module web.AbstractField
class AbstractField(parent, name, record[, options])
Extends
Parameters

    parent (Widget)

    name (string) -- The field name defined in the model

    record (Object) -- A record object (result of the get method of a basic model)

    options (AbstractFieldOptions)

namespace fieldDependencies

An object representing fields to be fetched by the model eventhough not present in the view This object contains "field name" as key and an object as value. That value object must contain the key "type" see FieldBinaryImage for an example.

attribute resetOnAnyFieldChange Boolean

If this flag is set to true, the field widget will be reset on every change which is made in the view (if the view supports it). This is currently a form view feature.

attribute specialData Boolean

If this flag is given a string, the related BasicModel will be used to initialize specialData the field might need. This data will be available through this.record.specialData[this.name].

attribute supportedFieldTypes Array<String>

to override to indicate which field types are supported by the widget

method start() → Deferred

When a field widget is appended to the DOM, its start method is called, and will automatically call render. Most widgets should not override this.

Return Type
method willStart()

Loads the libraries listed in this.jsLibs and this.cssLibs

method activate([options]) → boolean

Activates the field widget. By default, activation means focusing and selecting (if possible) the associated focusable element. The selecting part can be disabled. In that case, note that the focused input/textarea will have the cursor at the very end.

Parameters
Returns
true if the widget was activated, false if the focusable element was not found or invisible
Return Type
boolean
class ActivateOptions()
attribute noselect boolean
if false and the input
is of type text or textarea, the content will also be selected
attribute event Event

the event which fired this activation

function commitChanges() → Deferred|undefined

This function should be implemented by widgets that are not able to notify their environment when their value changes (maybe because their are not aware of the changes) or that may have a value in a temporary state (maybe because some action should be performed to validate it before notifying it). This is typically called before trying to save the widget's value, so it should call _setValue() to notify the environment if the value changed but was not notified.

Return Type
Deferred or undefined
function getFocusableElement() → jQuery

Returns the main field's DOM element (jQuery form) which can be focused by the browser.

Returns
main focusable element inside the widget
Return Type
jQuery
function isFocusable() → boolean

Returns true iff the widget has a visible element that can take the focus

Return Type
boolean
function isSet() → boolean

this method is used to determine if the field value is set to a meaningful value. This is useful to determine if a field should be displayed as empty

Return Type
boolean
function isValid() → boolean

A field widget is valid if it was checked as valid the last time its value was changed by the user. This is checked before saving a record, by the view.

Note: this is the responsability of the view to check that required fields have a set value.

Returns
true/false if the widget is valid
Return Type
boolean
function reset(record[, event]) → Deferred

this method is supposed to be called from the outside of field widgets. The typical use case is when an onchange has changed the widget value. It will reset the widget to the values that could have changed, then will rerender the widget.

Parameters

    record (any)

    event (OdooEvent) -- an event that triggered the reset action. It is optional, and may be used by a widget to share information from the moment a field change event is triggered to the moment a reset operation is applied.

Returns
A Deferred, which resolves when the widget rendering is complete
Return Type
class AbstractFieldOptions()
attribute mode string

should be 'readonly' or 'edit'

module web.ControlPanelMixin
namespace ControlPanelMixin

Mixin allowing widgets to communicate with the ControlPanel. Widgets needing a ControlPanel should use this mixin and call update_control_panel(cp_status) where cp_status contains information for the ControlPanel to update itself.

Note that the API is slightly awkward. Hopefully we will improve this when we get the time to refactor the control panel.

For example, here is what a typical client action would need to do to add support for a control panel with some buttons:

var ControlPanelMixin = require('web.ControlPanelMixin');

var SomeClientAction = Widget.extend(ControlPanelMixin, {
    ...
    start: function () {
        this._renderButtons();
        this._updateControlPanel();
        ...
    },
    do_show: function () {
         ...
         this._updateControlPanel();
    },
    _renderButtons: function () {
        this.$buttons = $(QWeb.render('SomeTemplate.Buttons'));
        this.$buttons.on('click', ...);
    },
    _updateControlPanel: function () {
        this.update_control_panel({
            breadcrumbs: this.action_manager.get_breadcrumbs(),
            cp_content: {
               $buttons: this.$buttons,
            },
     });
function update_control_panel([cp_status][, options])

Depends On
class AbstractRenderer(parent, state, params)
Extends
Parameters
method start() → Deferred

The rendering can be asynchronous (but it is not encouraged). The start method simply makes sure that we render the view.

Return Type
method getLocalState() → any

Returns any relevant state that the renderer might want to keep.

The idea is that a renderer can be destroyed, then be replaced by another one instantiated with the state from the model and the localState from the renderer, and the end result should be the same.

The kind of state that we expect the renderer to have is mostly DOM state such as the scroll position, the currently active tab page, ...

This method is called before each updateState, by the controller.

Return Type
any
method setLocalState(localState)

This is the reverse operation from getLocalState. With this method, we expect the renderer to restore all DOM state, if it is relevant.

This method is called after each updateState, by the controller.

Parameters
    localState (any) -- the result of a call to getLocalState
method updateState(state, params) → Deferred

Updates the state of the view. It retriggers a full rerender, unless told otherwise (for optimization for example).

Parameters
Return Type
class UpdateStateParams()
attribute noRender boolean

if true, the method only updates the state without rerendering

class AbstractRendererParams()
attribute noContentHelp string

Return Type
method get_default_view() → Object

  • use the first view in the view_order
Returns
the default view

Renders the control elements (buttons, sidebar, pager) of the current view. Fills this.active_view.control_elements dictionnary with the rendered elements and the adequate view switcher, to send to the ControlPanel. Warning: it should be called before calling do_show on the view as the sidebar is extended to listen on the load_record event triggered as soon as do_show is done (the sidebar should thus be instantiated before).

method setup_search_view()

Sets up the current viewmanager's search view. Sets $searchview and $searchview_buttons in searchview_elements to send to the ControlPanel

Provides a way for executing code once a website DOM element is loaded in the dom and handle the case where the website edit mode is triggered.

Also register AnimationEffect automatically (@see effects, _prepareEffects).

attribute selector Boolean

The selector attribute, if defined, allows to automatically create an instance of this animation on page load for each DOM element which matches this selector. The Animation.$target element will then be that particular DOM element. This should be the main way of instantiating Animation elements.

namespace edit_events

Acts as @see Widget.events except that the events are only binded if the Animation instance is instanciated in edit mode.

namespace read_events

Acts as @see Widget.events except that the events are only binded if the Animation instance is instanciated in readonly mode.

attribute maxFPS Number

method start()

Initializes the animation. The method should not be called directly as called automatically on animation instantiation and on restart.

Also, prepares animation's effects and start them if any.

method destroy()

Destroys the animation and basically restores the target to the state it was before the start method was called (unlike standard widget, the associated $el DOM is not removed).

Also stops animation effects and destroys them if any.

class AnimationEffect(parent, updateCallback[, startEvents][, $startTarget][, options])
Extends
Parameters

    parent (Object)

    updateCallback (function) -- the animation update callback

    startEvents=scroll (string) -- space separated list of events which starts the animation loop

    $startTarget=window (jQuery or DOMElement) -- the element(s) on which the startEvents are listened

    options (AnimationEffectOptions)

In charge of handling one animation loop using the requestAnimationFrame feature. This is used by the Animation class below and should not be called directly by an end developer.

This uses a simple API: it can be started, stopped, played and paused.

method start()

Initializes when the animation must be played and paused and initializes the animation first frame.

method stop()

Pauses the animation and destroys the attached events which trigger the animation to be played or paused.

method play(e)

Parameters
    e (Event) -- the event which triggered the animation to play
method pause()

Forces the requestAnimationFrame loop to stop.

animation, i.e. for two same value, no refreshing of the animation is needed. Can be used for optimization. If the $startTarget is the window element, this defaults to returning the current scoll offset of the window or the size of the window for the scroll and resize events respectively.
attribute endEvents string
space separated list of events which pause the animation loop. If
not given, the animation is stopped after a while (if no startEvents is received again)
attribute $endTarget jQuery|DOMElement

method canBeSaved(recordID) → string[]

This method has two responsabilities: find every invalid fields in the current view, and making sure that they are displayed as invalid, by toggling the o_form_invalid css class. It has to be done both on the widget, and on the label, if any.

Parameters
    recordID (string)
Returns
the list of invalid field names
Return Type
Array<string>
method commitChanges(recordID) → Deferred

Calls 'commitChanges' on all field widgets, so that they can notify the environment with their current value (useful for widgets that can't detect when their value changes or that have to validate their changes before notifying them).

Parameters
    recordID (string)
Return Type
method confirmChange(state, id, fields, ev) → Deferred<AbstractField[]>

Updates the internal state of the renderer to the new state. By default, this also implements the recomputation of the modifiers and their application to the DOM and the reset of the field widgets if needed.

