Overview of this book

Odoo continues to gain worldwide momentum as the best platform for open source ERP installations. Now, with Odoo 11, you have access to an improved GUI, performance optimization, integrated in-app purchase features, and a fast-growing community to help transform and modernize your business. With this practical guide, you will cover all the new features that Odoo 11 has to offer to build and customize business applications, focusing on the publicly available community edition. We begin with setting up a development environment, and as you make your way through the chapters, you will learn to build feature-rich business applications. With the aim of jump-starting your Odoo proficiency level, from no specific knowledge to application development readiness, you will develop your first Odoo application. We then move on to topics such as models and views, and understand how to use server APIs to add business logic, helping to lay a solid foundation for advanced topics. The book concludes with Odoo interactions and how to use the Odoo API from other programs, all of which will enable you to efficiently integrate applications with other external systems.

We will split it into two files: one dealing with interactions with the server backend, todo_api.py, and another dealing with the application's user interface, todo.py.

Communication layer with Odoo

We will create a class to set up the connection with an Odoo server, and read/write To-Do tasks data. It should expose the basic CRUD methods:

  • read() to retrieve task data
  • write() to create or update tasks
  • unlink() to delete a task

Select a directory to host the application files and create the todo_api.py file. We can start by adding the class constructor, as follows:

from xmlrpc import client
 
class TodoAPI(): 
    def __init__(self, srv, port, db, user...
