Views

The individual screens and pages Uchi renders are divided into a set of views:

Edit
Index
New
Show

These map to the actions (and views) you know from standard Rails CRUD controllers. In Uchi the views are shared across all repositories, meaning it’s the same view template that renders the show page for all records.

In code each view is represented as a Uchi::View instance. Each instance is available as a constant, e.g. Uchi::View::NEW etc.

View	Constant
Edit	`Uchi::View::EDIT`
Index	`Uchi::View::INDEX`
New	`Uchi::View::NEW`
Show	`Uchi::View::SHOW`

In addition to these we have a few shorthands:

Constant	Description
`Uchi::View::ALL`	An `Array` with all the views
`Uchi::View::FORM`	An `Array` with views with form fields `[Uchi::View::EDIT, Uchi::View::NEW]`

You can use these when defining field visibility:

Field::Text.new(:slogan).on([Uchi::View::EDIT, Uchi::View::NEW])

Edit

The page where you edit the record in a repository.

Edit view

view = Uchi::View::EDIT
view.name #=> :edit
view.edit? #=> true

Index

The homepage for each repository, listing the first page of records.

Index view

view = Uchi::View::INDEX
view.name #=> :index
view.index? #=> true

New

A page to add new records to a repository.

New view

view = Uchi::View::NEW
view.name #=> :new
view.new? #=> true

Show

A page dedicated to showing the details of a record.

Show view

view = Uchi::View::SHOW
view.name #=> :show
view.show? #=> true
