Inside main.py, import the http and http.request and create a class to write
the method. Then, use the method decorator ‘@http.route’ to navigate to a
specific page using controller
from odoo import http
from odoo.http import request
class PurchaseDetail(http.Controller):
@http.route('/purchase_detail', type='http', auth="public",
website=True)
def purchase_detail(self, **arg):
purchase_detail = request.env['purchase.order'].sudo().search([])
values = {'record' : purchase_detail}

URLS and routing in odoo 18 - Odoo Slides
- 1. URLS and routing in Odoo 18 Enterprise
- 2. Enterprise Introduction In Odoo 18, URLs and routing are key components of its web framework, used to handle HTTP requests. Understanding them is essential for customizing Odoo’s behavior, creating new pages, and integrating with external systems. Controllers are used to configure front-end modules under Website. Using controllers, we can specify the URL to the link the web pages. For that, we need to setup the controller in our module and create an xml template to load the data in the web page.
- 3. Enterprise Here, as an example just create a module named ‘purchase_detail’ as follows.
- 4. Enterprise Create a Controller in the custom module In the directory ‘controllers’ inside the module, there are two python files (here it’s is main.py) and __init__.py. main.py have the method with which the data is taken from backend module to show in the website.
- 5. Enterprise Inside main.py, import the http and http.request and create a class to write the method. Then, use the method decorator ‘@http.route’ to navigate to a specific page using controller from odoo import http from odoo.http import request class PurchaseDetail(http.Controller): @http.route('/purchase_detail', type='http', auth="public", website=True) def purchase_detail(self, **arg): purchase_detail = request.env['purchase.order'].sudo().search([]) values = {'record' : purchase_detail} return request.render('purchase_detail.all_purchases_data', values)
- 6. Enterprise ● For the decorator, the first parameter ‘/purchase_details’ is the URL. ● The second parameter says the type of the request. It can be http or json. Keep it as http. json requests are used to execute methods on server to obtain result. Type = 'http' is for responding over http request. It will take you to the another template with the values with the dictionary passed and will refresh the page ● Third parameter gives the authentication. The values can be public, user or none. ● The last parameter website=True to make it visible on website ● Inside the method, fetch the data we need using sudo() to get data as a super user. Here the purchase order details are taken and set as a value dictionary(‘values’ here) ● Render the template and pass the value dictionary by calling the template with the syntax module_name. template_name
- 7. Enterprise Create the Template ● Inside the directory ‘views’, create a new xml file to design the template to display the data taken from backend modules. ● Inside <odoo> tag, give a unique name for the template. Keep in mind that the template name must be the same when we render the template from the .py file. ● Design the template by keeping Odoo’s default website’s layout using. <template id="purchase_detail.all_purchases_data" name="Purchases Details"> <t t-call="website.layout">
- 8. Enterprise ● Design the content using the <table>, <thead>, <tbody> tags. Here, inside the div of class ‘container’, we have to set a heading for the data to be shown, we added a table with ‘table table-striped table-dark’ class as <br/> <center> <h2>PURCHASE DETAILS</h2> </center> <table class="table table-striped table-dark"> <thead> <th>Purchase Order</th> <th>Purchase Customer</th> <th>Date</th> <th>Amount</th> </thead>
- 9. Enterprise ● To iterate through multiple records, <t t-foreach> can be used. Here in this example, inside <tbody>, to get the details Purchase order Number, Customer name, Date and Amount of each Purchase order, iterate as <tbody> <t t-foreach="record" t-as="po"> <tr> <td><span t-esc="po.name"/></td> <td><span t-esc="po.partner_id.name"/></td> <td><span t-esc="po.date_order"/></td> <td><span t-esc="po.amount_total"/></td> </tr> </t> </tbody>
- 10. Enterprise Open the URL from the website Go to the website from UI and copy our URL used in the controller, ie ‘/purchase_details’ here. The page will be loaded as below with all the details we specified using the template.
