 Introduction to ORM in Odoo

•What is Odoo?
• An open-source ERP Enterprise Resource Planning)
software
• Modular architecture with a wide range of business
applications

•Key Features:
• Customizable and scalable
• User-friendly interface

• Rebranded to Odoo in 2014

•Evolution:
• Growth from a single application to a full suite of business

 Add-on Module Structure

• What are Add-ons?

• Modules that extend Odoo's functionality

•Module Structure:
•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:

1.Create a new directory for your
module
2.Create __init__.py and __manifest__.py
3.Define models and views
4.Install 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(models.Model):
_name = 'my.model'
partner_id = fields.Many2one('res.partner', 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(models.Model):
_name = 'my.model'
_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 = fields.Char(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 = fields.Float(compute='_compute_total_amount')

@api.depends('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"/>
<field name="state"/>
</kanban>

17
 Introduction to Constraints

•What are Constraints?

•Rules that enforce data integrity

•Types of Constraints:
•SQL constraints, Python constraints

•Example of a SQL Constraint:

_sql_constraints = [
('unique_name', 'UNIQUE(name)', 'Name must be unique!')
]
18
 Automatic Reserve Fields

•What are Automatic Reserve Fields?

•Fields that are automatically managed by Odoo

•Examples:

•Usage:
•Useful for tracking record creation and modification
history
