Django wizard uses Step classes to control page flow.
To create a wizard, you need a url route defined that is going to point to a
view and take a step parameter, like this::
url(r'^(?P<step>[a-zA-Z]+)?$', views.my_view, name='new_wizard'),
That view then must instantiate the wizard passing it the url name, and a list of steps.
Then the wizard's handle_request method should be called and returned with the request
and the current step name (From the url)::
def my_view(request, step):
Wizard('new_wizard', [
('StepOne', mysteps.StepOne),
('StepTwo', mysteps.StepTwo),
])
return wizard.handle_request(request, step)
The wizard also has a defaulted navigation_opts argument that can be passed in the __init__
navigation options are a dictionary with a key of a string that will map to a field in
the Request, and the value is an int. These tell the wizard what direction to go and how far
in which scenarios.
The defaults are:
- wizard_save: 0
- wizard_continue: 1
- wizard_previous: -1
- wizard_next: 1
The view can also set a few additional things on the wizard:
* set_redirect_args(\*args, \**kwargs)
- use this to tell the wizard what it needs to privode to django's reverse function
when doing redirects
* set_step_init_args(\*args, \**kwargs)
- use this to supply additional arguments to your step class __init__'s
* set_common_template_args(dict)
- use this to add stuff that will always be available in all of your wizard created
templates
The wizard will trigger the following signals:
* wizard.signals.wizard_pre_save
* wizard.signals.wizard_post_save
* wizard.signals.wizard_pre_display
* wizard.signals.wizard_post_display
* wizard.signals.wizard_pre_prereq
* wizard.signals.wizard_post_prereq
A Step class is just an object that must define the following methods
* display
- only takes self as an argument and returns the object that should be
passed to django's template engine
* save
- only takes self as an argument and returns nothing
* template
- only takes self as an argument and must return the template object to be used
by the wizard to render the response
- IE: return loader.get_template('some_template_file.html')
* prereq
- only takes self as an argument and can raise a wizard.PrereqMissing when an error occurs in the page flow
- the __init__ accepts an optional step key, a request and a message
- if the step key is provided, the wizard will redirect to that step
- if a request and message are provided it will add the message to django's messaging framework
* SaveStepException is an exception that can be raised in the save method that the wizard know that the step could not be saved and needs to be repeated
