Building A Website - URLs and routing
- 1. Building A Website - URLs and Routing in Odoo 16
- 2. ● Controllers are used to configure the front end module. Controllers are created by inheriting the controller. ● Routes are defined through methods decorated with route() Let’s check with an example. We can bring all the sale order details to a webpage.
- 3. For that i have created a custom module named tips_and_tricks as follows:
- 4. In the directory controllers there are two python files, in “ __init__.py ” i have imported the main.py and in “ main.py ” i have written a controller as shown below.
- 5. The http.Controller was inherited, Inside the route decorator i have specified the page URL as “ /salesdata ”. Along with URL we can see some other parameters: • type : It is used to specify the request type. It can be either http or json here i have used http. • auth : it defines the access to the URL, possible values are user, public & none. here i’m using public. • website : It shows the controller either linked to the webpage or not, possible values are True or False
- 6. • Inside the function definition i have searched for all sale order records with the sales_data variable using search method. • “ sudo() ” is used to get the super user access and inside the dictionary i have passed the sales data like this. • Now we can render the webpage with the sales data as shown in the image. We are rendering the dictionary values along with the template.
- 7. • I have created a directory “ views “ with an xml file named as “ salesdata.xml “ and specified the absolute path in the module manifest file. • In the sales data.xml i have created the template id as ” tmp_sales_data “ that have already mentioned while rendering. • Template consist of a basic odoo website layout and a div created with class oe_structure and a inner div created with class container. • A heading is added to the webpage as Sale Order Details.
- 8. After that we had created a table with class table-striped with thead and tbody as follows:
- 10. • thead section contains all the table headings • tbody section we are using foreach for looping the column values. Here records have the all sale order details and every time order contains an sale order object. So that we can access all fields from the sale order by using dot.
- 11. Now is the time to test the functionality of the module. For that install the module and go to website enter the URL ( salesdata ) mentioned in the controller as shown below.
- 12. Finally the result is here. We can see the all sale order details in this web page.
- 13. The “ __init__.py ” of the module contains the directory controllers were imported and make the “__manifest__.py” as shown in below:
