16:class:`Faculty`
17----------------
18
19.. class:: Faculty(title=u'Unnamed Faculty'[, title_prefix=u'faculty' [, code=u"NA"]])
20
21   Create a representation of a university faculty:
22
[7811]23     >>> from waeup.kofa.university.faculty import Faculty
[4423]24     >>> myfac = Faculty()
25     >>> myfac
[7811]26     <waeup.kofa.university.faculty.Faculty object at 0x...>
[4423]27
28   Another way to create :class:`Faculty` instances is by asking
29   for a factory called ``waeup.Faculty``. This way we can create a
30   faculty without importing a class:
31
32     >>> from zope.component import createObject
33     >>> myfac = createObject(u'waeup.Faculty')
34     >>> myfac
[7811]35     <waeup.kofa.university.faculty.Faculty object at 0x...>
[4423]36
37   :class:`Faculty` instances have the attributes required by the
38   `IFaculty` interface:
39
[7811]40     >>> from waeup.kofa.university.interfaces import IFaculty
[4423]41     >>> IFaculty.providedBy(myfac)
42     True
43
44     >>> from zope.interface.verify import verifyObject
45     >>> verifyObject(IFaculty, myfac)
46     True
47
48   .. method:: addDepartment(department)
49
50      Add a department into this faculty. Faculties are containers for
51      departments. Added objects are checked and only `IDepartment`
52      objects accepted:
53
54        >>> myfac.addDepartment(object())
55        Traceback (most recent call last):
56        ...
57        TypeError: Faculties contain only IDepartment instances
58
59        >>> list(myfac.values())
60        []
61
62      Regular departments are accepted:
63
[7811]64        >>> from waeup.kofa.university.department import Department
[4423]65        >>> myfac.addDepartment(Department(title='Physics',
66        ...                                code='DP'))
67
68        >>> list(myfac.items())
[7811]69        [(u'DP', <waeup.kofa.university.department.Department object at 0x...>)]
[4423]70
71
72   .. attribute:: title
73
74      (string) The title of a faculty.
75
76      Each faculty has a title:
77
78        >>> myfac.title
79        u'Unnamed Faculty'
80
81
82   .. attribute:: title_prefix
83
84      (string) The prefix of a faculty.
85
86      Each faculty has a title prefix, which specifies the kind of
87      institution:
88
89        >>> myfac.title_prefix
90        u'faculty'
91
92
93   .. attribute:: code
94
95      (string) An internally used unique code string.
96
97      Each faculty holds a code, which might be a shortcut or
98      abbreviation of the real faculty name. By default the code is
99      ``NA`` (=not assigned):
100
101        >>> myfac.code
102        u'NA'
103

108:class:`FacultyFactory`
109--------------------------
110
111.. class:: FacultyFactory()
112
113   .. attribute:: grok.name(u'waeup.Faculty')
114
115   .. attribute:: grok.implements(IFactory)
116
117   A named utility to deliver new instances of :class:`Faculty`
118   without the need to import the implementation before:
119
120     >>> from zope.component import createObject
121     >>> myfaculty = createObject(u'waeup.Faculty')
122     >>> myfaculty
[7811]123     <waeup.kofa.university.faculty.Faculty object at 0x...>
[4423]124
125   The factory complies with the specifications from the
126   :class:`IFactory` insterface:
127
128     >>> from zope.interface.verify import verifyClass
129     >>> from zope.component.interfaces import IFactory
[7811]130     >>> from waeup.kofa.university.faculty import FacultyFactory
[4423]131     >>> verifyClass(IFactory, FacultyFactory)
132     True
133
134   This means also, that we can get the interfaces of the created
135   object from the factory:
136
137     >>> faculty_factory = FacultyFactory()
138     >>> faculty_factory.getInterfaces()
[7811]139     <implementedBy waeup.kofa.university.faculty.Faculty>
[4423]140
141
142Examples:
143=========
144
[4157]145We can create faculties:
146
[7811]147    >>> from waeup.kofa.university.faculty import Faculty
[4157]148    >>> myfaculty = Faculty()
149    >>> myfaculty
[7811]150    <waeup.kofa.university.faculty.Faculty object at 0x...>
[4157]151
152Another way to create faculties is by asking for a factory called
[4423]153``waeup.Faculty``. Now we can create a factory without importing a
154class:
[4157]155
156    >>> from zope.component import createObject
157    >>> myfaculty = createObject(u'waeup.Faculty')
158    >>> myfaculty
[7811]159    <waeup.kofa.university.faculty.Faculty object at 0x...>
[4157]160
161Faculty attributes
162==================
163
164Faculties have the attributes required by the `IFaculty` interface:
165
[7811]166    >>> from waeup.kofa.university.interfaces import IFaculty
[4157]167    >>> IFaculty.providedBy(myfaculty)
168    True
169
170    >>> from zope.interface.verify import verifyObject
171    >>> verifyObject(IFaculty, myfaculty)
172    True
173
174Each of the following attributes is mandatory.
175
176`title`
177-------
178
179Each faculty has a title:
180
181    >>> myfaculty.title
182    u'Unnamed Faculty'
183
184`title_prefix`
185--------------
186
187Each faculty has a title prefix, which specifies the kind of
188institution:
189
190    >>> myfaculty.title_prefix
191    u'faculty'
192
193`code`
194------
195
196Each faculty holds a code, which might be a shortcut or abbreviation
[4232]197of the real faculty name. By default the code is ``NA`` (=not assigned):
[4157]198
[4232]199    >>> myfaculty.code
200    u'NA'
