Request and ResultSet methods ----------------------------- Those are methods you'll find on both request objects and on repository session. Request methods ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ `URL handling`: * `build_url(*args, **kwargs)`, returns an absolute URL based on the given arguments. The *controller* supposed to handle the response, can be specified through the first positional parameter (the connection is theoretically done automatically :). `Data formatting`: * `format_date(date, date_format=None, time=False)` returns a string for a date time according to instance's configuration * `format_time(time)` returns a string for a date time according to instance's configuration `And more...`: * `tal_render(template, variables)`, renders a precompiled page template with variables in the given dictionary as context Result set methods ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * `get_entity(row, col)`, returns the entity corresponding to the data position in the *result set* * `complete_entity(row, col, skip_bytes=True)`, is equivalent to `get_entity` but also call the method `complete()` on the entity before returning it