In case the given record is not found anymore, a whole re-rendering is completed (possible if a change in a record caused an onchange which erased the current record).

We could always rerender the view from scratch, but then it would not be as efficient, and we might lose some local state, such as the input focus cursor, or the scrolling position.

Parameters

    state (Object)

    id (string)

    fields (Array<string>)

    ev (OdooEvent)

Returns
resolved with the list of widgets that have been reset

method addDefaultRecord(listID[, options]) → Deferred<string>

Add a default record to a list object. This method actually makes a new record with the _makeDefaultRecord method, then adds it to the list object. The default record is added in the data directly. This is meant to be used by list or kanban controllers (i.e. not for x2manys in form views, as in this case, we store changes as commands).

Parameters
Returns
resolves to the id of the new created record
Return Type
Deferred<string>
class AddDefaultRecordOptions()
attribute position string
if the new record should be added
on top or on bottom of the list
function applyDefaultValues(recordID, values[, options]) → Deferred

Add and process default values for a given record. Those values are parsed and stored in the '_changes' key of the record. For relational fields, sub-dataPoints are created, and missing relational data is fetched. Also generate default values for fields with no given value. Typically, this function is called with the result of a 'default_get' RPC, to populate a newly created dataPoint. It may also be called when a one2many subrecord is open in a form view (dialog), to generate the default values for the fields displayed in the o2m form view, but not in the list or kanban (mainly to correctly create sub-dataPoints for relational fields).

Parameters

    recordID (string) -- local id for a record

    values (Object) -- dict of default values for the given record

    options (ApplyDefaultValuesOptions)

Return Type
class ApplyDefaultValuesOptions()
attribute viewType string
current viewType. If not set, we will
assume main viewType from the record
attribute fieldNames Array
list of field names for which a
default value must be generated (used to complete the values dict)
function applyRawChanges(recordID, viewType) → Deferred<string>

Onchange RPCs may return values for fields that are not in the current view. Those fields might even be unknown when the onchange returns (e.g. in x2manys, we only know the fields that are used in the inner view, but not those used in the potential form view opened in a dialog when a sub- record is clicked). When this happens, we can't infer their type, so the given value can't be processed. It is instead stored in the '_rawChanges' key of the record, without any processing. Later on, if this record is displayed in another view (e.g. the user clicked on it in the x2many list, and the record opens in a dialog), those changes that were left behind must be applied. This function applies changes stored in '_rawChanges' for a given viewType.

Parameters

    recordID (string) -- local resource id of a record

    viewType (string) -- the current viewType

Returns
resolves to the id of the record
Return Type
Deferred<string>
function deleteRecords(recordIds, modelName) → Deferred

Delete a list of records, then, if the records have a parent, reload it.

Parameters

    recordIds (Array<string>) -- list of local resources ids. They should all be of type 'record', be of the same model and have the same parent.

    modelName (string) -- mode name used to unlink the records

Return Type
function discardChanges(id[, options])

Discard all changes in a local resource. Basically, it removes everything that was stored in a _changes key.

Parameters
class DiscardChangesOptions()
attribute rollback boolean
if true, the changes will
be reset to the last _savePoint, otherwise, they are reset to null
function duplicateRecord(recordID) → Deferred<string>

Duplicate a record (by calling the 'copy' route)

Parameters
    recordID (string) -- id for a local resource
Returns
resolves to the id of duplicate record
Return Type
Deferred<string>
function get(id, options) → Object

The get method first argument is the handle returned by the load method. It is optional (the handle can be undefined). In some case, it makes sense to use the handle as a key, for example the BasicModel holds the data for various records, each with its local ID.

synchronous method, it assumes that the resource has already been loaded.

Parameters

    id (string) -- local id for the resource

    options (GetOptions)

Return Type
Object
class GetOptions()
attribute env boolean
if true, will only return res_id
(if record) or res_ids (if list)
attribute raw boolean

if true, will not follow relations

function getName(id) → string

Returns the current display_name for the record.

Parameters
    id (string) -- the localID for a valid record element
Return Type
string
function canBeAbandoned(id) → boolean

Returns true if a record can be abandoned from a list datapoint.

A record cannot be abandonned if it has been registered as "added" in the parent's savepoint, otherwise it can be abandonned.

This is useful when discarding changes on this record, as it means that we must keep the record even if some fields are invalids (e.g. required field is empty).

Parameters
    id (string) -- id for a local resource
Return Type
boolean
function isDirty(id) → boolean

Returns true if a record is dirty. A record is considered dirty if it has some unsaved changes, marked by the _isDirty property on the record or one of its subrecords.

Parameters
    id (string) -- the local resource id
Return Type
boolean
function isNew(id) → boolean

Check if a localData is new, meaning if it is in the process of being created and no actual record exists in db. Note: if the localData is not of the "record" type, then it is always considered as not new.

Note: A virtual id is a character string composed of an integer and has a dash and other information. E.g: in calendar, the recursive event have virtual id linked to a real id virtual event id "23-20170418020000" is linked to the event id 23

Parameters
    id (string) -- id for a local resource
Return Type
boolean

changes on the record before reloading it
function removeLine(elementID)

In some case, we may need to remove an element from a list, without going through the notifyChanges machinery. The motivation for this is when the user click on 'Add an item' in a field one2many with a required field, then clicks somewhere else. The new line need to be discarded, but we don't want to trigger a real notifyChanges (no need for that, and also, we don't want to rerender the UI).

Parameters

The DomainSelector widget can be used to build prefix char domain. It is the DomainTree specialization to use to have a fully working widget.

Known limitations:

  • Some operators like "child_of", "parent_of", "like", "not like", "=like", "=ilike" will come only if you use them from demo data or debug input.
  • Some kind of domain can not be build right now e.g ("country_id", "in", [1,2,3]) but you can insert from debug input.
method setDomain(domain) → Deferred

Changes the internal domain value and forces a reparsing and rerendering. If the internal domain value was already equal to the given one, this does nothing.

Parameters
    domain (Array or string)
Returns
resolved when the rerendering is finished
Return Type
class DomainLeaf(parent, model, domain, options)
Extends
Parameters

    parent

    model

    domain

    options

DomainNode which handles a domain which cannot be split in another subdomains, i.e. composed of a field chain, an operator and a value.

method willStart() → Deferred

Prepares the information the rendering of the widget will need by pre-instantiating its internal field selector widget.

Return Type
class DomainTree(parent, model, domain, options)
Extends
Parameters

    parent

    model

    domain

    options

DomainNode which can handle subdomains (a domain which is composed of multiple parts). It thus will be composed of other DomainTree instances and/or leaf parts of a domain (@see DomainLeaf).

function instantiateNode(parent, model, domain, options) → DomainTree|DomainLeaf|null

Instantiates a DomainTree if the given domain contains several parts and a DomainLeaf if it only contains one part. Returns null otherwise.

Parameters

    parent (Object)

    model (string) -- the model name

    domain (Array or string) -- the prefix representation of the domain

    options (Object) -- @see DomainNode.init.options

Return Type
class DomainNode(parent, model, domain[, options])
Extends
Parameters

    parent (Object)

    model (string) -- the model name

    domain (Array or string) -- the prefix representation of the domain

    options (DomainNodeOptions) -- an object with possible values:

Abstraction for widgets which can represent and allow edition of a domain.

method isValid() → boolean

Should return if the node is representing a well-formed domain, whose field chains properly belong to the associated model.

Return Type
boolean
method getDomain() → Array

Should return the prefix domain the widget is currently representing (an array).

Return Type
Array
class DomainNodeOptions()

an object with possible values:

attribute readonly boolean

true if is readonly

attribute operators string[]

a list of available operators (null = all of supported ones)

attribute debugMode boolean

class SnippetOption(parent, $target, $overlay, data)
Extends
Parameters

    parent

    $target

    $overlay

    data

Handles a set of options for one snippet. The registry returned by this module contains the names of the specialized SnippetOption which can be referenced thanks to the data-js key in the web_editor options template.

attribute preventChildPropagation Boolean

When editing a snippet, its options are shown alongside the ones of its parent snippets. The parent options are only shown if the following flag is set to false (default).

method start()

Called when the option is initialized (i.e. the parent edition overlay is shown for the first time).

method onFocus()

Called when the parent edition overlay is covering the associated snippet (the first time, this follows the call to the @see start method).

method onBuilt()

Called when the parent edition overlay is covering the associated snippet for the first time, when it is a new snippet dropped from the d&d snippet menu. Note: this is called after the start and onFocus methods.

method onBlur()

Called when the parent edition overlay is removed from the associated snippet (another snippet enters edition for example).

method onClone(options)

Called when the associated snippet is the result of the cloning of another snippet (so this.$target is a cloned element).

