Hi, Web2py is nice for its expression brevity -- but joins still need quite long texting.. I wanted to make it simpler, because "readability counts" <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/> :)
now you can write build_joins( ['auth_user', 'auth_membership', 'auth_group', 'auth_permission'] ) instead of [ db.auth_membership.on( db.auth_membership.user_id == db.auth_user.id ) ), db.auth_group.on( db.auth_group.id == db.auth_membership.group_id ) ), db.auth_permission.on( db.auth_permission.group_id == db.auth_group.id ) ),] Helper can use DB model to figure out the needed fields for join'ing (if it finds more than one possible field -- would throw an error with explatnation) Alpha version https://github.com/dz0/web2py_grand_helpers/blob/master/joins_builder.py Sugestions/patches welcome :) -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
