## @page leobject_filters LeObject query filters
# The LeObject API provide methods that accept filters allowing the user
# to query the database and fetch LodelEditorialObjects.
#
# The LeObject API translate those filters for the datasource. 
# 
# @section api_user_side API user side filters
# Filters are string expressing a condition. The string composition
# is as follow : "<FIELD> <OPERATOR> <VALUE>"
# @subsection fpart FIELD
# @subsubsection standart fields
# Standart fields, represents a value of the LeObject for example "title", "lodel_id" etc.
# @subsubsection rfields relationnal fields
# relationnal fields, represents a relation with the object hierarchy. Those fields are composed as follow :
# "<RELATION>.<NATURE>".
#
# - Relation can takes two values : superiors or subordinates
# - Nature is a relation nature ( see EditorialModel.classtypes )
# Examples : "superiors.parent", "subordinates.translation" etc.
# @note The field_list arguement of leapi.leapi._LeObject.get() use the same syntax than the FIELD filter part 
# @subsection oppart OPERATOR
# The OPERATOR part of a filter is a comparison operator. There is
# - standart comparison operators : = , <, > , <=, >=, !=
# - vagueness string comparison 'like' and 'not like'
# - list operators : 'in' and 'not in'
# The list of allowed operators is sotred at leapi.leapi._LeObject._query_operators . 
# @subsection valpart VALUE
# The VALUE part of a filter is... just a value...
#
# @section datasource_side Datasource side filters
# As said above the API "translate" filters before forwarding them to the datasource. 
#
# The translation process transform filters in tuple composed of 3 elements
# ( @ref fpart , @ref oppart , @ref valpart ). Each element is a string.
#
# There is a special case for @ref rfields : the field element is a tuple composed with two elements
# ( RELATION, NATURE ) where NATURE is a string ( see EditorialModel.classtypes ) and RELATION is one of
# the defined constant : 
#
# - leapi.lecrud.REL_SUB for "subordinates"
# - leapi.lecrud.REL_SUP for "superiors"
#
# @note The filters translation process also check if given field are valids compared to the concerned letype and/or the leclass

## @page lecrud_instanciation LeCrud child classes instanciations
#
# _LeCrud provide a generic __init__ method for all its child classes. The following notes are
# important parts of the instanciation mechanism.
#
# The constructor takes 2 parameters : 
# - a uniq identifier (uid)
# - **kwargs for object datas
#
# @section lecrud_pi Partial instancation
#
# You can make partial instanciations by giving only parts of datas and even by giving only a uid
#
# @warning Partial instanciation needs an uid field name (lodel_id for LeObject and id_relation for LeRelation). This implies that you cannot make partial instance of a LeCrud.
#
# @subsection lecrud_pitools Partial instances tools
#
# The _LeCrud.is_complete() method indicates whether or not an instance is partial.
#
# The _LeCrud.populate() method fetch missing datas
#
# You partially instanciate an abtract class (like LeClass or LeRelation) using only a uid. Then you cannot populate this kind of instance (you cannot dinamically change the type of an instance). The _LeCrud.get_instance() method returns a populated instance with the good type.
#
