Views

---

Views are used with Centurion ERP to Fetch the data for rendering as html. We have templated our views to aid in quick development. We have done this by adding to our views the required pieces of logic so as to ensure the right information is available. The available API can be found within the API Views docs.

The views that we use are:

• Index

  Models index page

• Add

  For adding data to model tables

• Change

  Changing data within a model

• Delete

  Delete a model

• Display

  Display a model

Common test cases are available for views. These test cases can be found within the API docs under model view test cases.

Requirements

All views are to meet the following requirements:

• is defined as a class

• View class inherits from one of the above listed views

• View class has the following attributes definedL

  • form_class for the display of forms.

  • model for which data model to use.

• Add and change views to use a form class

Tests

The following unit test cases exist for views:

• AddView

• ChangeView

• DeleteView

• Display View

• IndexView

• AllViews

Tip

The AllViews test class is an aggregation of all views. This class is the recommended test class to include if the model uses all available views.
