The `[componentname]` could be one of the following:
* `filepicker/main` - File picker - allows to pick the file from Virtual Folder and it's WEBDAV URI is returned to managing page. See the demo at filepicker.html and filepickercomponent.html.
* `filemanager/main` - File manager - allows to browse files in defined file providers (demo view of PDB ). See the demo at filemanager.html.
* `dataset/main` - Dataset definition page - allows to define list of entries - PDB and Uniprot entries can be refined with
* `virtualfoldersettings/main` - Virtual Folder Settings page - allows to manage file providers (B2DROP,Dropbox,Filesystem,...)

## Flask integration example
Several web services provided within West-Life relies on [Flask python microframework](http://flask.pocoo.org/). Below are few lines allowing to handle the URL sent by the VF component. In this implementation, we assume that the Flask-wtf form, instead of taking a file as input, will deal with a `str` that is the URL sent by the VF component. The implementation example can be found at this URL (only for DEVELOPMENT purposes, do not advertise it!!!) ->
The field is declared in the `forms.py`:
```python
pdb_url = TextField(
u'OR select fixed chain from your VRE',
render_kw={'class': 'form-control', 'placeholder': 'File URL once selected'},
validators=[validators.Optional(), InvalidPDB_url()])
```
And in `submit.html`:
JavaScript
```javascript
$(document).ready(function(){
$('label[for="pdb_url"]').append('
Choose VRE file.')
}
// This does nothing, assuming the window hasn't changed its location.
function openwindow() {
target = event.target.parentNode.getAttribute('for');
popup=window.open('https://portal.west-life.eu/virtualfolder/filepickercomponent.html', 'newwindow', 'width=640, height=480');
}
function receiveMessage(event)
{
if (event.data != "") {
document.getElementById(target).value=event.data;
$('#'+target).trigger("change");
}
//popup.close(); //closed by child
}
window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);
```
HTML
```markup
```
Upon successful validation, we want to download the file to process them afterwards, in `views.py`:
```python
import urllib2
# Utility method to download a file locally from a URL
def download_file(file_url, work_dir, fname):
logging.info("VF URL: {}".format(file_url))
try:
u = urllib2.urlopen(file_url)
f = open(safe_join(work_dir, fname), 'wb')
block_sz = 8192
while True:
buffer = u.read(block_sz)
if not buffer:
break
f.write(buffer)
f.close()
except HTTPError:
logging.error("Error during file download, aborting...")
raise
@app.route('/submit', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def submit():
form = InputDataForm()
... # Initialization of different variables..
...
if form.validate_on_submit():
try:
# Get URL from the TextField
pdb_url = form['pdb_url'].data # Get
download_file(pdb_url, work_dir, fname)
print os.path.isfile(safe_join(work_dir, fname)) # Should return 'True'
```
