Why GAEO?

I need a web framework. webapp is too simple; django is too complicated.

GAEO: Google App Engine OilConvension over configuration.More easily development on GAE to Rails/Zend Framework developers.

What is GAEO?

Model-Template-Controller -based web framework.based on webappinspired from Rails/Zend Framework

Implemented in *pure* PythonMore libraries for request/response processing.

easy and powerful URL routing conventionsession supporteasy and quick for different output typeseasy object-relation-modelcontroller and model's hook

GAEO URL Routing

Default:http://example.com/foo/bar/1234

controller: foo (FooController class)action: bar (bar method in FooController)id: 1234

Configurable & Parameterize:route.connect('/signin', controller='account', action='signin')route.connect('/user/:name', controller='user', action='show')route.connect('/foo/:action/:x/:y/:z', controller='foo')

GAEO Action Controller

Each request is distributed to an actionIn GAEO, an action is a method of an action controller

Create a controller class that extends gaeo.controller.BaseControllerImplement the actionclass FooController(BaseController): def bar(self): """ TODO: do things for /foo/bar request """ pass

GAEO Action Controller (cont.)

Use render method to output different response data. (helps set the Content-Type header)Use redirect method to redirect to another action (or URL)Hook action in before_action and after_action functionMobile device detection. (_is_mobile, _is_iphone, _is_android) Session object.

GAEO Action Controller (cont.)Sample controller:

from gaeo.controller import BaseController

class FooController(BaseController): def bar(self): name = self.params.get('name', 'anonymous') self.render(html='<h1>Hello, %s' % name)

def update(self): if self._request_method == 'post': // update some model self.redirect('/foo/edit') else: self.render(text="Invalid Request")

GAEO Model

Extends GAE's Model class.Add one-to-many and many-to-many helperUpdate properties within single method -- update_attributesAdd before_put and after_put hook.

GAEO Model (cont.)

model sample:

from gaeo.model import BaseModel

class User(BaseModel): name = db.StringProperty() email = db.EmailProperty() created = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True)

def before_put(self): // TODO: check property values if failed: return False
