This implements most of
ItemsView
for components, which means that components can be iterated through, yielding pairs of(field_name, field_value)
. Importantly, this view is a flattened representation including the fields of all sub-components.As a result,
dict(component_instance)
is a meaningful construction. To illustrate, here is an example ofdict(component_instance)
for a component with a nested sub-component:In particular, this dict is the precise, minimal configuration needed to completely re-create the component, e.g. by doing:
The above will work even if default field values have changed since the old instance was created.
