Pylons integration
==================

Bootstrap your project
----------------------

`FormAlchemy` come with a subclass of the Pylons_ template.
If you have Pylons_ and `FormAlchemy` installed you should see that::

  $ paster create --list-templates
  Available templates:
    basic_package:   A basic setuptools-enabled package
    paste_deploy:    A web application deployed through paste.deploy
    pylons:          Pylons application template
    pylons_fa:       Pylons application template with formalchemy support
    pylons_minimal:  Pylons minimal application template

To bootstrap a new Pylons_ project with `FormAlchemy` support enable just run::

  $ paster create -t pylons_fa pylonsapp

Using forms in controllers
--------------------------

Imagine you have a `Foo` model in your `model/__init__.py` then your controller
can look like this:

.. literalinclude:: ../pylonsapp/pylonsapp/controllers/basic.py

If you have a lot of fieldset and configuration stuff and want to use them in
different controller, then you can use the `forms/` module to put your
fieldsets. This is a standard and allow you to use the
:mod:`formalchemy.ext.pylons` extension
