Model, then it will be used as default value for lino.core.table.Table.workflow_owner_field on all tables based on this Model.

change_watcher_spec = None¶: Internally used by watch_changes()

classmethod collect_virtual_fields()¶

Declare every virtual field defined on this model to Django.

We use Django's undocumented add_field() method.

Make a copy if the field is inherited, in order to avoid side effects like #2592.

Raise an exception if the model defines both a database field and a virtual field of same name.

delete(**kw)¶: Double-check to avoid "murder bug" (20150623).

classmethod define_action(**kw)¶

Adds one or several actions or other class attributes to this model.

Attributes must be specified using keyword arguments, the specified keys must not yet exist on the model.

Used e.g. in lino_xl.lib.cal to add the UpdateReminders action to :class: lino.modlib.users.models.User.

Or in lino_xl.lib.invoicing.models for defining a custom chooser.

classmethod add_param_filter(qs, lookup_prefix='', **kwargs)¶

Add filters to queryset using table parameter fields.

This is called for every simple parameter.

Usage examples: DeploymentsByTicket, lino_book.projects.min3.lib.contacts.

classmethod lookup_or_create(lookup_field, value, **known_values)¶

Look up whether there is a model instance having lookup_field with value value (and optionally other known_values matching exactly).

If it doesn't exist, create it and emit an auto_create signal.

classmethod quick_search_filter(search_text, prefix='')¶: Return the filter expression to apply when a quick search text is specified.

save_new_instance(ar)¶: Save this instance and fire related behaviour.

get_row_permission(ar, state, ba)¶: Returns True or False whether this database object gives permission to the ActionRequest ar to run the specified action.

get_mailable_recipients()¶: Return or yield a list of (type,partner) tuples to be used as recipents when creating an outbox.Mail from this object.

get_postable_recipients()¶: Return or yield a list of Partners to be used as recipents when creating a posting.Post from this object.

before_state_change(ar, old, new)¶: Called by set_workflow_state() before a state change.

after_state_change(ar, old, new)¶: Called by set_workflow_state() after a state change.

set_workflow_state(ar, state_field, target_state)¶: Called by workflow actions (ChangeStateAction) to perform the actual state change.

after_send_mail(mail, ar, kw)¶: Called when an outbox email controlled by self has been sent (i.e. when the lino_xl.lib.outbox.models.SendMail action has successfully completed).

property haystack_rendered_field¶

Used by haystack.indexes.SearchIndex.

Haystack stores the value from this property in the search engine backend along with the document so that there's no need to make a database query and show this value as the search result.

get_typed_instance(model)¶: Used when implementing Polymorphism.

classmethod get_request_queryset(ar, **filter)¶

Return the base queryset for tables on this object.

The optional filter keyword arguments, if present, are applied as additional filter. This is used only in UNION tables on abstract model mixins where filtering cannot be done after the join.

classmethod get_user_queryset(user, **filter)¶: Get the base queryset, used for user level row filtering in lino_xl.lib.tickets.Ticket

classmethod resolve_states(states)¶

Convert the given string states into a set of state objects.

The states specifier must be either a set containing state objects or a string containing a space-separated list of valid state names. If it is a string, convert it to the set.

classmethod add_picker(fldname)¶

Add a picker for the named choicelist field.

A picker is a virtual field that shows all the available choices in a way that you can click on them to change the underlying choicelist field's value. Functionally similar to a radio button, but causes immediate submit instead of waiting until the form gets submitted.

classmethod django2lino(model)¶: Inject Lino model methods into a pure Django model that does not inherit from lino.core.model.Model.

classmethod get_subclasses_graph()¶

Returns an internationalized graphviz directive representing the polymorphic forms of this model.

Usage example:

.. django2rst::

    with dd.translation.override('de'):
        contacts.Partner.print_subclasses_graph()

lino.core.model.pre_delete_handler(sender, instance=None, **kw)¶

Before actually deleting an object, we override Django's behaviour concerning related objects via a GFK field.

In Lino you can configure the cascading behaviour using allow_cascaded_delete.
