If `model` is associated with a session, that will be used by default. (Objects mapped with a `scoped_session <http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/05/session.html#contextual-thread-local-sessions>`_ will always have a session. Other objects will also have a session if they were loaded by a Query.) - `data=None`: dictionary-like object of user-submitted data to validate and/or sync to the `model`. Scalar attributes should have a single value in the dictionary; multi-valued relations should have a list, even if there are zero or one values submitted. Currently, pylons request.params() objects and plain dictionaries are known to work. - `prefix=None`: the prefix to prepend to html name attributes. This is useful to avoid field name conflicts when there are two fieldsets creating objects from the same model in one html page. (This is not needed when editing existing objects, since the object primary key is used as part of the field name.) Only the `model` parameter is required. After binding, :class:`~formalchemy.forms.FieldSet`'s `model` attribute will always be an instance.

NOTE:: This instance will not be added to the current session, even if you are using `Session.mapper`. All of these parameters may be overridden by the `bind` or `rebind` methods. The `bind` method returns a new instance bound as specified, while `rebind` modifies the current :class:`~formalchemy.forms.FieldSet` and has no return value. (You may not `bind` to a different type of SQLAlchemy model than the initial one -- if you initially bind to a `User`, you must subsequently bind `User`'s to that :class:`~formalchemy.forms.FieldSet`.)

class FieldSet(DefaultRenderers): """ A `FieldSet` is bound to a SQLAlchemy mapped instance (or class, for creating new instances) and can render a form for editing that instance, perform validation, and sync the form data back to the bound instance. `FieldSets` are responsible for generating HTML fields from a given `model`. You can derive your own subclasses from `FieldSet` to provide a customized `render` and/or `configure`. You can write `render` by manually sticking strings together if that's what you want, but we recommend using a templating package for clarity and maintainability. !FormAlchemy includes the Tempita templating package as formalchemy.tempita; see http://pythonpaste.org/tempita/ for documentation. `formalchemy.forms.template_text_tempita` is the default template used by `FieldSet.` !FormAlchemy also includes a Mako version, `formalchemy.forms.template_text_mako`, and will use that instead if Mako is available. The rendered HTML is identical but (we suspect) Mako is faster. Usage: - `model`: a SQLAlchemy mapped class or instance. New object creation should be done by passing the class, which will need a default (no-parameter) constructor. After construction or binding of the :class:`~formalchemy.forms.FieldSet`, the instantiated object will be available as the `.model` attribute. - `session=None`: the session to use for queries (for relations).

Scalar attributes should have a single value in the dictionary; multi-valued relations should have a list, even if there are zero or one values submitted. Currently, pylons request.params() objects and plain dictionaries are known to work. - `request=None`: WebOb-like object that can be taken in place of `data`. FormAlchemy will make sure it's a POST, and use its 'POST' attribute as the data. Also, the request object will be available to renderers as the `.request` attribute. - `prefix=None`: the prefix to prepend to html name attributes.

(Objects mapped with a `scoped_session <http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/05/session.html#contextual-thread-local-sessions>`_ will always have a session. Other objects will also have a session if they were loaded by a Query.) - `data=None`: dictionary-like object of user-submitted data to validate and/or sync to the `model`. Scalar attributes should have a single value in the dictionary; multi-valued relations should have a list, even if there are zero or one values submitted. Currently, pylons request.params() objects and plain dictionaries are known to work. - `prefix=None`: the prefix to prepend to html name attributes. This is useful to avoid field name conflicts when there are two fieldsets creating objects from the same model in one html page. (This is not needed when editing existing objects, since the object primary key is used as part of the field name.) Only the `model` parameter is required. After binding, :class:`~formalchemy.forms.FieldSet`'s `model` attribute will always be an instance. If you bound to a class, `FormAlchemy` will call its constructor with no arguments to create an appropriate instance. .. NOTE:: This instance will not be added to the current session, even if you are using `Session.mapper`. All of these parameters may be overridden by the `bind` or `rebind` methods.

The `_fields` attribute is an OrderedDict of all the `Field`'s the ModelRenderer knows about, keyed by name, in their unconfigured state. You should not normally need to access `_fields` directly. (Note that although equivalent `Field`'s (fields referring to the same attribute on the SQLAlchemy model) will equate with the == operator, they are NOT necessarily the same `Field` instance.

