'list the fields of a dexterity object

I'd like to list all the fields (and the values) of a dexterity object.

I can easily access a single field value like this myobject.myfield

But I don't know how to list all the available fields of an object.

plone dexterity

Solution 1:^[1]

as David noted, I could not find a way to enumerate the fields coming from behaviors.

So, digging into plone.dexterity, in utils.getAdditionalSchemata function I found this way to roughly solve the problem:

from zope.schema import getFieldsInOrder
from plone.behavior.interfaces import IBehaviorAssignable

behavior_assignable = IBehaviorAssignable(context)
if behavior_assignable:
  behaviors = behavior_assignable.enumerateBehaviors()
  for behavior in behaviors:
    for k,v in getFieldsInOrder(behavior.interface):
      # ...

Solution 2:^[2]

I found a way to do it. Since the dexterity scheme varies I could not use Christophs suggestion directly. But this works now

for key, value in getFieldsInOrder(obj.getTypeInfo().lookupSchema()):
    value = getattr(getattr(obj, key), 'output', getattr(obj, key))

Solution 3:^[3]

You can alternatively use the FTI:

from plone.dexterity.interfaces import IDexterityFTI
from zope.component import getUtility

fti = getUtility(IDexterityFTI, name='rgd.venues.venue')
schema = fti.lookupSchema()
fields = getFieldsInOrder(schema)
for key, value in fields:
    # so something

Solution 4:^[4]

Figure out how to list all fields from fields and behaviors:

from plone.behavior.interfaces import IBehavior
from plone.dexterity.interfaces import IDexterityFTI
from zope.component import getUtility


def get_fields(portal_type):
    fti = getUtility(IDexterityFTI, name=portal_type)
    schema = fti.lookupSchema()
    fields = schema.names()
    for bname in fti.behaviors:
        factory = getUtility(IBehavior, bname)
        behavior = factory.interface
        fields += behavior.names()
    return fields

Solution 5:^[5]

You can use iterSchemata and getFieldsInOrder:

from plone.dexterity.utils import iterSchemata
from zope.schema import getFieldsInOrder

for schema in iterSchemata(obj):
    print(u'  %s' % schema)
    for field in getFieldsInOrder(schema):
        print(u'    %s\t%s' % field)

if obj is a Document it outputs
