Display objects

The ListView and DetailView views have an enhanced fields attribute.

• The list view defaults to just show the object string; set it to None to show all fields

• The default view defaults to show all fields

• The fields attribute is normally a list of strings for the field names

• Enhanced display fields also support a DisplayValue instance

Fastview provides the following DisplayValue types:

• AttributeValue - show an attribute of the object. The following are equivalent:

  fields = ["name"]
  fields = [AttributeValue("name")]
  

  An AttributeValue can also take a label, eg AttributeValue("user", label="Name")

• ObjectValue - convert the object to a string using str(object)

Create a custom display value by subclassing one of those or the base DisplayValue class.
