Class
caplin.presenter

PresentationModel

Extends caplin.presenter.node.PresentationNode.

The PresentationModel is used to transform a set of domain models into a form that is tightly aligned with the view that will be used to display and edit those domain models. As a consequence, the view becomes free of all logic, and components can be tested through the presentation model rather than using brittle, click-based testing via the view.

Presentation models are built as a tree of caplin.presenter.node.PresentationNode instances, where the root node must extend PresentationModel, which in turn extends caplin.presenter.node.PresentationNode.
