Usage


Overview

Actions

Use the @action decorator to add actions:

# logic/actions/module_name.py

from ckantools.decorators import action

@action(schema, helptext, get=False, *other_decorators)
def example_action(parameter_1, parameter_2):
    # ...

Or the @basic_action decorator if you want to load the action but don't want any of the other features (schema loading, auto auth, etc):

from ckantools.decorators import basic_action

@basic_action
def example_action(context, data_dict):
    # ...

And then load the action(s) in plugin.py:

# plugin.py

from .logic.actions import module_name
from ckantools.loaders import create_actions
from ckan.plugins import implements, interfaces, SingletonPlugin

class ExamplePlugin(SingletonPlugin):
    implements(interfaces.IActions)

    # IActions
    def get_actions(self):
        return create_actions(module_name)

Auth

Loading auth functions is similar to actions, i.e. use the @auth decorator.

# logic/auth/module_name.py

from ckantools.decorators import auth

@auth(anon=True)
def example_action(context, data_dict):
    return {'success': True}

@auth('example_action')
def other_action(context, data_dict):
    # checks access to example_action first
    return {'success': True}

The auth functions can then be loaded in plugin.py:

# plugin.py

from .logic.auth import module_name
from ckantools.loaders import create_auth
from ckan.plugins import implements, interfaces, SingletonPlugin

class ExamplePlugin(SingletonPlugin):
    implements(interfaces.IActions)

    # IAuthFunctions
    def get_auth_functions(self):
        return create_auth(module_name)
