Warning

Starting from CubicWeb version 4.0 all code related to generating html views has been moved to the Cube cubicweb_web.

If you want to migrate a project from 3.38 to 4.* while still using all the html views you need to both install the cubicweb_web cube AND add it to your dependencies and run add_cube('web').

cubicweb_web can be installed from pypi this way:

pip install cubicweb_web

We don’t plan to maintain the features in cubicweb_web in the long run; we are moving to a full javascript frontend using both cubicweb_api (which exposes a HTTP API) and @cubicweb/client as a frontend javascript toolkit.

In the long run cubicweb_api will be merged inside of CubicWeb.

Base views

CubicWeb provides a lot of standard views, that can be found in cubicweb_web.views sub-modules.

A certain number of views are used to build the web interface, which apply to one or more entities. As other appobjects, their identifier is what distinguish them from each others. The most generic ones, found in cubicweb_web.views.baseviews, are described below.

You’ll probably want to customize one or more of the described views which are default, generic, implementations.

You will also find modules providing some specific services:
