Wizard
======
A wizard is a `finite state machine`_.
There is also a more :ref:`practical introduction into wizards
<topics-wizard>`.
.. _`finite state machine`: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine
.. class:: Wizard(session_id)
This is the base for any wizard. It contains the engine for the finite
state machine. A wizard must have some :class:`State` instance attributes
that the engine will use.
Class attributes are:
.. attribute:: Wizard.__name__
It contains the unique name to reference the wizard throughout the
platform.
.. attribute:: Wizard.start_state
It contains the name of the starting state.
.. attribute:: Wizard.end_state
It contains the name of the ending state.
If an instance method with this name exists on the wizard, it will be
called on deletion of the wizard and it may return one of the :ref:`client
side action keywords <topics-views-client-actions>`.
.. attribute:: Wizard.__rpc__
Same as :attr:`trytond.model.Model.__rpc__`.
.. attribute:: Wizard.states
It contains a dictionary with state name as key and :class:`State` as
value.
.. attribute:: model
It contains the :class:`~trytond.model.Model` class on which the wizard is
executed.
.. attribute:: record
It contains the :class:`~trytond.model.Model` instance on which the wizard
is executed.
.. attribute:: records
It contains the list of :class:`~trytond.model.Model` instances on which
the wizard is executed.
Class methods are:
.. classmethod:: Wizard.__setup__()
Setup the class before adding into the :class:`trytond.pool.Pool`.
.. classmethod:: Wizard.__post_setup__()
Setup the class after added into the :class:`trytond.pool.Pool`.
.. classmethod:: Wizard.__register__(module_name)
Register the wizard.
.. classmethod:: Wizard.create()
Create a session for the wizard and returns a tuple containing the session
id, the starting and ending state.
.. classmethod:: Wizard.delete(session_id)
Delete the session.
.. classmethod:: Wizard.execute(session_id, data, state_name)
Execute the wizard for the state.
``session_id`` is a session id.
``data`` is a dictionary with the session data to update.
``active_id``, ``active_ids``, ``active_model`` and ``action_id`` must be
set in the context according to the records on which the wizard is run.
=====
State
=====
.. class:: State()
This is the base for any wizard state.
Instance attributes are:
.. attribute:: State.name
The name of the state.
=========
StateView
=========
.. class:: StateView(model_name, view, buttons)
A :class:`StateView` is a state that will display a form in the client.
The form is defined by the :class:`~trytond.model.ModelView` with the name
``model_name``, the ``XML`` id in ``view`` and the ``buttons``.
The default value of the view can be set with a method on wizard having the
same name as the state but starting with ``default_``.
Instance attributes are:
.. attribute:: StateView.model_name
The name of the :class:`~trytond.model.ModelView`.
.. attribute:: StateView.view
The ``XML`` id of the form view.
.. attribute:: StateView.buttons
The list of :class:`Button` instances to display on the form.
Instance methods are:
.. method:: StateView.get_view(wizard, state_name)
Returns the view definition like
:meth:`~trytond.model.ModelView.fields_view_get`.
* wizard is a :class:`Wizard` instance
* state_name is the name of the :class:`StateView` instance
.. method:: StateView.get_defaults(wizard, state_name, fields)
Return default values for the fields.
* wizard is a :class:`Wizard` instance
* state_name is the name of the :class:`State`
* fields is the list of field names
.. method:: StateView.get_buttons(wizard, state_name)
Returns button definitions of the wizard.
* wizard is a :class:`Wizard` instance
* state_name is the name of the :class:`StateView` instance
===============
StateTransition
===============
.. class:: StateTransition()
A :class:`StateTransition` brings the wizard to the ``state`` returned by
the method having the same name as the state but starting with
``transition_``.
===========
StateAction
===========
.. class:: StateAction(action_id)
A :class:`StateAction` is a :class:`StateTransition` which let the client
launch an ``ir.action``. This action definition can be customized with a
method on wizard having the same name as the state but starting with
``do_``.
Instance attributes are:
.. attribute:: StateAction.action_id
The ``XML`` id of the ``ir.action``.
Instance methods are:
.. method:: StateAction.get_action()
Returns the ``ir.action`` definition.
===========
StateReport
===========
.. class:: StateReport(report_name)
A :class:`StateReport` is a :class:`StateAction` which find the report
action by name instead of ``XML`` id.
======
Button

.. attribute:: Button.state
The next state to reach if button is clicked.
.. attribute:: Button.icon
