Glossary
========
.. glossary::
accessor
Refers to an `.Accessor` object
column name
The name given to a column. In the follow example, the *column name* is
``age``.
.. sourcecode:: python
class SimpleTable(tables.Table):
age = tables.Column()
empty value
An empty value is synonymous with "no value". Columns have an
``empty_values`` attribute that contains values that are considered
empty. It's a way to declare which values from the database correspond
to *null*/*blank*/*missing* etc.
order by alias
A prefixed column name that describes how a column should impact the
order of data within the table. This allows the implementation of how
a column affects ordering to be abstracted, which is useful (e.g. in
query strings).
.. sourcecode:: python
class ExampleTable(tables.Table):
name = tables.Column(order_by=("first_name", "last_name"))
In this example ``-name`` and ``name`` are valid order by aliases. In
a query string you might then have ``?order=-name``.
table
The traditional concept of a table. i.e. a grid of rows and columns
containing data.
view
A Django view.
record
A single Python object used as the data for a single row.
render
The act of serializing a `.Table` into
HTML.
template
A Django template.
table data
An iterable of :term:`records <record>` that
`.Table` uses to populate its rows.
