httk.core.views.unviewing.unview(obj)

Shed the httk View wrapper from obj, returning a plain instance of the presented type.

Unlike unwrap(), which goes down to the backend’s raw source representation, unview goes sideways: it removes the httk wrapper while keeping the presentation the view exposes. The result is not promised to be a copy — it may alias the view’s (or the original input’s) storage; use the target representation’s normal copy operation when independent mutation is required. A non-View input is returned unchanged. Views that only adapt an interface and have no faithful standalone value raise TypeError.

Parameters:

obj (Any) – Value or view to shed.

Returns:

The presented value without its httk view wrapper.

Raises:

TypeError – If a view has no faithful standalone value.

Return type:

Any
