DownloadButton

class viktor.parametrization.DownloadButton(ui_name, method, longpoll=False, require_all_fields=True, visible=True, always_available=False, flex=None, *, description=None)¶

Action button which can be pressed to download a result to a file.

Example usage:

# in parametrization:
download_btn = DownloadButton("Download file", "get_download_result", longpoll=True)

# in controller:
def get_download_result(self):
    return DownloadResult(file_content='file_content', file_name='some_file.txt')

Parameters

ui_name (str) – Name which is visible in the VIKTOR user interface.
method (str) – Name of the download method that is defined in the controller
longpoll (bool) – Set this option to True if the process that is invoked by the action button cannot be completed within the timeout limit.
visible (Union[bool, BoolOperator, Lookup, FunctionLookup, DynamicArrayConstraint, RowLookup, Callable]) – Visibility of the button. A Constraint can be used when the visibility depends on other input fields.
always_available (bool) – Set this to True if the action button has to remain available for users that do not have permission to make any changes in the editor. This gives such users the ability to for example still download product reports.

Lookup

class viktor.parametrization.Lookup(target)¶

Can be used to lookup the value of an input field. This can be used to set visibility of a field and to set a minimum and / or maximum boundary on a number field.

Example usage on visibility:

field_1 = BooleanField('Field 1')
field_2 = NumberField('Field 2', visible=Lookup('field_1'))

Example usage on min / max:

field_1 = NumberField('Field 1')
field_2 = NumberField('Field 2', min=Lookup('field_1'))

Parameters: target (str) – Name of input field.

FunctionLookup

class viktor.parametrization.FunctionLookup(func, *func_args, **kwargs)¶

Defines a lookup constraint where the output value is any function of several input fields.

Example usages:

def multiply(a, b=10):
    return a * b

field_1 = NumberField('Field 1')
field_2 = NumberField('Field 2')

Standard usage with two field arguments:

field_3 = NumberField('Field 3', min=FunctionLookup(multiply, Lookup('field_1'), Lookup('field_2')))

Using the default value of argument b:

field_4 = NumberField('Field 4', min=FunctionLookup(multiply, Lookup('field_1')))

Using a constant instead of a field for argument a:

field_5 = NumberField('Field 5', min=FunctionLookup(multiply, 8, Lookup('field_2')))

Parameters

func (Callable) – Python function or lambda expression. The function can have arguments with default values.
func_args (Any) – Arguments that are provided to the function. Arguments of type Lookup / BoolOperator are evaluated first (e.g. to refer to the value of a Field in the editor, a Lookup can be used).

RowLookup

class viktor.parametrization.RowLookup(target)¶

Can be used to lookup the value of an input field within the same row of the dynamic array. This can be used to set the visibility of a field and a minimum and / or maximum boundary on a number field.

Example usage:

array = DynamicArray('Array')
array.field_1 = NumberField('Field 1')
array.field_2 = NumberField('Field 2', min=RowLookup('field_1'))

For more complex constructions, it is advised to use a callback function.

Parameters: target (str) – Name of input field within the dynamic array.

Parameters

ui_name (str) – This string is visible in the VIKTOR user interface.
min (Union[int, Lookup, FunctionLookup, Callable, None]) – Minimum number of rows in the array.
max (Union[int, Lookup, FunctionLookup, Callable, None]) – Maximum number of rows in the array.
copylast (Optional[bool]) – Copy the last row when clicking the + button. Takes precedence over field defaults.
visible (Union[bool, BoolOperator, Lookup, FunctionLookup, Callable]) – Can be used when the visibility depends on other input fields.

description (Optional[str]) – Show more information to the user through a tooltip on hover (max. 200 characters).
row_label (Optional[str]) – Label to be shown at each row. The row number is appended to the label.

The default values of the DynamicArray are filled when the editor is entered for the first time (just like the other fields). The fields underneath the dynamic array can also have default values. These are filled when the user adds a new row. If copylast is True, the last values are copied, and the Field defaults are ignored.

array = DynamicArray('Dyn Array', default=[{'a': 1, 'b': 'hello'}, {'a': 2, 'b': 'there'}])
array.a = NumberField('A', default=99)
array.b = TextField('B', default='foo')

When first entering the editor:

A	B
1	hello
2	there

When adding a new row:

A	B
1	hello
2	there
99	foo

When using copylast:

array = DynamicArray('Dyn Array', copylast=True, default=[{'a': 1, 'b': 'hello'}])
array.a = NumberField('A', default=99)
array.b = TextField('B', default='foo')

When first entering the editor:

A	B
1	hello

When adding a new row:

A	B
1	hello
1	hello

Data:

list of dictionaries: e.g. [{‘a’: 1, ‘b’: ‘1’}, {‘a’: 2, ‘b’: ‘2’}]
empty list if there are no ‘rows’
when fields are empty, the corresponding empty values are used (see documentation of specific field)

Parameters: value (str) – Text to be shown

HiddenField

class viktor.parametrization.HiddenField(ui_name, name=None)¶

The purpose of a HiddenField is to store data in the parametrization, without the necessity to show this information in the editor.

Warning

Do NOT store tremendous amounts of data when it is not necessary, as this will make your application slow and perhaps unstable!

Parameters

ui_name (str) – User-defined name of the field.
name (Optional[str]) – The position of the parameter in the database can be specified in this argument.

OptionListElement

class viktor.parametrization.OptionListElement(value, label=None, visible=True)¶

Create an option which can be used inside an OptionField.

Example: value only with type str

>>> option = OptionListElement('apple')
>>> option.value
'apple'
>>> option.label
'apple'

Example: value only with type int

>>> option = OptionListElement(33)
>>> option.value
33
>>> option.label
'33'

Example: value and label

>>> option = OptionListElement('apple', 'Delicious apple')
>>> option.value
'apple'
>>> option.label
'Delicious apple'

Parameters

value (Union[float, str]) – The identifier which is used to store and retrieve chosen option.
label (Optional[str]) – The identifier which is shown to the user. If no label is specified, the value identifier is used, cast to a string.
visible (Union[bool, BoolOperator, Lookup, FunctionLookup]) – Determines whether option is visible. Will mostly be used with Constraint.

property label: str¶

Return type: str

property value: Union[float, str]¶

Return type: Union[float, str]

Parametrization

class viktor.parametrization.Parametrization(*, width=None)¶

The Parametrization class functions as the basis of the parameter set of an entity.

A simple parametrization looks as follows:

from viktor.parametrization import Parametrization, TextField, NumberField


class ExampleParametrization(Parametrization):
    input_1 = TextField('This is a text field')
    input_2 = NumberField('This is a number field')

In the VIKTOR user interface, this will be visualized as:

In some cases, the parametrization becomes quite big which requires a more structured layout. This can be achieved by making use of a Tab and Section object, which represent a tab and collapsible section in the interface respectively.

A 2-layered structure using Tab objects looks like this:

from viktor.parametrization import Parametrization, TextField, NumberField, Tab


class ExampleParametrization(Parametrization):
    tab_1 = Tab('Tab 1')
    tab_1.input_1 = TextField('This is a text field')
    tab_1.input_2 = NumberField('This is a number field')

    tab_2 = Tab('Tab 2')
    tab_2.input_1 = TextField('Text field in Tab 2')
    tab_2.input_2 = NumberField('Number field in Tab 2')

Using Section objects results in the following:

from viktor.parametrization import Parametrization, TextField, NumberField, Section


class ExampleParametrization(Parametrization):
    section_1 = Section('Section 1')
    section_1.input_1 = TextField('This is a text field')
    section_1.input_2 = NumberField('This is a number field')

    section_2 = Section('Section 2')
    section_2.input_1 = TextField('Text field in Section 2')
    section_2.input_2 = NumberField('Number field in Section 2')

/_images/editor-two-layered-sections.png

A parametrization with a maximum depth of 3 layers consists of Tab, Section, and Field objects:

from viktor.parametrization import Parametrization, TextField, NumberField, Tab, Section


class ExampleParametrization(Parametrization):
    tab_1 = Tab('Tab 1')
    tab_1.section_1 = Section('Section 1')
    tab_1.section_1.input_1 = TextField('This is a text field')
    tab_1.section_1.input_2 = NumberField('This is a number field')

    tab_1.section_2 = Section('Section 2')
    ...

    tab_2 = Tab('Tab 2')
    ...

