Implementation for the BluePrintREST:
Model
This is how Module writers need to add tables to their models/module.py:
resource='shelter'
table=module+'_'+resource
db.define_table(table,timestamp,uuidstamp,
SQLField('name'))
s3.crud_fields[table]=['name']
db[table].exposes=s3.crud_fields[table]
# Moved to Controller - allows us to redefine for different scenarios (& also better MVC separation)
#db[table].displays=s3.crud_fields[table]
# NB Beware of lambdas & %s substitution as they get evaluated when called, not when defined!
#db[table].represent=lambda table:shn_list_item(table,resource='shelter',action='display')
db[table].uuid.requires=IS_NOT_IN_DB(db,'%s.uuid' % table)
title_create=T('Add Shelter')
title_display=T('Shelter Details')
title_list=T('List Shelters')
title_update=T('Edit Shelter')
subtitle_create=T('Add New Shelter')
subtitle_list=T('Shelters')
label_list_button=T('List Shelters')
label_create_button=T('Add Shelter')
msg_record_created=T('Shelter added')
msg_record_modified=T('Shelter updated')
msg_record_deleted=T('Shelter deleted')
msg_list_empty=T('No Shelters currently registered')
s3.crud_strings[table]=Storage(title_create=title_create, title_display=title_display, title_list=title_list, title_update=title_update, subtitle_create=subtitle_create, subtitle_list=subtitle_list, label_list_button=label_list_button, label_create_button=label_create_button, msg_record_created=msg_record_created, msg_record_modified=msg_record_modified, msg_record_deleted=msg_record_deleted, msg_list_empty=msg_list_empty)
These optional settings can also be set, if-desired:
s3.listonly[table]=1 # Don't allow resources to be creatable from List view s3.undeletable[table]=1 # Don't allow resources to be deletable from List/Display views
This is the supporting material in models/__db.py:
from gluon.storage import Storage
# Keep all S3 framework-level elements stored off here, so as to avoid polluting global namespace & to make it clear which part of the framework is being interacted with
s3=Storage()
s3.crud_fields=Storage()
s3.crud_strings=Storage()
s3.listonly=Storage()
s3.undeletable=Storage()
def shn_crud_strings_lookup(resource):
"Look up CRUD strings for a given resource based on the definitions in models/module.py."
return getattr(s3.crud_strings,'%s' % resource)
def shn_rest_controller(module,resource):
"""
RESTlike controller function.

Supported Representations:
HTML is the default (including full Layout)
PLAIN is HTML with no layout
- can be inserted into DIVs via AJAX calls
- can be useful for clients on low-bandwidth or small screen sizes
JSON
- read-only for now
CSV (useful for synchronization)
- read-only for now
AJAX (designed to be run asynchronously to refresh page elements)

Alternate Representations
JSON create/update

Controller
If using a single table for a resource, Developers just need to add this to their Controllers to provide all necessary CRUD functions with support for multiple representations:
def shelter():
"RESTful CRUD controller"
return shn_rest_controller(module,'shelter')
Views
If using a single table for a resource, Developers don't normally need to create any special views for CRUD. Default ones work fine.
If needing to create custom views (e.g. GIS Layer currently) then can extend these to add extra information in a maintainable way.
Custom views to replace the create.html, display.html, etc for each module and its resource(s) can be created in the regular 'views/module' directory as '<resource-name>_create.html' for example to replace create.html. If this view is not found for that module/resource, it will revert to the default one.
For example, to make a custom list_create view for the 'cr' module's 'shelter' resource, you would make a new view template file in 'views/cr/shelter_list_create.html' and make it look how you want. It will get picked up automatically if it exists, else the default one will be used.
