Flow Production Tracking Field Widgets

Introduction

The shotgun_fields module provides access to Qt widgets that correspond to the field types available on Flow Production Tracking entities. The purpose of these widgets is to make it easier to build apps that interact with Flow Production Tracking in a standardized way.

Field Widget Manager

Access to individual field widgets is provided by the ShotgunFieldManager factory class via the create_widget() method. Additional convenience methods are avaialble on the class for creating delegates and labels corresponding to the supplied Flow Production Tracking entity type and field.

class shotgun_fields.ShotgunFieldManager(parent, bg_task_manager=None)[source]

Bases: QObject

Inherited from a QObject, this class acts as a factory for the set of widgets that can display values from Shotgun in a way appropriate to their field type.

Signals:: initialized() - Fires when the manager has finished running all the background tasks it needs for its functionality
Enum:: DISPLAY, EDITOR, EDITABLE - Enumeration for widget types managed and provided by the class

Initialize the field manager factory.

Parameters:

parent (QWidget) – Parent object
bg_task_manager (BackgroundTaskManager) – Optional Task manager. If this is not passed in one will be created when the object is initialized.

classmethod get_class(sg_entity_type, field_name, widget_type='display')[source]

Returns the registered class associated with the field name for the supplied entity and widget type.

widget_type must be one of the enum values DISPLAY, EDITOR, or EDITABLE defined by the manager class. The default is DISPLAY.

This method typically doens’t need to be called. Use the create_widget() to get an instance of a registered class.

Parameters:

sg_entity_type (str) – Shotgun entity type
field_name (str) – Shotgun field name
widget_type (str) – The type of widget class to return

Returns:

QWidget class or None if the field type has no display widget

Raises:

ValueError if the supplied widget_type is not known.

classmethod register_class(field_type, widget_class, widget_type)[source]

Register a widget class for the given Shotgun field type.

widget_type must be one of the enum values DISPLAY, EDITOR, or EDITABLE defined by the manager class.

This method usually does not need to be called. Widget classes are typically registered as they are imported (when using the ShotgunFieldMeta class).

If you wish to override widgets at a global level (across all entity types), you can call this method manually. To override a widget for a specific entity and field type combination, call the register_entity_field_class() method.

Parameters:

field_type (str) – The data type of the field to associate with a type of widget
widget_class (PySide.QtGui.QWidget) – The display widget class to associate with the given field type
widget_type (str) – The type of widget class to register.

Raises:

ValueError if the supplied widget_type is not known.

classmethod register_entity_field_class(entity_type, field_name, widget_class, widget_type)[source]

Similar to the register_class method, but registers a widget to be used with a specific entity type and field. This is provided to allow very specific widget customizations for displaying and editing fields when the default widgets are insufficient.

Example usage includes checkbox fields (boolean values) where you may want to display an icon (or not) based on the field value rather than a standard QtGui.QCheckbox based widget.

Parameters:

entity_type (str) – The entity type to register the widget class for
field_name (str) – The name of the field to register the widget class for
widget_class (QWidget) – The class of the widget to register for the entity type/field_name
widget_type (str) – The type of widget to register.

create_delegate(sg_entity_type, field_name, view)[source]

Returns a delegate that can be used in the given view to show data from the given field from the given entity type. This delegate is designed to be used by items from a shotgun_model’s additional columns. It assumes that the value for the field will be stored in the SG_ASSOCIATED_FIELD_ROLE (via the ShotgunModel) role of its current index.

Parameters:

sg_entity_type (str) – Shotgun entity type
field_name (str) – Shotgun field name
view (QWidget) – The parent view for this delegate

Returns:

A ShotgunFieldDelegate configured to represent the given field

create_generic_delegate(sg_entity_type, field_name, view, field_data_role=PySide2.QtCore.Qt.ItemDataRole.EditRole)[source]

Returns a delegate that can be used in the given view to show data from the given field from the given entity type. Unlike create_delegate, this method returns a delegate that can be used with any model representing PTR field data. The additional field_data_role parameter is supplied to tell the delegate wich role in the model will store the field data to edit/display. to be used by items

Parameters:

sg_entity_type (str) – Shotgun entity type
field_name (str) – Shotgun field name
view (QWidget) – The parent view for this delegate
field_data_role (int) – The data role that stores PTR field data in the model where this delegate is to be used. The default value is QtCore.Qt.EditRole.