class FieldSet(DefaultRenderers): """ A `FieldSet` is bound to a SQLAlchemy mapped instance (or class, for creating new instances) and can render a form for editing that instance, perform validation, and sync the form data back to the bound instance. `FieldSets` are responsible for generating HTML fields from a given `model`. You can derive your own subclasses from `FieldSet` to provide a customized `render` and/or `configure`. You can write `render` by manually sticking strings together if that's what you want, but we recommend using a templating package for clarity and maintainability. !FormAlchemy includes the Tempita templating package as formalchemy.tempita; see http://pythonpaste.org/tempita/ for documentation. `formalchemy.forms.template_text_tempita` is the default template used by `FieldSet.` !FormAlchemy also includes a Mako version, `formalchemy.forms.template_text_mako`, and will use that instead if Mako is available. The rendered HTML is identical but (we suspect) Mako is faster. Usage: - `model`: a SQLAlchemy mapped class or instance. New object creation should be done by passing the class, which will need a default (no-parameter) constructor. After construction or binding of the :class:`~formalchemy.forms.FieldSet`, the instantiated object will be available as the `.model` attribute. - `session=None`: the session to use for queries (for relations).

Other objects will also have a session if they were loaded by a Query.) - `data=None`: dictionary-like object of user-submitted data to validate and/or sync to the `model`. Scalar attributes should have a single value in the dictionary; multi-valued relations should have a list, even if there are zero or one values submitted. Currently, pylons request.params() objects and plain dictionaries are known to work. - `request=None`: WebOb-like object that can be taken in place of `data`. FormAlchemy will make sure it's a POST, and use its 'POST' attribute as the data. Also, the request object will be available to renderers as the `.request` attribute. - `prefix=None`: the prefix to prepend to html name attributes. This is useful to avoid field name conflicts when there are two fieldsets creating objects from the same model in one html page. (This is not needed when editing existing objects, since the object primary key is used as part of the field name.) Only the `model` parameter is required.

(The `bind` method is thread-safe; `rebind` is not.) Thus: load stuff: >>> from formalchemy.tests import FieldSet, User, session now, in `library.py` >>> fs = FieldSet(User) >>> fs.configure(options=[]) # put all configuration stuff here and in `controller.py` >>> from library import fs >>> user = session.query(User).first() >>> fs2 = fs.bind(user) >>> html = fs2.render() The `render_fields` attribute is an OrderedDict of all the `Field`'s that have been configured, keyed by name. The order of the fields is the order in `include`, or the order they were declared in the SQLAlchemy model class if no `include` is specified. The `_fields` attribute is an OrderedDict of all the `Field`'s the ModelRenderer knows about, keyed by name, in their unconfigured state. You should not normally need to access `_fields` directly. (Note that although equivalent `Field`'s (fields referring to the same attribute on the SQLAlchemy model) will equate with the == operator, they are NOT necessarily the same `Field` instance. Stick to referencing `Field`'s from their parent `FieldSet` to always get the "right" instance.)

By default, all attributes are rendered except primary keys and foreign keys. But, relations `based on` foreign keys `will` be rendered. For example, if an `Order` has a `user_id` FK and a `user` relation based on it, `user` will be rendered (as a select box of `User`'s, by default) but `user_id` will not. Parameters: * `pk=False`: set to True to include primary key columns * `exclude=[]`: an iterable of attributes to exclude. Other attributes will be rendered normally * `include=[]`: an iterable of attributes to include. Other attributes will not be rendered * `options=[]`: an iterable of modified attributes. The set of attributes to be rendered is unaffected * `global_validator=None`: global_validator` should be a function that performs validations that need to know about the entire form. * `focus=True`: the attribute (e.g., `fs.orders`) whose rendered input element gets focus. Default value is True, meaning, focus the first element. False means do not focus at all. * `readonly=False`: if true, the fieldset will be rendered as a table (tbody) of names+values instead of a group of input elements. Opening and closing table tags are not included. * `modify=False`: if true, the fieldset will be further modified by this call. Otherwise the raw fields will be used. Only one of {`include`, `exclude`} may be specified. Note that there is no option to include foreign keys. This is deliberate. Use `include` if you really need to manually edit FKs. If `include` is specified, fields will be rendered in the order given in `include`. Otherwise, fields will be rendered in alphabetical order. Examples: given a `FieldSet` `fs` bound to a `User` instance as a model with primary key `id` and attributes `name` and `email`, and a relation `orders` of related Order objects, the default will be to render `name`, `email`, and `orders`. To render the orders list as checkboxes instead of a select, you could specify:: >>> from formalchemy.tests import FieldSet, User >>> fs = FieldSet(User) >>> fs.configure(options=[fs.orders.checkbox()]) To render only name and email, >>> fs.configure(include=[fs.name, fs.email]) or >>> fs.configure(exclude=[fs.orders]) Of course, you can include modifications to a field in the `include` parameter, such as here, to render name and options-as-checkboxes: >>> fs.configure(include=[fs.name, fs.orders.checkbox()]) Calling `configure` multiple times will only leave the last call's effects in place.
