lino.core.userprefs

The user preferences registry.

Application code should get the preferences for a user by calling lino.modlib.users.User.get_preferences() which returns an object of this class.

There is one instance per user which will be created upon first request.

After instantiating a preferences object, Lino calls the setup_user_prefs of every installed plugin once on it. This feature is used by lino.modlib.dashboard).

(This module's source code is available here.)