Parameters
class OnCloneOptions()
attribute isCurrent boolean
true if the associated snippet is a clone of the main element that
was cloned (so not a clone of a child of this main element that was cloned)
function onMove()

Called when the associated snippet is moved to another DOM location.

function onRemove()

Called when the associated snippet is about to be removed from the DOM.

function cleanForSave()

Called when the template which contains the associated snippet is about to be saved.

function selectClass(previewMode, value, $li)

Default option method which allows to select one and only one class in the option classes set and set it on the associated snippet. The common case is having a subdropdown with each <li/> having a data-select-class value allowing to choose the associated class.

Parameters

    previewMode (boolean or string) -- truthy if the option is enabled for preview or if leaving it (in that second case, the value is 'reset') - false if the option should be activated for good

    value (any) -- the class to activate ($li.data('selectClass'))

    $li (jQuery) -- the related DOMElement option

function toggleClass(previewMode, value, $li)

Default option method which allows to select one or multiple classes in the option classes set and set it on the associated snippet. The common case is having a subdropdown with each <li/> having a data-toggle-class value allowing to toggle the associated class.

Parameters

    previewMode

    value

    $li

function $()

Override the helper method to search inside the $target element instead of the dropdown <li/> element.

function notify(name, data)

Parameters

    name (string) -- an identifier for a type of update

    data (any)

function setTarget($target)

Sometimes, an option is binded on an element but should in fact apply on another one. For example, elements which contain slides: we want all the per-slide options to be in the main menu of the whole snippet. This function allows to set the option's target.

Improved John Resig's inheritance, based on:

Simple JavaScript Inheritance By John Resig http://ejohn.org/ MIT Licensed.

Adds "include()"

Defines The Class object. That object can be used to define and inherit classes using the extend() method.

Example:

var Person = Class.extend({
 init: function(isDancing){
    this.dancing = isDancing;
  },
  dance: function(){
    return this.dancing;
  }
});

The init() method act as a constructor. This class can be instanced this way:

var person = new Person(true);
person.dance();

The Person class can also be extended again:

var Ninja = Person.extend({
  init: function(){
    this._super( false );
  },
  dance: function(){
    // Call the inherited version of dance()
    return this._super();
  },
  swingSword: function(){
    return true;
  }
});

When extending a class, each re-defined method can use this._super() to call the previous implementation of that method.

method extend(prop)

Subclass an existing class

Parameters
    prop (Object) -- class-level properties (class attributes and instance methods) to set on the new class

method getController()

This override is quite tricky: the graph renderer uses Raphael.js to render itself, so it needs it to be loaded in the window before rendering However, the raphael.js library is built in such a way that if it detects that a module system is present, it will try to use it. So, in that case, it is not available on window.Raphael. This means that the diagram view is then broken.

As a workaround, we simply remove and restore the define function, if present, while we are loading Raphael.

module web.AbstractView
class AbstractView(viewInfo, params)
Extends
Parameters
method getController(parent) → Deferred

Main method of the view class. Create a controller, and make sure that data and libraries are loaded.

There is a unusual thing going in this method with parents: we create renderer/model with parent as parent, then we have to reassign them at the end to make sure that we have the proper relationships. This is necessary to solve the problem that the controller need the model and the renderer to be instantiated, but the model need a parent to be able to load itself, and the renderer needs the data in its constructor.

Parameters
    parent (Widget) -- The parent of the resulting Controller (most likely a view manager)
Returns
The deferred resolves to a controller
Return Type
method getModel(parent) → Object

Returns the view model or create an instance of it if none

Parameters
    parent (Widget) -- the parent of the model, if it has to be created
Returns
instance of the view model
Return Type
Object
method getRenderer(parent, state) → Object

Returns the a new view renderer instance

Parameters

    parent (Widget) -- the parent of the model, if it has to be created

    state (Object) -- the information related to the rendered view

Returns
instance of the view renderer
Return Type

class Class()

Improved John Resig's inheritance, based on:

Simple JavaScript Inheritance By John Resig http://ejohn.org/ MIT Licensed.

Adds "include()"

Defines The Class object. That object can be used to define and inherit classes using the extend() method.

Example:

var Person = Class.extend({
 init: function(isDancing){
    this.dancing = isDancing;
  },
  dance: function(){
    return this.dancing;
  }
});

The init() method act as a constructor. This class can be instanced this way:

var person = new Person(true);
person.dance();

The Person class can also be extended again:

var Ninja = Person.extend({
  init: function(){
    this._super( false );
  },
  dance: function(){
    // Call the inherited version of dance()
    return this._super();
  },
  swingSword: function(){
    return true;
  }
});

When extending a class, each re-defined method can use this._super() to call the previous implementation of that method.

method extend(prop)

Subclass an existing class

Parameters
    prop (Object) -- class-level properties (class attributes and instance methods) to set on the new class
function _t(source) → String

Eager translation function, performs translation immediately at call site. Beware using this outside of method bodies (before the translation database is loaded), you probably want _lt() instead.

Parameters

Return Type
String
function _lt(s) → Object

Lazy translation function, only performs the translation when actually printed (e.g. inserted into a template)

Useful when defining translatable strings in code evaluated before the translation database is loaded, as class attributes or at the top-level of an OpenERP Web module

Parameters
    s (String) -- string to translate
Returns
lazy translation object
Return Type
Object

class Widget(parent)
Extends
Mixes
Parameters
    parent (openerp.Widget) -- Binds the current instance to the given Widget instance. When that widget is destroyed by calling destroy(), the current instance will be destroyed too. Can be null.

Base class for all visual components. Provides a lot of functions helpful for the management of a part of the DOM.

Widget handles:

  • Rendering with QWeb.
  • Life-cycle management and parenting (when a parent is destroyed, all its children are destroyed too).
  • Insertion in DOM.

Guide to create implementations of the Widget class

Here is a sample child class:

var MyWidget = openerp.base.Widget.extend({
    // the name of the QWeb template to use for rendering
    template: "MyQWebTemplate",

    init: function(parent) {
        this._super(parent);
        // stuff that you want to init before the rendering
    },
    start: function() {
        // stuff you want to make after the rendering, `this.$el` holds a correct value
        this.$(".my_button").click(/* an example of event binding * /);

        // if you have some asynchronous operations, it's a good idea to return
        // a promise in start()
        var promise = this._rpc(...);
        return promise;
    }
});

Now this class can simply be used with the following syntax:

var my_widget = new MyWidget(this);
my_widget.appendTo($(".some-div"));

With these two lines, the MyWidget instance was initialized, rendered, inserted into the DOM inside the .some-div div and its events were bound.

And of course, when you don't need that widget anymore, just do:

my_widget.destroy();

That will kill the widget in a clean way and erase its content from the dom.

attribute template String

The name of the QWeb template that will be used for rendering. Must be redefined in subclasses or the default render() method can not be used.

attribute xmlDependencies string[]

List of paths to xml files that need to be loaded before the widget can be rendered. This will not induce loading anything that has already been loaded.

method willStart() → Deferred

Method called between @see init and @see start. Performs asynchronous calls required by the rendering and the start method.

This method should return a Deferred which is resolved when start can be executed.

Extends
Mixes
Parameters
    parent (openerp.Widget) -- Binds the current instance to the given Widget instance. When that widget is destroyed by calling destroy(), the current instance will be destroyed too. Can be null.

Base class for all visual components. Provides a lot of functions helpful for the management of a part of the DOM.

Widget handles:

  • Rendering with QWeb.
  • Life-cycle management and parenting (when a parent is destroyed, all its children are destroyed too).
  • Insertion in DOM.

Guide to create implementations of the Widget class

Here is a sample child class:

var MyWidget = openerp.base.Widget.extend({
    // the name of the QWeb template to use for rendering
    template: "MyQWebTemplate",

    init: function(parent) {
        this._super(parent);
        // stuff that you want to init before the rendering
    },
    start: function() {
        // stuff you want to make after the rendering, `this.$el` holds a correct value
        this.$(".my_button").click(/* an example of event binding * /);

        // if you have some asynchronous operations, it's a good idea to return
        // a promise in start()
        var promise = this._rpc(...);
        return promise;
    }
});

Now this class can simply be used with the following syntax:

var my_widget = new MyWidget(this);
my_widget.appendTo($(".some-div"));

With these two lines, the MyWidget instance was initialized, rendered, inserted into the DOM inside the .some-div div and its events were bound.

And of course, when you don't need that widget anymore, just do:

my_widget.destroy();

function asyncWhen() → Deferred

The jquery implementation for $.when has a (most of the time) useful property: it is synchronous, if the deferred is resolved immediately.