Every class attribute is treated as a tab, section, or field. If you want to use a variable inside a field, you can either define it outside of the class or as class attribute starting with an underscore:

OPTIONS = ['Option 1', 'Option 2']

class ExampleParametrization(Parametrization):

    _options = ['Option 3', 'Option 4']
    field_1 = OptionField('Choose option', options=OPTIONS)
    field_2 = OptionField('Choose option', options=_options)

Parameters: width (Optional[int]) – Sets the width of the parametrization side as percentage of the complete width of the editor (input + output). The value should be an integer between 20 and 80 (default: 40).

Page

class viktor.parametrization.Page(title, *, views=None, description=None)¶

A Page can be used to group certain inputs (e.g. fields) with certain outputs (views).

For example:

class MyParametrization(Parametrization):
    page_1 = Page('Page 1')  # no views
    page_1.field_1 = NumberField(...)
    ...

    page_2 = Page('Page 2', views='view_data')  # single view
    page_2.field_1 = NumberField(...)
    ...

    page_3 = Page('Page 3', views=['view_map', 'view_data'])  # multiple views
    page_3.field_1 = NumberField(...)
    ...


class MyController(ViktorController):
    ...

    @DataView(...)  # visible on "Page 2" and "Page 3"
    def view_data(self, params, **kwargs):
        ...

    @MapView(...)  # only visible on "Page 3"
    def view_map(self, params, **kwargs):
        ...

Parameters

title (str) – Title which is shown in the interface.
views (Union[str, Sequence[str], None]) – View method(s) that should be visible in this page, e.g. ‘my_view’ for a single view, or [‘my_data_view’, ‘my_geometry_view’, …] for multiple views (default: None).
description (Optional[str]) – Show more information to the user through a tooltip on hover (max. 200 characters).

Step

class viktor.parametrization.Step(title, *, views=None, description=None, previous_label=None, next_label=None)¶

Bases: viktor.parametrization.Page

A Step can be used to group certain inputs (e.g. fields) with certain outputs (views) within a predefined order, browsable through a previous and next button.

For example:

class MyParametrization(Parametrization):
    step_1 = Step('Step 1')  # no views
    step_1.field_1 = NumberField(...)
    ...

    step_2 = Step('Step 2', views='view_data')  # single view
    step_2.field_1 = NumberField(...)
    ...

    step_3 = Step('Step 3', views=['view_map', 'view_data'])  # multiple views
    step_3.field_1 = NumberField(...)
    ...


class MyController(ViktorController):
    ...

    @DataView(...)  # visible on "Step 2" and "Step 3"
    def view_data(self, params, **kwargs):
        ...

    @MapView(...)  # only visible on "Step 3"
    def view_map(self, params, **kwargs):
        ...

Parameters

title (str) – Title which is shown in the interface.
views (Union[str, Sequence[str], None]) – View method(s) that should be visible in this step, e.g. ‘my_view’ for a single view, or [‘my_data_view’, ‘my_geometry_view’, …] for multiple views (default: None).
description (Optional[str]) – Show more information to the user through a tooltip on hover (max. 200 characters).
previous_label (Optional[str]) – Text to be shown on the previous button (ignored for first step in Parametrization, max. 30 characters).
next_label (Optional[str]) – Text to be shown on the next button (ignored for last step in Parametrization, max. 30 characters).

Tab

class viktor.parametrization.Tab(title, *, description=None)¶

Parameters

title (str) – Title which is shown in the interface.
description (Optional[str]) – Show more information to the user through a tooltip on hover (max. 200 characters).

Section

class viktor.parametrization.Section(title, *, description=None)¶

Parameters

title (str) – Title which is shown in the interface.
description (Optional[str]) – Show more information to the user through a tooltip on hover (max. 200 characters).
