This note defines accessors and the grammar used to write them to provide a lookup reference or cheat sheet when working with accessors in ERP5.

Accesors Explained¶
Accessors are functions dynamically generated on objects to access the member properties defined in PropertySheets. They also can access properties with complex relations to current object (like the default address of a related assignment of a person).
Base elements¶
Those elements serve as a base to the grammar definition.
lowercase ::= "a"..."z"
digit ::= "0"..."9"
property_id ::= lowercase (lowercase | "_")*
private ::= "_"
getter ::= "get"
setter ::= "set"
tester ::= "has"
default ::= "default"
translation ::= "translated"
translation_domain ::= "translation_domain"
list ::= "list"
set ::= "set"
property_super_private ::= "base"
category_super_private ::= "category"
Slot definition¶
Each slot can contain a value (or nothing).
private_slot ::= ( | private )
super_private_slot ::= ( | property_super_private | category_super_private )
type_slot ::= ( get | set | has )
translation_slot ::= ( | translation )
default_slot ::= ( | default )
cardinality_slot ::= ( | list | set | "s")
Slot assembly¶
accessor_id ::= private_slot super_private_slot type_slot "_" to finish...
Boolean Testers (is)¶
"Strange" Accessors (...Ids, ... Values)¶
These type of accessors are strange only in the fact that they do not follow the general naming conventions.
