| | 22 | === Introduction === |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | The '''S3Find''' class implements the '''[wiki:S3XRC/S3Method S3Method]''' interface, and is connected to the {{{search}}} URL method: |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | {{{ |
| | 27 | http://localhost:8000/eden/hms/hospital/search |
| | 28 | }}} |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | '''S3Find''' implements both, interactive and non-interactive search methods. Currently supported formats are: |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | - HTML |
| | 33 | - JSON |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | === Interactive search methods === |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | For interactive search, '''S3Find''' can be configured per resource, using instances of classes implementing the '''S3SearchWidget''' interface to create search forms. |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | Two interactive search forms can be configured (both of which are optional): '''simple''' and '''advanced''', where the user can toggle between these forms (if both are defined). |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | {{{ |
| | 42 | # Use a variable to hold the S3Find instance |
| | 43 | hms_hospital_search = s3base.S3Find( |
| | 44 | |
| | 45 | # Simple search form as a tuple of widgets: |
| | 46 | simple=( |

| | 49 | name="hospital_search_advanced", # widget name must be specified and unique in the form! |
| | 50 | label=T("Name and/or ID"), # Label for the search field |
| | 51 | comment=T("To search for a hospital, ..."), # Tooltip text for the search field |
| | 52 | field=["paho_uuid", # Names of fields to search in |
| | 53 | "gov_uuid", |
| | 54 | "name", |
| | 55 | "aka1", |

| | 71 | "name", |
| | 72 | "aka1", |
| | 73 | "aka2", |
| | 74 | "contact.name", # "." separator: search in component |
| | 75 | "organisation_id$name", # "$" separator: search in records referenced by organisation_id |
| | 76 | "organisation_id$acronym" |
| | 77 | ] |
| | 78 | ), |
| | 79 | |
| | 80 | # MinMax search widget to filter for a range of values: |
| | 81 | s3base.S3SearchMinMaxWidget( |
| | 82 | name="hospital_search_bedcount", |
| | 83 | method="range", # widget-specific attribute "method" |
| | 84 | label=T("Total Beds"), |
| | 85 | comment=T("Select a range for the ..."), |
| | 86 | field="total_beds" # most widgets only support one search field |
| | 87 | ) |
| | 88 | )) |
| | 89 | |
| | 90 | # Set as standard search method for this resource |
| | 91 | s3xrc.model.configure(db.hms_hospital, search_method=hms_hospital_search) |
| | 92 | |
| | 93 | }}} |
| | 94 | |
| | 95 | The {{{simple}}} form usually consists of a {{{S3SearchSimpleWidget}}} which performs a simple full-text search through various fields of the resource. However, the {{{simple}}} form may also be configured with other search widgets. In the same manner, the {{{advanced}}} form can include the {{{S3SearchSimpleWidget}}}. |
| | 96 | |
| | 97 | When calling the {{{search}}} method, the {{{simple}}} form will be opened first, while the {{{advanced}}} form is hidden (if only the advanced form is defined, then it will of course not be hidden). By clicking the ''Advanced Search'' link below the form, the user can switch to the {{{advanced}}} form, and vice versa. The forms are independent, i.e. the user can only submit one of them. |
