Households

type

The type of this household. See household types

create_household(cls, ar, head, partner, type)

Household types

There are different types of households.

class lino_xl.lib.households.Type

Memberships

class lino_xl.lib.households.Member

Django model to represent a household membership.

household
person
role
dependency
primary

Whether this is the primary household of this person. Checking this field will automatically disable any other primary memberships.

start_date

Since when this membership exists. This is usually empty.

end_date

Until when this membership exists.

class lino_xl.lib.households.Members
class lino_xl.lib.households.MembersByHousehold
class lino_xl.lib.households.PopulateMembers

Populate household members from data in human links.

The default role of a new household member is “Child”. A household member can either refer to an existing person, of e.g. specify only a first name.

>>> m = households.Member(first_name="Tom")
>>> print(m)
Tom (Child)
>>> p = contacts.Person.objects.first()
>>> m = households.Member(person=p)
>>> print(m)
Mr Aábdeen Abad (Child)
>>> print(p)
Mr Aábdeen Abad

Configuration

class lino_xl.lib.households.MemberRoles

How to represent a household member

SiblingsByPerson

The SiblingsByPerson table shows the family composition of a person, i.e. all members of the current household of that person.

>>> SiblingsByPerson = rt.models.households.SiblingsByPerson

This works of course only when Lino can determine the “one and only” current household. If the person has only one membership (at a given date), then there is no question.

When there are several memberships, then ideally one of them should be marked as primary.

But even when a person has multiple household memberships and none of them is primary, Lino can look at the end_date.

The active household is determined as follows:

  • If the person has only one household, use this.

  • Otherwise, if one household is marked as primary, use this.

  • Otherwise, if there is exactly one membership whose end_date is either empty or in the future, take this.

If no active household can be determined, the panel just displays an appropriate message.

Let’s get a list of the candidates to inspect:

>>> Person = rt.models.contacts.Person
>>> Member = rt.models.households.Member
>>> MemberRoles = rt.models.households.MemberRoles
>>> heads = Person.objects.filter(household_members__role=MemberRoles.head).distinct()
>>> for m in heads.order_by('id'):
...     qs = Member.objects.filter(role=MemberRoles.head, person=m.person)
...     all = qs.count()
...     primary = qs.filter(primary=True).count()
...     if all > 1 and not primary:
...         print("{} ({}) is head of {} households".format(
...             m.person, m.person.pk, all))
Mr Aleksándr Alvang (178) is head of 2 households

The most interesting is Aleksándr Alvang (178):

>>> ses = rt.login('robin')
>>> p = Person.objects.get(pk=178)
>>> ses.show('households.MembersByPerson', master_instance=p)
Mr Aleksándr Alvang is
`☐  <javascript:window.App.runAction({ "actorId": "households.Members", "an": "set_primary", "onMain": false, "rp": null, "sr": 11, "status": {  } })>`__Head of household in `Aleksándr & Agápiiá Alvang-Bek-Murzin (Other) <…>`__

Let’s use the get_json_soup function to analyze

>>> avanti.Client.objects.get(pk=178).user.username
'romain'
>>> soup = get_json_soup('romain', 'avanti/MyClients/178', 'households.MembersByPerson')
>>> links = soup.find_all('a')
>>> len(links)

>>> print(links[4].string)
Joindre un ménage existant
