•Directory structure: __init__.py, __manifest__.py, models, views, etc.
•Manifest File Usage:
•Defines module metadata (name, version, dependencies)
•Example of a manifest file:
{
'name': 'My Module',
'version': '1.0',
'depends': ['base'],
'data': ['views/my_view.xml'],
} 4
Writing Your First Module
•Steps to Create a Module:
[Link] a new directory for your
module
[Link] __init__.py and __manifest__.py
[Link] models and views
[Link] the module in Odoo
5
Relation Fields with Fields
•Types of Relation Fields:
•Many2one: One-to-many relationship
•One2many: Reverse of Many2one
•Many2many: Many-to-many relationship
•Example:
class MyModel([Link]):
_name = '[Link]'
partner_id = fields.Many2one('[Link]', string='Partner')
6
Views, Functions, and Menus
•Defining Views:
•XML files to define how data is presented
•Creating Menus:
•Example of a menu item in XML
<menuitem id="my_module_menu" name="My Module"sequence="10"/>
•Functions:
• Define business logic in Python methods
7
Widgets and Controls in UI
•What are Widgets?
•UI components that enhance user interaction
•Common Widgets:
•Many2one, One2many, Datepicker, etc.
•Example:
<field name="partner_id" widget="many2one"/>
8
Domain - Dynamic UI Visions
•What is a Domain?
•Filters applied to fields to limit data displayed
•Dynamic UI with Domains:
•Example of a domain filter:
<field name="partner_id" domain="[('is_company', '=', True)]"/>
9
Views and View Attributes
•Types of Views:
•Form View, Tree View, Kanban View, Calendar View
•View Attributes:
•create, edit, delete, search, etc.
•Example of a Form View:
<form>
<sheet>
<group>
<field name="name"/>
<field name="partner_id"/>
</group>
</sheet>
</form> 10
Diagram View and Graph View
•Diagram View:
•Visual representation of data relationships
•Graph View:
•Used for displaying data in a graphical format
•Example:
<graph>
<field name="date"/>
<field name="amount"/>
</graph>
11
Calendar View
•What is a Calendar View?
•Displays records in a calendar format
•Example:
<calendar string="My Calendar" date_start="start_date"
date_stop="end_date"/>
12
Model and Class Level Attributes
Model Attributes:
•Define the structure of the data
•Example of class-level attributes:
class MyModel([Link]):
_name = '[Link]'
_description = 'My Model Description'
13
Creating a Base Module
•What is a Base Module?
• A foundational module that other
modules can depend on
•Steps to Create:
• Define core models and views
• Ensure proper dependencies in the
manifest file
14
Field Parameters
•Common Field Parameters:
•string: User-friendly name
•required: Boolean to enforce field completion
•default: Default value for the field
•Example:
name = [Link](string='Name', required=True, default='New Record')
15
Complex Fields
•What are Complex Fields?
•Fields that require additional logic or structure
•Examples:
•Computed fields, related fields, and function fields
•Example of a Computed Field:
total_amount = [Link](compute='_compute_total_amount')
@[Link]('line_ids.price_total')
def _compute_total_amount(self):
for record in self:
record.total_amount = sum(line.price_total for line in record.line_ids) 16
Designing Kanban Views
•What is a Kanban View?
•A visual representation of records in a card
format
•Example of a Kanban View:
<kanban>
<field name="name"/>
