django-request-tree

Bug Reports and Development

Please report any problems to the Martin Owens <mailto:[e-mail]>_.

Description

This module provides a decorator for your django views which will take the flat django request response and convert the POST and FILES into a tree structure.

This tree can optionally be sent to be varified using an xsd like data-validator if installed.

Data Example

For example, your html web page might provide a way for javascript to generate many input widgets and for these to be numbered and collated, once complete the html form submits this data:

fruit_0_name="banana" fruit_0_colour="yellow" fruit_1_name="apple" fruit_1_colour="red" bread_name="tigle" bread_type="hairy"

Into this:

{ 'fruit': [ { 'name': "banana", 'colour': "yellow" }, { 'name': "apple", 'color': "red" }, ], 'bread': { 'name': "tigle", 'type': "hairy" }, }

Use Example

import request_tree

@request_tree.generate def example_view(request): print request.TREE

Validation Examples

import request_tree

@request_tree.validate(schema=MY_INPUT_SCHEMA) def example_view(request): print request.VALUS