This means that when we execute $.when(def), then all registered callbacks will be executed before the next line is executed. This is useful quite often, but in some rare cases, we might want to force an async behavior. This is the purpose of this function, which simply adds a setTimeout before resolving the deferred.

Return Type
function delay([wait]) → Deferred

Returns a deferred resolved after 'wait' milliseconds

Parameters
    wait=0 (int) -- the delay in ms
Return Type
class DropMisordered([failMisordered])
Extends
Parameters
    failMisordered=false (boolean) -- whether mis-ordered responses should be failed or just ignored

The DropMisordered abstraction is useful for situations where you have a sequence of operations that you want to do, but if one of them completes after a subsequent operation, then its result is obsolete and should be ignored.

Note that is is kind of similar to the DropPrevious abstraction, but subtly different. The DropMisordered operations will all resolves if they complete in the correct order.

method add(deferred) → Deferred

Adds a deferred (usually an async request) to the sequencer

Parameters
Return Type
class DropPrevious()
Extends

The DropPrevious abstraction is useful when you have a sequence of operations that you want to execute, but you only care of the result of the last operation.

For example, let us say that we have a _fetch method on a widget which fetches data. We want to rerender the widget after. We could do this:

this._fetch().then(function (result) {
    self.state = result;
    self.render();
});

Now, we have at least two problems:

  • if this code is called twice and the second _fetch completes before the first, the end state will be the result of the first _fetch, which is not what we expect
  • in any cases, the user interface will rerender twice, which is bad.

Now, if we have a DropPrevious:

this.dropPrevious = new DropPrevious();

Then we can wrap the _fetch in a DropPrevious and have the expected result:

this.dropPrevious
    .add(this._fetch())
    .then(function (result) {
        self.state = result;
        self.render();
    });
method add(deferred) → Promise

Registers a new deferred and rejects the previous one

Parameters
Return Type
Promise
class Mutex()
Extends

A (Odoo) mutex is a primitive for serializing computations. This is useful to avoid a situation where two computations modify some shared state and cause some corrupted state.

Imagine that we have a function to fetch some data _load(), which returns a deferred which resolves to something useful. Now, we have some code looking like this:

return this._load().then(function (result) {
    this.state = result;
});

If this code is run twice, but the second execution ends before the first, then the final state will be the result of the first call to _load. However, if we have a mutex:

this.mutex = new Mutex();

and if we wrap the calls to _load in a mutex:

return this.mutex.exec(function() {
    return this._load().then(function (result) {
        this.state = result;
    });
});

Then, it is guaranteed that the final state will be the result of the second execution.

A Mutex has to be a class, and not a function, because we have to keep track of some internal state.

method exec(action) → Deferred

Add a computation to the queue, it will be executed as soon as the previous computations are completed.

Parameters
    action (function) -- a function which may return a deferred
Return Type

module web.ListRenderer
class ListRenderer(parent, state, params)
Parameters
method canBeSaved([recordID]) → string[]

If the given recordID is the list main one (or that no recordID is given), then the whole view can be saved if one of the two following conditions is true: - There is no line in edition (all lines are saved so they are all valid) - The line in edition can be saved

Parameters
    recordID (string)
Return Type
Array<string>
method confirmChange(state, id)

We need to override the confirmChange method from BasicRenderer to reevaluate the row decorations. Since they depends on the current value of the row, they might have changed between each edit.

Parameters

    state

    id

method confirmUpdate(state, id, fields, ev) → Deferred<AbstractField[]>

This is a specialized version of confirmChange, meant to be called when the change may have affected more than one line (so, for example, an onchange which add/remove a few lines in a x2many. This does not occur in a normal list view)

The update is more difficult when other rows could have been changed. We need to potentially remove some lines, add some other lines, update some other lines and maybe reorder a few of them. This problem would neatly be solved by using a virtual dom, but we do not have this luxury yet. So, in the meantime, what we do is basically remove every current row except the 'main' one (the row which caused the update), then rerender every new row and add them before/after the main one.

Parameters

    state (Object)

    id (string)

    fields (Array<string>)

    ev (OdooEvent)

Returns
resolved with the list of widgets that have been reset
Return Type
method editRecord(recordID)

Edit a given record in the list

Parameters
    recordID (string)
method getEditableRecordID() → string|null

Returns the recordID associated to the line which is currently in edition or null if there is no line in edition.

Return Type
string or null
method removeLine(state, recordID)

Removes the line associated to the given recordID (the index of the row is found thanks to the old state), then updates the state.

Parameters

    state (Object)

    recordID (string)

method setRowMode(recordID, mode) → Deferred

Updates the already rendered row associated to the given recordID so that it fits the given mode.

Parameters

    recordID (string)

    mode (string)

Return Type
method unselectRow() → Deferred

This method is called whenever we click/move outside of a row that was in edit mode. This is the moment we save all accumulated changes on that row, if needed (@see BasicController.saveRecord).

Note that we have to disable the focusable elements (inputs, ...) to prevent subsequent editions. These edits would be lost, because the list view only saves records when unselecting a row.

Returns
The deferred resolves if the row was unselected (and possibly removed). If may be rejected, when the row is dirty and the user refuses to discard its changes.

    reject=false (bool) -- If true, the returned promise will be rejected with no arguments if the current object is destroyed. If false, the returned promise will never be resolved or rejected.

Returns
A promise that will mirror the given promise if everything goes fine but will either be rejected with no arguments or never resolved if the current object is destroyed.
Return Type
jQuery.Deferred
function destroy()

Inform the object it should destroy itself, releasing any resource it could have reserved.

function findAncestor(predicate)

Find the closest ancestor matching predicate

Parameters
    predicate
namespace
mixin ParentedMixin

Mixin to structure objects' life-cycles folowing a parent-children relationship. Each object can a have a parent and multiple children. When an object is destroyed, all its children are destroyed too releasing any resource they could have reserved before.

function setParent(parent)

Set the parent of the current object. When calling this method, the parent will also be informed and will return the current object when its getChildren() method is called. If the current object did already have a parent, it is unregistered before, which means the previous parent will not return the current object anymore when its getChildren() method is called.

Parameters
    parent
function getParent()

Return the current parent of the object (or null).

function getChildren()

Return a list of the children of the current object.

function isDestroyed()

Returns true if destroy() was called on the current object.

function alive(promise[, reject]) → $.Deferred

Utility method to only execute asynchronous actions if the current object has not been destroyed.

Parameters

    promise (jQuery.Deferred) -- The promise representing the asynchronous action.

    reject=false (bool) -- If true, the returned promise will be rejected with no arguments if the current object is destroyed. If false, the returned promise will never be resolved or rejected.

Returns
A promise that will mirror the given promise if everything goes fine but will either be rejected with no arguments or never resolved if the current object is destroyed.
Return Type
jQuery.Deferred
function destroy()

Inform the object it should destroy itself, releasing any resource it could have reserved.

function findAncestor(predicate)

Find the closest ancestor matching predicate

Parameters
    predicate
mixin EventDispatcherMixin

Mixin containing an event system. Events are also registered by specifying the target object (the object which will receive the event when it is raised). Both the event-emitting object and the target object store or reference to each other. This is used to correctly remove all reference to the event handler when any of the object is destroyed (when the destroy() method from ParentedMixin is called). Removing those references is necessary to avoid memory leak and phantom events (events which are raised and sent to a previously destroyed object).

function ready() → Deferred

If a widget needs to be instantiated on page loading, it needs to wait for appropriate resources to be loaded. This function returns a Deferred which is resolved when the dom is ready, the session is bound (translations loaded) and the XML is loaded. This should however not be necessary anymore as widgets should not be parentless and should then be instantiated (directly or not) by the page main component (webclient, website root, editor bar, ...). The DOM will be ready then, the main component is in charge of waiting for the session and the XML can be lazy loaded thanks to the @see Widget.xmlDependencies key.

Return Type

function loadLibs(libs) → Deferred

Loads the given js and css libraries. Note that the ajax loadJS and loadCSS methods don't do anything if the given file is already loaded.

Parameters
Return Type
class LoadLibsLibs()
attribute cssLibs Array<string>
A list of css files, to be loaded in
parallel
namespace ajax
namespace loadXML

Loads an XML file according to the given URL and adds its associated qweb templates to the given qweb engine. The function can also be used to get the deferred which indicates when all the calls to the function are finished.

function jsonp(form, attributes, callback)

Safari does not deal well at all with raw JSON data being returned. As a result, we're going to cheat by using a pseudo-jsonp: instead of getting JSON data in the iframe, we're getting a script tag which consists of a function call and the returned data (the json dump).

The function is an auto-generated name bound to window, which calls back into the callback provided here.

Parameters

module web.LocalStorageService
class LocalStorageService()
module web.AbstractController
class AbstractController(parent, model, renderer, params)
Extends
Parameters
method start() → Deferred

Simply renders and updates the url.

