Bases: object

__init__(label, key=None, model_class=None, method=None, format=None, link=None, attach_popup=False, visible=True, nowrap=False, filterable=None, sortable=True, label_id_prefix=None, target=None)

Create a grid column.

get_value(trans, grid, item)

get_link(trans, grid, item)

filter(trans, user, query, column_filter)

Modify query to reflect the column filter.

get_accepted_filters()

Returns a list of accepted filters for this column.

sort(trans, query, ascending, column_name=None)

Sort query using this column.

class galaxy.web.framework.helpers.grids.ReverseSortColumn(label, key=None, model_class=None, method=None, format=None, link=None, attach_popup=False, visible=True, nowrap=False, filterable=None, sortable=True, label_id_prefix=None, target=None)

Bases: galaxy.web.framework.helpers.grids.GridColumn

Column that reverses sorting; this is useful when the natural sort is descending.

sort(trans, query, ascending, column_name=None)

class galaxy.web.framework.helpers.grids.TextColumn(label, key=None, model_class=None, method=None, format=None, link=None, attach_popup=False, visible=True, nowrap=False, filterable=None, sortable=True, label_id_prefix=None, target=None)

filter(trans, user, query, column_filter)

Modify query to filter using free text, case independence.

get_filter(trans, user, column_filter)

Returns a SQLAlchemy criterion derived from column_filter.

get_single_filter(user, a_filter)

Sort column using case-insensitive alphabetical sorting.

class galaxy.web.framework.helpers.grids.DateTimeColumn(label, key=None, model_class=None, method=None, format=None, link=None, attach_popup=False, visible=True, nowrap=False, filterable=None, sortable=True, label_id_prefix=None, target=None)

Bases: galaxy.web.framework.helpers.grids.TextColumn

sort(trans, query, ascending, column_name=None)

Sort query using this column.

class galaxy.web.framework.helpers.grids.BooleanColumn(label, key=None, model_class=None, method=None, format=None, link=None, attach_popup=False, visible=True, nowrap=False, filterable=None, sortable=True, label_id_prefix=None, target=None)

Bases: galaxy.web.framework.helpers.grids.TextColumn

sort(trans, query, ascending, column_name=None)

Sort query using this column.

get_single_filter(user, a_filter)

class galaxy.web.framework.helpers.grids.IntegerColumn(label, key=None, model_class=None, method=None, format=None, link=None, attach_popup=False, visible=True, nowrap=False, filterable=None, sortable=True, label_id_prefix=None, target=None)

Bases: galaxy.web.framework.helpers.grids.TextColumn

Integer column that employs freetext, but checks that the text is an integer, so support filtering on integer values.

IMPORTANT NOTE: grids that use this column type should not include the column in the cols_to_filter list of MulticolFilterColumn ( i.e., searching on this column type should not be performed in the grid’s standard search - it won’t throw exceptions, but it also will not find what you’re looking for ). Grids that search on this column should use ‘filterable=”advanced”’ so that searching is only performed in the advanced search component, restricting the search to the specific column.

This is useful for searching on object ids or other integer columns. See the JobIdColumn column in the SpecifiedDateListGrid class in the jobs controller of the reports webapp for an example.

get_single_filter(user, a_filter)

sort(trans, query, ascending, column_name=None)

Sort query using this column.
