submodules inherited from the PgAdminModule instead of regular
Blueprint. This allows us to load the module automatically from the
under the pgadmin directory, and will work to extend the pgAdmin
extension module.
PgAdminModule is inherited from the Blueprint, and bring several
methods:
- get_own_stylesheets, which returns the stylesheets used by the module
(excluding its submodules stylesheets)
- get_own_javascripts
- menu_items, which returns a dictionray mapping the old hook names
(context_items etc) to a list of MenuItem instances
For more specialized modules (as for now, any module that should be part
of the browser tree construction), one can define an abstract base class
defining additional methods.
For example, the BrowserPluginModule abstract base class defines the
following methods:
- jssnippets
- csssnipeets
- node_type
- get_nodes
The File menu now includes a "Create" submenu, and Delete/Rename
options. Nodes can offer Delete/Rename functionality, and the
options on the menu are automatically enabled/disabled based on
the selected node. Each node can also offer Create functionality,
and specify a list of node types (including itself) from which the
option should be made available. The menu is dynamically generated
based on the selected node.
The Context menu on the treeview works in a similar way, except that
nodes can offer any context menu items (we don't allow this on the
top menu, as that should stay consistent to avoid user confusion).