Return Type
method discardChanges([recordID]) → Deferred

Discards the changes made on the record associated to the given ID, or all changes made by the current controller if no recordID is given. For example, when the user open the 'home' screen, the view manager will call this method on the active view to make sure it is ok to open the home screen (and lose all current state).

Note that it returns a deferred, because the view could choose to ask the user if he agrees to discard.

Parameters
    recordID (string) -- if not given, we consider all the changes made by the controller
Returns
resolved if properly discarded, rejected otherwise
Return Type
method getContext() → Object

Returns any special keys that may be useful when reloading the view to get the same effect. This is necessary for saving the current view in the favorites. For example, a graph view might want to add a key to save the current graph type.

Return Type
Object
method getTitle() → string

Returns a title that may be displayed in the breadcrumb area. For example, the name of the record.

Note: this seems wrong right now, it should not be implemented, we have no guarantee that there is a display_name variable in a controller.

Return Type
string
method is_action_enabled(action) → boolean

The use of this method is discouraged. It is still snakecased, because it currently is used in many templates, but we will move to a simpler mechanism as soon as we can.

Parameters
    action (string) -- type of action, such as 'create', 'read', ...
Return Type
boolean
method reload([params]) → Deferred

Short helper method to reload the view

Parameters
    params (Object) -- This object will simply be given to the update
Return Type
method renderButtons($node)

Most likely called by the view manager, this method is responsible for adding buttons in the control panel (buttons such as save/discard/...)

Note that there is no guarantee that this method will be called. The controller is supposed to work even without a view manager, for example in the frontend (odoo frontend = public website)

Parameters
    $node (jQuery)
method renderPager($node)

For views that require a pager, this method will be called to allow the controller to instantiate and render a pager. Note that in theory, the controller can actually render whatever he wants in the pager zone. If your view does not want a pager, just let this method empty.

Parameters
    $node (Query)
method renderSidebar($node)

Same as renderPager, but for the 'sidebar' zone (the zone with the menu dropdown in the control panel next to the buttons)

Parameters
    $node (Query)
method setScrollTop(scrollTop)

Not sure about this one, it probably needs to be reworked, maybe merged in get/set local state methods.

Parameters
    scrollTop (number)
method update(params[, options]) → Deferred

This is the main entry point for the controller. Changes from the search view arrive in this method, and internal changes can sometimes also call this method. It is basically the way everything notifies the controller that something has changed.

The update method is responsible for fetching necessary data, then updating the renderer and wait for the rendering to complete.

Parameters

    params (Object) -- will be given to the model and to the renderer

    options (UpdateOptions)

Return Type
class UpdateOptions()
attribute reload boolean

if true, the model will reload data

class AbstractControllerParams()
attribute modelName string
attribute handle any

Returns
SQL-like sorting string (``ORDER BY``) clause
Return Type
String
function deserialize_sort(criterion)

Reverse of the serialize_sort function: convert an array of SQL-like sort descriptors into a list of fields prefixed with '-' if necessary.

Parameters

Depends On
class Registry([mapping])
Extends
Parameters
    mapping (Object) -- the initial data in the registry

The registry is really pretty much only a mapping from some keys to some values. The Registry class only add a few simple methods around that to make it nicer and slightly safer.

Note that registries have a fundamental problem: the value that you try to get in a registry might not have been added yet, so of course, you need to make sure that your dependencies are solid. For this reason, it is a good practice to avoid using the registry if you can simply import what you need with the 'require' statement.

However, on the flip side, sometimes you cannot just simply import something because we would have a dependency cycle. In that case, registries might help.

method add(key, value) → Registry

Add a key (and a value) to the registry.

Parameters

    key (string)

    value (any)

Returns
can be used to chain add calls.
Return Type
method contains(key) → boolean

Check if the registry contains the value

Parameters
    key (string)
Return Type
boolean
method extend([mapping])

Creates and returns a copy of the current mapping, with the provided mapping argument added in (replacing existing keys if needed)

Parent and child remain linked, a new key in the parent (which is not overwritten by the child) will appear in the child.

Parameters
    mapping={} (Object) -- a mapping of keys to object-paths
method get(key) → any

Returns the value associated to the given key.

Parameters
    key (string)
Return Type
any
method getAny(keys) → any

Tries a number of keys, and returns the first object matching one of the keys.

Parameters

Returns
the first result found matching an object
Return Type
any

DebouncedField

This widget is intended to be used on Text fields. It will provide Ace Editor for editing XML and Python.

class FieldDomain()

The "Domain" field allows the user to construct a technical-prefix domain thanks to a tree-like interface and see the selected records in real time. In debug mode, an input is also there to be able to enter the prefix char domain directly (or to build advanced domains the tree-like interface does not allow to).

attribute specialData String

Fetches the number of records which are matched by the domain (if the domain is not server-valid, the value is false) and the model the field must work with.

method isSet()

A domain field is always set since the false value is considered to be equal to "[]" (match all records).

Widgets

class Widget()

Exported in web.Widget, the base class for all visual components. It corresponds to an MVC view, and provides a number of service to simplify handling of a section of a page:

  • Handles parent/child relationships between widgets
  • Provides extensive lifecycle management with safety features (e.g. automatically destroying children widgets during the destruction of a parent)
  • Automatic rendering with qweb
  • Backbone-compatible shortcuts

DOM Root

A Widget() is responsible for a section of the page materialized by the DOM root of the widget.

A widget's DOM root is available via two attributes:

Widget.el

raw DOM element set as root to the widget

Widget.$el

jQuery wrapper around el

There are two main ways to define and generate this DOM root:

Widget.template

Should be set to the name of a QWeb template. If set, the template will be rendered after the widget has been initialized but before it has been started. The root element generated by the template will be set as the DOM root of the widget.

Widget.tagName

Used if the widget has no template defined. Defaults to div, will be used as the tag name to create the DOM element to set as the widget's DOM root. It is possible to further customize this generated DOM root with the following attributes:

Widget.id

Used to generate an id attribute on the generated DOM root.

Widget.className

Used to generate a class attribute on the generated DOM root.

Widget.attributes

Mapping (object literal) of attribute names to attribute values. Each of these k:v pairs will be set as a DOM attribute on the generated DOM root.

None of these is used in case a template is specified on the widget.

The DOM root can also be defined programmatically by overridding

Widget.renderElement()

Renders the widget's DOM root and sets it. The default implementation will render a set template or generate an element as described above, and will call setElement() on the result.

Any override to renderElement() which does not call its _super must call setElement() with whatever it generated or the widget's behavior is undefined.

Using a widget

A widget's lifecycle has 3 main phases:

  • creation and initialization of the widget instance

    Widget.init(parent)

    initialization method of widgets, synchronous, can be overridden to take more parameters from the widget's creator/parent

    Arguments
    • parent (Widget()) -- the new widget's parent, used to handle automatic destruction and event propagation. Can be null for the widget to have no parent.
  • DOM injection and startup, this is done by calling one of:

    Widget.appendTo(element)

    Renders the widget and inserts it as the last child of the target, uses .appendTo()

    Widget.prependTo(element)

    Renders the widget and inserts it as the first child of the target, uses .prependTo()

    Widget.insertAfter(element)

    Renders the widget and inserts it as the preceding sibling of the target, uses .insertAfter()

    Widget.insertBefore(element)

    Renders the widget and inserts it as the following sibling of the target, uses .insertBefore()

    All of these methods accept whatever the corresponding jQuery method accepts (CSS selectors, DOM nodes or jQuery objects). They all return a deferred and are charged with three tasks:

    • rendering the widget's root element via renderElement()
    • inserting the widget's root element in the DOM using whichever jQuery method they match
    • starting the widget, and returning the result of starting it

      Widget.start()

      asynchronous startup of the widget once it's been injected in the DOM, generally used to perform asynchronous RPC calls to fetch whatever remote data is necessary for the widget to do its work.

      Must return a deferred to indicate when its work is done.

      A widget is not guaranteed to work correctly until its start() method has finished executing. The widget's parent/creator must wait for a widget to be fully started before interacting with it

      Returns
      deferred object
  • widget destruction and cleanup

    Widget.destroy()

    destroys the widget's children, unbinds its events and removes its root from the DOM. Automatically called when the widget's parent is destroyed, must be called explicitly if the widget has no parents or if it is removed but its parent remains.

    A widget being destroyed is automatically unlinked from its parent.

Related to widget destruction is an important utility method:

Widget.alive(deferred[, reject=false])

A significant issue with RPC and destruction is that an RPC call may take a long time to execute and return while a widget is being destroyed or after it has been destroyed, trying to execute its operations on a widget in a broken/invalid state.

