Show a View instead of a RecordType in a CouchGrid

[José Ernesto Dávila Pantoja]

It would be a great feature to be able to show a DesktopCouch View instead of a RecordType in a CouchGrid. Right now you can do this:

keys = ["nombre", "email", "distro"]
record_type = "http://people.ubuntu.com/~josernestodavila/couch/PizzaBashLogDoc"
self.couchgrid = CouchGrid("pizzabashlog", record_type = record_type, keys = keys)
self.couchgrid.show()

I would like to do something like:

if not self.database.view_exists("asistencia_mensual", "pizzabashlog"):
    viewfn = 'function (doc){ emit([doc.mes], doc);}'
    self.database.add_view("asistencia_mensual", viewfn, None, "pizzabashlog")

results = self.database.execute_view("asistencia_mensual", "pizzabashlog")

keys = ["nombre", "email", "distro"]
record_type = "http://people.ubuntu.com/~josernestodavila/couch/PizzaBashLogDoc"
self.couchgrid = CouchGrid("pizzabashlog", record_type = record_type, keys = keys, records = results)
self.couchgrid.show()

There should be a better way to pass the results to the CouchGrid, but I just started with Python and I'm not pretty sure the right way to implement it, maybe passing the View name instead of the record_type and not passing the extra parameter to the constructor.

You're onto something, but I'm not entirely sure if I'd do it exactly like that. I'm going to have a look at some of these things in the not-too-distant future.
