five.grok is a development layer for Zope, based on Grok framework concepts.
The development techniques are similar to the ones used with Grok framework.
It is based on grokcore namespace packages that were factored out of Grok framework.
Coming from Grok, the following components are available to Zope developers:
- Zope 3 Component (Adapter, Global utilities, Subscribers),
- Permissions,
- Views and Viewlets,
- Skins and resources directories,
- Page Templates (using the Zope Page Templates),
- Formlib forms (optional, you need to include the extra
form), - Local sites and local utilities,
- Annotations,
- Layout (optional, you need to include the extra
layout).
All those components are available with exactly the same syntax than in grok. You just have to do:
from five import grok
Instead of:
import grok
After adding the dependency to five.grok in your project, you have
to load the following ZCML:
<include package="five.grok" />
You can refer to the Grok website: http://grok.zope.org/, and the Grok documentation: http://grok.zope.org/documentation/.
You can check the doctest included in sources as well.