This is a frequent source of errors or strange behaviors.

alive() can be used to wrap an RPC call, ensuring that whatever operations should be executed when the call ends are only executed if the widget is still alive:

this.alive(this.model.query().all()).then(function (records) {
    // would break if executed after the widget is destroyed, wrapping
    // rpc in alive() prevents execution
    _.each(records, function (record) {
        self.$el.append(self.format(record));
    });
});
Arguments
  • deferred -- a deferred object to wrap
  • reject -- by default, if the RPC call returns after the widget has been destroyed the returned deferred is left in limbo (neither resolved nor rejected). If reject is set to true, the deferred will be rejected instead.
Returns
deferred object
Widget.isDestroyed()
Returns
true if the widget is being or has been destroyed, false otherwise

Accessing DOM content

Because a widget is only responsible for the content below its DOM root, there
is a shortcut for selecting sub-sections of a widget's DOM:
Widget.$(selector)

Applies the CSS selector specified as parameter to the widget's DOM root:

this.$(selector);

is functionally identical to:

this.$el.find(selector);
Arguments
  • selector (String) -- CSS selector
Returns
jQuery object

Resetting the DOM root

Widget.setElement(element)

Re-sets the widget's DOM root to the provided element, also handles re-setting the various aliases of the DOM root as well as unsetting and re-setting delegated events.

Arguments
  • element (Element) -- a DOM element or jQuery object to set as the widget's DOM root

DOM events handling

A widget will generally need to respond to user action within its section of the page. This entails binding events to DOM elements.

To this end, Widget() provides a shortcut:

Widget.events

Events are a mapping of an event selector (an event name and an optional CSS selector separated by a space) to a callback. The callback can be the name of a widget's method or a function object. In either case, the this will be set to the widget:

events: {
    'click p.oe_some_class a': 'some_method',
    'change input': function (e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
    }
},

The selector is used for jQuery's event delegation, the callback will only be triggered for descendants of the DOM root matching the selector1. If the selector is left out (only an event name is specified), the event will be set directly on the widget's DOM root.

Widget.delegateEvents()

This method is in charge of binding events to the DOM. It is automatically called after setting the widget's DOM root.

It can be overridden to set up more complex events than the events map allows, but the parent should always be called (or events won't be handled correctly).

Widget.undelegateEvents()

This method is in charge of unbinding events from the DOM root when the widget is destroyed or the DOM root is reset, in order to avoid leaving "phantom" events.

It should be overridden to un-set any event set in an override of delegateEvents().

Subclassing Widget

Widget() is subclassed in the standard manner (via the extend() method), and provides a number of abstract properties and concrete methods (which you may or may not want to override). Creating a subclass looks like this:

var MyWidget = Widget.extend({
    // QWeb template to use when rendering the object
    template: "MyQWebTemplate",
    events: {
        // events binding example
        'click .my-button': 'handle_click',
    },

    init: function(parent) {
        this._super(parent);
        // insert code to execute before rendering, for object
        // initialization
    },
    start: function() {
        var sup = this._super();
        // post-rendering initialization code, at this point

        // allows multiplexing deferred objects
        return $.when(
            // propagate asynchronous signal from parent class
            sup,
            // return own's asynchronous signal
            this.rpc(/* … */))
    }
});

The new class can then be used in the following manner:

// Create the instance
var my_widget = new MyWidget(this);
// Render and insert into DOM
my_widget.appendTo(".some-div");

After these two lines have executed (and any promise returned by appendTo() has been resolved if needed), the widget is ready to be used.

If the widget is not needed anymore (because it's transient), simply terminate it:

my_widget.destroy();

will unbind all DOM events, remove the widget's content from the DOM and destroy all widget data.

Development Guidelines

  • Identifiers (id attribute) should be avoided. In generic applications and modules, id limits the re-usability of components and tends to make code more brittle. Most of the time, they can be replaced with nothing, classes or keeping a reference to a DOM node or jQuery element.

    If an id is absolutely necessary (because a third-party library requires one), the id should be partially generated using _.uniqueId() e.g.:

    this.id = _.uniqueId('my-widget-')
    
  • Avoid predictable/common CSS class names. Class names such as "content" or "navigation" might match the desired meaning/semantics, but it is likely an other developer will have the same need, creating a naming conflict and unintended behavior. Generic class names should be prefixed with e.g. the name of the component they belong to (creating "informal" namespaces, much as in C or Objective-C).
  • Global selectors should be avoided. Because a component may be used several times in a single page (an example in Odoo is dashboards), queries should be restricted to a given component's scope. Unfiltered selections such as $(selector) or document.querySelectorAll(selector) will generally lead to unintended or incorrect behavior. Odoo Web's Widget() has an attribute providing its DOM root ($el), and a shortcut to select nodes directly ($()).
  • More generally, never assume your components own or controls anything beyond its own personal $el
  • html templating/rendering should use QWeb unless absolutely trivial.
  • All interactive components (components displaying information to the screen or intercepting DOM events) must inherit from Widget() and correctly implement and use its API and life cycle.

To display and interact with data, calls to the Odoo server are necessary. This is performed using RPC <Remote Procedure Call>.

Odoo Web provides two primary APIs to handle this: a low-level JSON-RPC based API communicating with the Python section of Odoo Web (and of your module, if you have a Python part) and a high-level API above that allowing your code to talk directly to high-level Odoo models.

All networking APIs are asynchronous. As a result, all of them will return Deferred objects (whether they resolve those with values or not). Understanding how those work before before moving on is probably necessary.

High-level API: calling into Odoo models

Access to Odoo object methods (made available through XML-RPC from the server) is done via Model(). It maps onto the Odoo server objects via two primary methods, call() (exported in web.Model) and query() (exported in web.DataModel, only available in the backend client).

call() is a direct mapping to the corresponding method of the Odoo server object. Its usage is similar to that of the Odoo Model API, with three differences:

  • The interface is asynchronous, so instead of returning results directly RPC method calls will return Deferred instances, which will themselves resolve to the result of the matching RPC call.
  • Because ECMAScript 3/Javascript 1.5 doesnt feature any equivalent to __getattr__ or method_missing, there needs to be an explicit method to dispatch RPC methods.
  • No notion of pooler, the model proxy is instantiated where needed, not fetched from an other (somewhat global) object:

    var Users = new Model('res.users');
    
    Users.call('change_password', ['oldpassword', 'newpassword'],
                      {context: some_context}).then(function (result) {
        // do something with change_password result
    });
    

query() is a shortcut for a builder-style interface to searches (search + read in Odoo RPC terms). It returns a Query() object which is immutable but allows building new Query() instances from the first one, adding new properties or modifiying the parent object's:

Users.query(['name', 'login', 'user_email', 'signature'])
     .filter([['active', '=', true], ['company_id', '=', main_company]])
     .limit(15)
     .all().then(function (users) {
    // do work with users records
});

The query is only actually performed when calling one of the query serialization methods, all() and first(). These methods will perform a new RPC call every time they are called.

For that reason, it's actually possible to keep "intermediate" queries around and use them differently/add new specifications on them.

Deferred<Number>
odoo.web.Query.group_by(grouping...)

Fetches the groups for the query, using the first specified grouping parameter

Arguments
  • grouping (Array<String>) -- Lists the levels of grouping asked of the server. Grouping can actually be an array or varargs.
Return type
Deferred<Array<odoo.web.QueryGroup>> | null

The second set of methods is the "mutator" methods, they create a new Query() object with the relevant (internal) attribute either augmented or replaced.

odoo.web.Query.context(ctx)

Adds the provided ctx to the query, on top of any existing context

odoo.web.Query.filter(domain)

Adds the provided domain to the query, this domain is AND-ed to the existing query domain.

opeenrp.web.Query.offset(offset)

Sets the provided offset on the query. The new offset replaces the old one.

odoo.web.Query.limit(limit)

Sets the provided limit on the query. The new limit replaces the old one.

odoo.web.Query.order_by(fields…)

Overrides the model's natural order with the provided field specifications. Behaves much like Django's QuerySet.order_by:

  • Takes 1..n field names, in order of most to least importance (the first field is the first sorting key). Fields are provided as strings.
  • A field specifies an ascending order, unless it is prefixed with the minus sign "-" in which case the field is used in the descending order

Divergences from Django's sorting include a lack of random sort (? field) and the inability to "drill down" into relations for sorting.

Aggregation (grouping)

Odoo has powerful grouping capacities, but they are kind-of strange in that they're recursive, and level n+1 relies on data provided directly by the grouping at level n. As a result, while odoo.models.Model.read_group() works it's not a very intuitive API.

Odoo Web eschews direct calls to read_group() in favor of calling a method of Query(), much in the way it is done in SQLAlchemy 2:

some_query.group_by(['field1', 'field2']).then(function (groups) {
    // do things with the fetched groups
});

This method is asynchronous when provided with 1..n fields (to group on) as argument, but it can also be called without any field (empty fields collection or nothing at all). In this case, instead of returning a Deferred object it will return null.

