======================
Component registration
======================

Registration of objects as components is quite simple. Currently, any
object can be registered as a utility. (In the future, registering
objects as adapter factories probably will be supported, but only if
those objects implement interfaces.)

To see how this works, we'll create some objects and register
them. We'll use the Sample class defined in
zope.app.component.browser.tests to define 3 sample objects:

>>> from zope.app.component.browser.tests import Sample
>>> folder = getRootFolder()
>>> folder['sample1'] = Sample()
>>> folder['sample2'] = Sample()
>>> folder['sample3'] = Sample()
>>> import transaction
>>> transaction.commit()

All objects have a "Registration" tab that is accessable to people
with the zope.ManageSite permission:

>>> from zope.testbrowser.testing import Browser
>>> browser = Browser()
>>> browser.addHeader('Authorization', 'Basic mgr:mgrpw')
>>> browser.addHeader('Accept-Language', 'test')
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/sample1/@@SelectedManagementView.html')
>>> browser.getLink('[[zope][Registration]]').click()

When we first visit the registration tab, we see that there are no
registrations:

>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html ...
...[[zope][This object isn't yet registered.]]...

To add a registration, we'll click on the `Register this object`
button:

>>> browser.getControl('Register this object').click()

This will being up a form that provides for selection from the
interfaces the object provides and provides and entries for name to
provide the object as and a comment:

>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html ...
...[[zope][Provided interface]]...
...[[zope][The interface provided by the utility]]...
<option value="...ISample">....ISample</option>
<option value="...ISampleBase">...ISampleBase</option>
<option value="...IContained">...IContained</option>
<option value="...ILocation">...ILocation</option>
<option value="...IPersistent">...IPersistent</option>
<option value="...Interface">...Interface</option>
...[[zope][Register As]]...
...[[zope][The name under which the utility will be known.]]...
...[[zope][Comment]]...

The most specific interface is selected, which is usually what we
want. If we just enter a comment and submit the form:

>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][Comment]]').value = 'unnamed sample'
>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][Register]]').click()

We'll be redirected to the registrations page and the new registration
will be shown:

>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html ...
...[[zope][zope.app.component.browser.tests.ISample utility]]
<br />
[[zope][comment: unnamed sample]]...

We can create multiple registrations by clicking on *Register this
object again*:

>>> browser.getControl('Register this object again').click()
>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][Register As]]').value = 'one'
>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][Register]]').click()

>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html ...
...[[zope][zope.app.component.browser.tests.ISample utility]]
<br />
[[zope][comment: unnamed sample]]...
...[[zope][zope.app.component.browser.tests.ISample utility named 'one']]...

Each entry has a checkbox for selecting it. This can be used to
unregister an object. We'll unregister the utility named "one":

>>> browser.getControl(name='ids:list').getControl(
... value='Rem9wZS5hcHAuY29tcG9uZW50LmJyb3dzZXIudGVzdHMuSVNhbXBsZSBvbmU'
... ).selected = True
>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][unregister-button (Unregister)]]').click()
>>> "utility named 'one'" not in browser.contents
True

If there is already an object registered, new registrations will
simply override the old. We can see this by creating a registration
for sample2 and then overriding it's registration by registering
sample3. First, we register sample2:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/sample2/registration.html')
>>> browser.getControl('Register this object').click()
>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][Register As]]').value = 'two'
>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][Register]]').click()

We can see all of the registrations for a site by visting the
site-manager's registrations page:

>>> browser.open(
... 'http://localhost/++etc++site/@@SelectedManagementView.html')
>>> browser.getLink('[[zope][Registrations]]').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html ...
...[[zope][Registrations for this site: (
Registrations for this site:
)]]...
...sample1...[[zope][zope.app.component.browser.tests.ISample utility]]
<br />
[[zope][comment: unnamed sample]]...
...sample2...[[zope][zope.app.component.browser.tests.ISample
utility named 'two']]...

This shows all of the registrations for the site, including our sample
registrations. The display includes a link to each component. Now,
we'll register sample 3:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/sample3/registration.html')
>>> browser.getControl('Register this object').click()
>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][Register As]]').value = 'two'
>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][Register]]').click()

and note that now sample 3, rather than sample 2 is shown in the
listing of registered components for the site:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/++etc++site/@@registrations.html')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html ...
...[[zope][Registrations for this site: (
Registrations for this site:
)]]...
...sample1...[[zope][zope.app.component.browser.tests.ISample utility]]
<br />
[[zope][comment: unnamed sample]]...
...sample3...[[zope][zope.app.component.browser.tests.ISample
utility named 'two']]...

>>> 'sample2' not in browser.contents
True

And if we look at sample2's registrations, we'll see it's not registered:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/sample2/registration.html')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html ...
...This object isn't yet registered...

Each entry in the site registrations view has a checkbox for selecting
it. This can be used to unregister an object. We'll unregister sample3:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/++etc++site/@@registrations.html')
>>> browser.getControl(name='ids:list').getControl(
... value='Rem9wZS5hcHAuY29tcG9uZW50LmJyb3dzZXIudGVzdHMuSVNhbXBsZSB0d28'
... ).selected = True
>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][unregister-button (Unregister)]]').click()
>>> 'sample3' not in browser.contents
True

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/sample3/registration.html')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html ...
...This object isn't yet registered...

If a registered object is deleted:

>>> del folder['sample1']
>>> transaction.commit()

It remains registered, and can be unregistered:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/++etc++site/@@registrations.html')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html ...
...[[zope][Registrations for this site: (
Registrations for this site:
)]]...
...[[zope][[[zope][(unknown name)]] (moved or deleted) (
[[zope][(unknown name)]]
(moved or deleted)
)]]
<br />
[[zope][zope.app.component.browser.tests.ISample utility]]
<br />
[[zope][comment: unnamed sample]]...

>>> browser.getControl(name='ids:list').getControl(
... value="Rem9wZS5hcHAuY29tcG9uZW50LmJyb3dzZXIudGVzdHMuSVNhbXBsZSA"
... ).selected = True
>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][unregister-button (Unregister)]]').click()

>>> 'ISample' not in browser.contents
True

The registration view for an object only shows the registrations in
the immediately enclosing site. To see this, we register sample2:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/sample2/registration.html')
>>> browser.getControl('Register this object').click()
>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][Register]]').click()

Now we'll create a subsite and move sample2 there:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/@@SelectedManagementView.html')
>>> browser.getLink('[[zope][Folder]]').click()
>>> browser.getControl(name='new_value').value = 'subsite'
>>> browser.getControl('Apply').click()
>>> browser.getLink('subsite').click()
>>> browser.getLink('[[zope][Make a site]').click()
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/@@SelectedManagementView.html')
>>> browser.getControl(name='ids:list').getControl(value='sample2'
... ).selected = True
>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][container-cut-button (Cut)]]').click()
>>> browser.getLink('subsite').click()
>>> browser.getControl('[[zope][container-paste-button (Paste)]]').click()

sample2's registration page now indicates that sample2 is
unregistered:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/subsite/registration.html')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html ...
...This object isn't yet registered...

which it is in it's new site.

If we go back to the old site though, we see that sample2 is still
registered there and that it's link points to it's new location:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/++etc++site/@@registrations.html')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html ...
...subsite/sample2...zope.app.component.browser.tests.ISample utility...

Of course, this could stand some improvement:

- It would be nice if people were warned when overriding a component

- It would be nice if people were warned when moving a registered
component out its site. Perhaps people should be offered the option of
unregistering it, and perhaps registering it in the new location.

- It would be nice if people were warned when deleting a registered
component. Perhaps people should be offered the option of
unregistering it.