Returns:

A :class:ShotgunFieldDelegateGeneric configured to represent the given field

create_label(sg_entity_type, field_name, prefix=None, postfix=None)[source]

Returns a widget that can be used as a label for the given field.

Parameters:

sg_entity_type (str) – Shotgun entity type
field_name (str) – Shotgun field name
prefix (str) – Additional text to prefix the field label.
postfix (str) – Additional text to postfix the field label.

Returns:

QLabel

create_widget(sg_entity_type, field_name, widget_type='editable', entity=None, parent=None, **kwargs)[source]

Returns a widget associated with the entity and field type if a corresponding widget class been registered.

widget_type must be one of the enum values DISPLAY, EDITOR, or EDITABLE defined by the manager class.

If the entity is passed in and has the value for the requested field then the initial contents of the widget will display that value.

Any keyword args other than those below will be passed to the constructor of whatever QWidget the field widget wraps.

Parameters:

sg_entity_type (str) – Shotgun entity type
field_name (str) – Shotgun field name
widget_type (str) – The type of widget to return.
entity (dict) – The Shotgun entity dictionary to pull the field value from.
parent (PySide.QtGui.QWidget) – Parent widget

Returns:

QWidget or None if the field type has no display widget

initialize()[source]

Initialize the task manager.

When initialization is complete the initialized signal will be emitted.

supported_fields(sg_entity_type, field_names, widget_type=None)[source]

Returns the subset of fields from field_names that have an associated widget class. Field_names may be in “bubbled” notation, for example “sg_task.Task.assignee”.

widget_type must be one of the enum values DISPLAY, EDITOR, or EDITABLE defined by the manager class or None.

If widget_type is None, DISPLAY will be assumed.

The default is to return a list of field names that have an associated display widget registered.

Parameters:

sg_entity_type (str) – Shotgun entity type
field_names (list) – An list of (str) Shotgun field names
widget_type (str) – The type of widget class to check for support.

Returns:

The subset of field_names that have associated widget classes.

Field Widget Metaclass

All field widgets use the ShotgunFieldMeta class as their __metaclass__ in order to provide a consistent API across widgets of different types and to register imported classes with the ShotgunFieldManager.

class shotgun_fields.shotgun_field_meta.ShotgunFieldMeta(name, parents, class_dict)[source]

Bases: ObjectType

The primary purpose of this class is to register widget classes with the shotgun_fields.ShotgunFieldManager. Classes that specify this class as their metaclass, and follow the protocols below, will be registered and available via the ShotgunFieldManager.create_widget() factory method.

This class also provides default logic common to all Shotgun field widgets without requiring them to use multiple inheritance which can be tricky.

The following protocols apply when using this class:

Classes defined with this metaclass must have the following:
- A member named _DISPLAY_TYPE, _EDITOR_TYPE, or both. The value of these members should be a string matching the Shotgun field data type that the class will be responsible for displaying or editing.

Example:

@six.add_metaclass(ShotgunFieldMeta)
class FloatDisplayWidget(QtGui.QLabel):
    _DISPLAY_TYPE = "float"
    # ...

@six.add_metaclass(ShotgunFieldMeta)
class FloatEditorWidget(QtGui.QDoubleSpinBox):
    _EDITOR_TYPE = "float"
    # ...

The widgets shown above will be used by any PTR field for the specified type. It is also possible to register widgets that are used only for specific fields on specific entities. To achieve this, use the _ENTITY_FIELDS class member to define a list of tuples that explicitly defined the entity fields the widget should be used to display.

Example:

@six.add_metaclass(ShotgunFieldMeta)
class SpecialFloatDisplayWidget(QtGui.QLabel):
    _DISPLAY_TYPE = "float"
    _ENTITY_FIELDS = [
        ("CustomEntity07", "my_float_field"),
        ("CustomEntity11", "another_float_field"),
    ]
    # ...

The widget defined above will only be used to display the fields in the _ENTITY_FIELDS list.