When grouping criterion come from a third-party and may or may not list fields (e.g. could be an empty list), this provides two ways to test the presence of actual subgroups (versus the need to perform a regular query for records):

  • A check on group_by's result and two completely separate code paths:

    var groups;
    if (groups = some_query.group_by(gby)) {
        groups.then(function (gs) {
            // groups
        });
    }
    // no groups
    
  • Or a more coherent code path using when()'s ability to coerce values into deferreds:

    $.when(some_query.group_by(gby)).then(function (groups) {
        if (!groups) {
            // No grouping
        } else {
            // grouping, even if there are no groups (groups
            // itself could be an empty array)
        }
    });
    

The result of a (successful) group_by() is an array of QueryGroup():

class odoo.web.QueryGroup()
odoo.web.QueryGroup.get(key)

returns the group's attribute key. Known attributes are:

grouped_on
which grouping field resulted from this group
value
grouped_on's value for this group
length
the number of records in the group
aggregates
a {field: value} mapping of aggregations for the group
odoo.web.QueryGroup.query([fields...])

equivalent to Model.query() but pre-filtered to only include the records within this group. Returns a Query() which can be further manipulated as usual.

odoo.web.QueryGroup.subgroups()

returns a deferred to an array of QueryGroup() below this one

Low-level API: RPC calls to Python side

While the previous section is great for calling core OpenERP code (models code), it does not work if you want to call the Python side of Odoo Web.

For this, a lower-level API exists on on Session() objects (the class is exported in web.Session, but an instance isusually available through web.session): the rpc method.

This method simply takes an absolute path (the absolute URL of the JSON route to call) and a mapping of attributes to values (passed as keyword arguments to the Python method). This function fetches the return value of the Python methods, converted to JSON.

For instance, to call the resequence of the DataSet() controller:

session.rpc('/web/dataset/resequence', {
    model: some_model,
    ids: array_of_ids,
    offset: 42
}).then(function (result) {
    // resequence didn't error out
}, function () {
    // an error occured during during call
});

Javascript module system overview

A new module system (inspired from requirejs) has now been deployed. It has many advantages over the Odoo version 8 system.

  • loading order: dependencies are guaranteed to be loaded first, even if files are not loaded in the correct order in the bundle files.
  • easier to split a file into smaller logical units.
  • no global variables: easier to reason.
  • it is possible to examine every dependencies and dependants. This makes refactoring much simpler, and less risky.

It has also some disadvantages:

  • files are required to use the module system if they want to interact with odoo, since the various objects are only available in the module system, and not in global variables
  • circular dependencies are not supported. It makes sense, but it means that one needs to be careful.

This is obviously a very large change and will require everyone to adopt new habits. For example, the variable odoo does not exist anymore. The new way of doing things is to import explicitely the module you need, and declaring explicitely the objects you export. Here is a simple example:

odoo.define('addon_name.service', function (require) {
    var utils = require('web.utils');
    var Model = require('web.Model');

    // do things with utils and Model
    var something_useful = 15;
    return  {
        something_useful: something_useful,
    };
});

This snippet shows a module named addon_name.service. It is defined with the odoo.define function. odoo.define takes a name and a function for arguments:

  • The name is the concatenation of the name of the addon it is defined in and a name describing its purpose.
  • The function is the place where the javascript module is actually defined. It takes a function require as first argument, and returns something (or not, depending if it needs to export something). The require function is used to get a handle on the dependencies. In this case, it gives a handle on two javascript modules from the web addon, namely web.utils and web.Model.

The idea is that you define what you need to import (by using the require function) and declare what you export (by returning something). The web client will then make sure that your code is loaded properly.

Modules are contained in a file, but a file can define several modules (however, it is better to keep them in separate files).

Each module can return a deferred. In that case, the module is marked as loaded only when the deferred is resolved, and its value is equal to the resolved value. The module can be rejected (unloaded). This will be logged in the console as info.

  • Missing dependencies: These modules do not appear in the page. It is possible that the JavaScript file is not in the page or that the module name is wrong
  • Failed modules: A javascript error is detected
  • Rejected modules: The module returns a rejected deferred. It (and its dependent modules) is not loaded.
  • Rejected linked modules: Modules who depend on a rejected module
  • Non loaded modules: Modules who depend on a missing or a failed module

Web client structure

The web client files have been refactored into smaller and simpler files. Here is a description of the current file structure:

  • the framework/ folder contains all basic low level modules. The modules here are supposed to be generic. Some of them are:

    • web.ajax implements rpc calls
    • web.core is a generic modules. It exports various useful objects and functions, such as qweb, _t or the main bus.
    • web.Widget contains the widget class
    • web.Model is an abstraction over web.ajax to make calls to the server model methods
    • web.session is the former odoo.session
    • web.utils for useful code snippets
    • web.time for every time-related generic functions
  • the views/ folder contains all view definitions
  • widgets/ is for standalone widgets

The js/ folder also contains some important files:

  • action_manager.js is the ActionManager class
  • boot.js is the file actually implementing the module system
  • menu.js is the definition of the top menu
  • web_client.js is for the root widget WebClient
  • view_manager.js contains the ViewManager

The two other files are tour.js for the tours and compatibility.js. The latter file is a compatibility layer bridging the old system to the new module system. This is where every module names are exported to the global variable odoo. In theory, our addons should work without ever using the variable odoo, and the compatibility module can be disabled safely.

Javascript conventions

Here are some basic conventions for the javascript code:

  • declare all your dependencies at the top of the module. Also, they should be sorted alphabetically by module name. This makes it easier to understand your module.
  • declare all exports at the end.
  • add the use strict statement at the beginning of every module
  • always name your module properly: addon_name.description.
  • use capital letters for classes (for example, ActionManager is defined in the module web.ActionManager), and lowercase for everything else (for example, ajax is defined in web.ajax).
  • declare one module per file

Javascript Unit Testing

Odoo Web includes means to unit-test both the core code of Odoo Web and your own javascript modules. On the javascript side, unit-testing is based on QUnit with a number of helpers and extensions for better integration with Odoo.

To see what the runner looks like, find (or start) an Odoo server with the web client enabled, and navigate to /web/tests This will show the runner selector, which lists all modules with javascript unit tests, and allows starting any of them (or all javascript tests in all modules at once).

Clicking any runner button will launch the corresponding tests in the bundled QUnit runner:

Writing a test case

The first step is to list the test file(s). This is done through the test key of the Odoo manifest, by adding javascript files to it:

{
    'name': "Demonstration of web/javascript tests",
    'category': 'Hidden',
    'depends': ['web'],
    'test': ['static/tests/demo.js'],
}

and to create the corresponding test file(s)

After that, refreshing the runner selector will display the new module and allow running all of its (0 so far) tests:

The next step is to create a test case:

odoo.testing.section('basic section', function (test) {
    test('my first test', function () {
        ok(false, "this test has run");
    });
});

All testing helpers and structures live in the odoo.testing module. Odoo tests live in a section(), which is itself part of a module. The first argument to a section is the name of the section, the second one is the section body.

test, provided by the section() to the callback, is used to register a given test case which will be run whenever the test runner actually does its job. Odoo Web test case use standard QUnit assertions within them.

Launching the test runner at this point will run the test and display the corresponding assertion message, with red colors indicating the test failed:

Fixing the test (by replacing false to true in the assertion) will make it pass:

Assertions

As noted above, Odoo Web's tests use qunit assertions. They are available globally (so they can just be called without references to anything). The following list is available:

ok(state[, message])

checks that state is truthy (in the javascript sense)

strictEqual(actual, expected[, message])

checks that the actual (produced by a method being tested) and expected values are identical (roughly equivalent to ok(actual === expected, message))

notStrictEqual(actual, expected[, message])

checks that the actual and expected values are not identical (roughly equivalent to ok(actual !== expected, message))

deepEqual(actual, expected[, message])

deep comparison between actual and expected: recurse into containers (objects and arrays) to ensure that they have the same keys/number of elements, and the values match.

notDeepEqual(actual, expected[, message])

inverse operation to deepEqual()

throws(block[, expected][, message])

checks that, when called, the block throws an error. Optionally validates that error against expected.

Arguments
  • block (Function) --
  • expected (Error | RegExp) -- if a regexp, checks that the thrown error's message matches the regular expression. If an error type, checks that the thrown error is of that type.
equal(actual, expected[, message])

checks that actual and expected are loosely equal, using the == operator and its coercion rules.

notEqual(actual, expected[, message])

inverse operation to equal()

Getting an Odoo instance

The Odoo instance is the base through which most Odoo Web modules behaviors (functions, objects, …) are accessed. As a result, the test framework automatically builds one, and loads the module being tested and all of its dependencies inside it. This new instance is provided as the first positional parameter to your test cases. Let's observe by adding javascript code (not test code) to the test module:

{
    'name': "Demonstration of web/javascript tests",
    'category': 'Hidden',
    'depends': ['web'],
    'js': ['static/src/js/demo.js'],
    'test': ['static/tests/demo.js'],
}
// src/js/demo.js
odoo.web_tests_demo = function (instance) {
    instance.web_tests_demo = {
        value_true: true,
        SomeType: instance.web.Class.extend({
            init: function (value) {
                this.value = value;
            }
        })
    };
};

and then adding a new test case, which simply checks that the instance contains all the expected stuff we created in the module:

// test/demo.js
test('module content', function (instance) {
    ok(instance.web_tests_demo.value_true, "should have a true value");
    var type_instance = new instance.web_tests_demo.SomeType(42);
    strictEqual(type_instance.value, 42, "should have provided value");
});

DOM Scratchpad

As in the wider client, arbitrarily accessing document content is strongly discouraged during tests. But DOM access is still needed to e.g. fully initialize widgets before testing them.

Thus, a test case gets a DOM scratchpad as its second positional parameter, in a jQuery instance. That scratchpad is fully cleaned up before each test, and as long as it doesn't do anything outside the scratchpad your code can do whatever it wants:

// test/demo.js
test('DOM content', function (instance, $scratchpad) {
    $scratchpad.html('<div><span class="foo bar">ok</span></div>');
    ok($scratchpad.find('span').hasClass('foo'),
       "should have provided class");
});
test('clean scratchpad', function (instance, $scratchpad) {
    ok(!$scratchpad.children().length, "should have no content");
    ok(!$scratchpad.text(), "should have no text");
});

Loading templates

To avoid the corresponding processing costs, by default templates are not loaded into QWeb. If you need to render e.g. widgets making use of QWeb templates, you can request their loading through the templates option to the test case function.

This will automatically load all relevant templates in the instance's qweb before running the test case:

{
    'name': "Demonstration of web/javascript tests",
    'category': 'Hidden',
    'depends': ['web'],
    'js': ['static/src/js/demo.js'],
    'test': ['static/tests/demo.js'],
    'qweb': ['static/src/xml/demo.xml'],
}
<!-- src/xml/demo.xml -->
<templates id="template" xml:space="preserve">
    <t t-name="DemoTemplate">
        <t t-foreach="5" t-as="value">
            <p><t t-esc="value"/></p>
        </t>
    </t>
</templates>
// test/demo.js
test('templates', {templates: true}, function (instance) {
    var s = instance.web.qweb.render('DemoTemplate');
    var texts = $(s).find('p').map(function () {
        return $(this).text();
    }).get();

    deepEqual(texts, ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4']);
});

Asynchronous cases

The test case examples so far are all synchronous, they execute from the first to the last line and once the last line has executed the test is done. But the web client is full of asynchronous code, and thus test cases need to be async-aware.

This is done by returning a deferred from the case callback:

// test/demo.js
test('asynchronous', {
    asserts: 1
}, function () {
    var d = $.Deferred();
    setTimeout(function () {
        ok(true);
        d.resolve();
    }, 100);
    return d;
});

This example also uses the options parameter to specify the number of assertions the case should expect, if less or more assertions are specified the case will count as failed.

Asynchronous test cases must specify the number of assertions they will run. This allows more easily catching situations where e.g. the test architecture was not warned about asynchronous operations.

RPC

An important subset of asynchronous test cases is test cases which need to perform (and chain, to an extent) RPC calls.

To enable mock RPC, set the rpc option to mock. This will add a third parameter to the test case callback:

mock(rpc_spec, handler)

Can be used in two different ways depending on the shape of the first parameter:

  • If it matches the pattern model:method (if it contains a colon, essentially) the call will set up the mocking of an RPC call straight to the Odoo server (through XMLRPC) as performed via e.g. odoo.web.Model.call().

    In that case, handler should be a function taking two arguments args and kwargs, matching the corresponding arguments on the server side and should simply return the value as if it were returned by the Python XMLRPC handler:

    test('XML-RPC', {rpc: 'mock', asserts: 3}, function (instance, $s, mock) {
        // set up mocking
        mock('people.famous:name_search', function (args, kwargs) {
            strictEqual(kwargs.name, 'bob');
            return [
                [1, "Microsoft Bob"],
                [2, "Bob the Builder"],
                [3, "Silent Bob"]
            ];
        });
    
        // actual test code
        return new instance.web.Model('people.famous')
            .call('name_search', {name: 'bob'}).then(function (result) {
                strictEqual(result.length, 3, "shoud return 3 people");
                strictEqual(result[0][1], "Microsoft Bob",
                    "the most famous bob should be Microsoft Bob");
            });
    });
    
  • Otherwise, if it matches an absolute path (e.g. /a/b/c) it will mock a JSON-RPC call to a web client controller, such as /web/webclient/translations. In that case, the handler takes a single params argument holding all of the parameters provided over JSON-RPC.

    As previously, the handler should simply return the result value as if returned by the original JSON-RPC handler:

    test('JSON-RPC', {rpc: 'mock', asserts: 3, templates: true}, function (instance, $s, mock) {
        var fetched_dbs = false, fetched_langs = false;
        mock('/web/database/get_list', function () {
            fetched_dbs = true;
            return ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'];
        });
        mock('/web/session/get_lang_list', function () {
            fetched_langs = true;
            return [['vo_IS', 'Hopelandic / Vonlenska']];
        });
    
        // widget needs that or it blows up
        instance.webclient = {toggle_bars: odoo.testing.noop};
        var dbm = new instance.web.DatabaseManager({});
        return dbm.appendTo($s).then(function () {
            ok(fetched_dbs, "should have fetched databases");
            ok(fetched_langs, "should have fetched languages");
            deepEqual(dbm.db_list, ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']);
        });
    });
    

Testing API

odoo.testing.section(name, [options, ]body)

A test section, serves as shared namespace for related tests (for constants or values to only set up once). The body function should contain the tests themselves.

Note that the order in which tests are run is essentially undefined, do not rely on it.

Arguments
odoo.testing.case(name, [options, ]callback)

Registers a test case callback in the test runner, the callback will only be run once the runner is started (or maybe not at all, if the test is filtered out).

Arguments
  • name (String) --
  • options (TestOptions) --
  • callback (Function<instance, $, Function<String, Function, void>>) --
class TestOptions()

the various options which can be passed to section() or case(). Except for setup and teardown, an option on case() will overwrite the corresponding option on section() so e.g. rpc can be set for a section() and then differently set for some case() of that section()

TestOptions.asserts

An integer, the number of assertions which should run during a normal execution of the test. Mandatory for asynchronous tests.

TestOptions.setup

Test case setup, run right before each test case. A section's setup() is run before the case's own, if both are specified.

TestOptions.teardown

Test case teardown, a case's teardown() is run before the corresponding section if both are present.

TestOptions.fail_on_rejection

If the test is asynchronous and its resulting promise is rejected, fail the test. Defaults to true, set to false to not fail the test in case of rejection:

// test/demo.js
test('unfail rejection', {
    asserts: 1,
    fail_on_rejection: false
}, function () {
    var d = $.Deferred();
    setTimeout(function () {
        ok(true);
        d.reject();
    }, 100);
    return d;
});
TestOptions.rpc

RPC method to use during tests, one of "mock" or "rpc". Any other value will disable RPC for the test (if they were enabled by the suite for instance).

TestOptions.templates

Whether the current module (and its dependencies)'s templates should be loaded into QWeb before starting the test. A boolean, false by default.

The test runner can also use two global configuration values set directly on the window object:

  • oe_all_dependencies is an Array of all modules with a web component, ordered by dependency (for a module A with dependencies A', any module of A' must come before A in the array)

Running through Python

The web client includes the means to run these tests on the command-line (or in a CI system), but while actually running it is pretty simple the setup of the pre-requisite parts has some complexities.

  1. Install PhantomJS. It is a headless browser which allows automating running and testing web pages. QUnitSuite uses it to actually run the qunit test suite.

    The PhantomJS website provides pre-built binaries for some platforms, and your OS's package management probably provides it as well.

    If you're building PhantomJS from source, I recommend preparing for some knitting time as it's not exactly fast (it needs to compile both Qt and Webkit, both being pretty big projects).

  2. Install a new database with all relevant modules (all modules with a web component at least), then restart the server

  3. Launch oe run-tests -d $DATABASE -mweb with the correct addons-path specified (and replacing $DATABASE by the source database you created above)

If everything went correctly, you should now see a list of tests with (hopefully) ok next to their names, closing with a report of the number of tests run and the time it took:

test_empty_find (odoo.addons.web.tests.test_dataset.TestDataSetController) ... ok