No class defined with this metaclass can define its own __init__ method.
- The metaclass defines an __init__ that takes the arguments below
- The class will pass all other keyword args through to the PySide widget constructor for the class’ superclass.

Parameters:

parent (PySide.QtGui.QWidget) – Parent widget
entity (Whatever is returned by the Shotgun API for this field) – The Shotgun entity dictionary to pull the field value from.
field_name (str) – Shotgun field name
bg_task_manager (BackgroundTaskManager) – The task manager the widget will use if it needs to run a task

All instances of the class will have the following member variables set:
- _entity: The entity the widget is representing a field of (if passed in)
- _field_name: The name of the field the widget is representing
- _bg_task_manager: The task manager the widget should use (if passed in)
- _bundle: The current Toolkit bundle
All instances of this class can emit the following signals:
- value_changed(): Emitted when the value of the widget is changed either programmatically or via user interaction.
The following optional method can be defined by classes using this metaclass
- setup_widget(self): called during construction after the superclass has been initialized and after the above member variables have been set.
- set_value(self, value): called during construction after setup_widget returns. Responsible for setting the initial contents of the widget.
- get_value(): Returns the internal value stored for the widget. This value should match the format and type of data associated with the widget’s field in Shotgun, as returned by the python API.
If set_value is not defined, then the class must implement the following methods:
- _display_default(self): Set the widget to display its “blank” state
- _display_value(self, value): Set the widget to display the value from Shotgun
- These methods are called by the default implementation of set_value.
Classes that handle display and editing of field values and must implement the following methods:
- enable_editing(self, bool): Toggles the editability of the widget
Editor classes can optionally implement the following methods:
- _begin_edit(self): Used to provide additional behavior/polish when when the user has requested to edit the field. An example would be automatically showing a combobox popup menu or selecting the text in a line edit.
Editor classes can optionally set the following members:
- _IMMEDIATE_APPLY: If True, it implies that interaction with the editor will apply a value. If False (default), it implies that the user must apply the value as a separate action (like clicking an apply button). This mainly provides a display hint to the ShotgunFieldEditable wrapper.

If the check mark icon is clicked, the changes will be applied and the the display widget will be shown with the new value.

class shotgun_fields.shotgun_field_editable.ShotgunFieldEditable(display_widget, editor_widget, parent=None)[source]

Bases: QStackedWidget

Wraps DISPLAY and EDITOR widgets into a QStackedWidget instance to allow toggling between the two modes.

The class exposes the same public interface as individual field display and editor widgets.

Initialize the editable widget with the display and editor instances.

Parameters:

display_widget (QWidget) – The DISPLAY widget instance
editor_widget (QWidget) – The EDITOR widget instance
parent (QWidget) – The parent widget or None

destroy()[source]: Call to ensure proper destruction of contained widgets.

enable_editing(enable)[source]

For consistency, allow the calling code to enable/disable editing.

Calling this method with a value of False will force the display widget to be shown and the edit button to be hidden. A value of True will allow the edit button to be displayed again on mouse over.

Parameters:: enable – True if editing should be enabled, False otherwise.

get_entity()[source]: Returns the entity of the widget (display or editor) currently being shown.

get_entity_type()[source]: Returns the entity type of the widget (display or editor) currently being shown.

get_field_name()[source]: Returns the field name of the widget (display or editor) currently being shown.

get_value()[source]: Returns the value of the widget (display or editor) currently being shown.

set_value(value)[source]

Set the value of the widget (display or editor) currently being shown.

Note

Calling this method while the editor is displayed will trigger the value to be accepted and applied. The display widget will automatically be shown.

This widget’s value_changed() signal will also be emitted.

If an EDITABLE type is requested for a field that has no registered editor widget, then an instance of ShotgunFieldNotEditable will be returned. This class displays the editor with an additional icon when hovered that indicates that the field is not editable.

class shotgun_fields.shotgun_field_editable.ShotgunFieldNotEditable(display_widget, parent=None)[source]

Bases: QWidget

Simplified wrapper that indicates a field is not editable.

Adds a “no edit” icon when the supplied DISPLAY widget is hovered.

Initialize the widget.

Parameters:

display_widget (QWidget) – The DISPLAY widget instance
parent (QWidget) – The parent widget or None

enable_editing(enable)[source]

This method exists to allow this object to conform to the EDITABLE widget protocol.

Because this is a field that isn’t editable however, this method does nothing.

Base Classes

The following classes are used as base classes in one or more field widgets and may prove useful when diving into the details of a widget’s implementation.

Bubble Edit Widget

The BubbleEditWidget class is used as a base class for editing a list of objects. The MultiEntityEditorWidget is a subclass of the BubbleEditWidget.

class shotgun_fields.bubble_widget.BubbleEditWidget(parent=None)[source]

Bases: QTextEdit

This is a base class for “bubble” entry widgets.

Each object is represented by a “bubble” similar to email address entry widgets in modern email clients. Subclasses will typically handle the user interaction and decide when a new “bubble” should be added to the widget.

Initialize the widget.

Parameters:: parent (QWidget) – This widget’s parent widget

add_bubble(bubble)[source]

Add the supplied BubbleWidget instance to the editor.

Parameters:: bubble – The bubble widget instance.
Returns:: A unique id for the added bubble
Return type:: int

clear()[source]: Clears all bubbles from the editor.

clear_typed_text()[source]: Clears only typed text (not bubbles) from the editor.

get_bubble(bubble_id)[source]

Returns a bubble widget based on the supplied id.

The bubble_id should correspond to the unique ID returned by the add_bubble() method.

Parameters:: bubble_id – The id of the bubble to retrieve.
Returns:: A bubble widget or None if not match is found
Return type:: BubbleWidget

get_bubbles()[source]

Similar to get_bubble, but returns all bubble widgets.

Returns:: List of BubbleWidget classes
Return type:: list

get_typed_text()[source]: Returns a str representing the text typed in the editor.

remove_bubble(bubble_id)[source]

Remove a bubble matching the supplied id.

Parameters:: bubble_id (int) – The unique id of the bubble to reomve.
Returns:: The removed qt widget

The bubble_id should correspond to the unique ID returned by the add_bubble() method.

Bubble Widget

This class represents individual “bubbles” managed within a BubbleEditWidget subclasses.

class shotgun_fields.bubble_widget.BubbleWidget(parent=None)[source]

Bases: QFrame

This class represents a drawable “bubble” to display in a BubbleEditWidget

This widget will stores data for the object it represents. The data can be set and accessed via the respective get_data() and set_data() methods.

The widget can display an optional image along with its text. See the display related methods set_text() and set_image() below.

Signal:: remove_clicked() - emitted when the widget’s x button clicked.

Initialize the widget.

Parameters:: parent (QWidget) – This widget’s parent widget

set_text(label_text)[source]

Set the bubble’s display text.

Parameters:: label_text (str) – The display text

set_image(url)[source]

Set the bubble’s display image.

Parameters:: url (str) – The image url to display in the bubble.

set_removable(removable)[source]

Set whether or not the bubble is removable.

Shows or hides the x button depending on the value of the removable argument. :param bool removable: True if the bubble is removable, False otherwise.

get_data()[source]

Returns the underlying data object this widget represents.

The return type is intentionally unspecified since, in theory, the bubble could represent any type of data.

set_data(data)[source]

Set the underlying data object that this widget represents.

The type of data is intentionally unspecified since, in theory, the bubble could represent any type of data.

Field Widget Delegates

class shotgun_fields.shotgun_field_delegate.ShotgunFieldDelegate(sg_entity_type, field_name, display_class, editor_class, view, bg_task_manager=None)[source]

Bases: ShotgunFieldDelegateGeneric

Constructor

Parameters:

sg_entity_type (String) – Shotgun entity type
field_name (String) – Shotgun field name
display_class – A shotgun field QWidget to display the field info
editor_class – A shotgun field QWidget to edit the field info
view (QWidget) – The parent view for this delegate
bg_task_manager (BackgroundTaskManager) – Optional Task manager. If this is not passed in one will be created when the delegate widget is created.

setModelData(editor, model, index)[source]

Gets data from the editor widget and stores it in the specified model at the item index.

Parameters:

editor (QWidget) – The editor widget.
