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.

Defining the user interface with XML files


Each component of the user interface is stored in a database record, just like regular data records are. Modules provide these UI elements as data stored in XML files, which are loaded into the database when the module is installed.

This means that a new XML data file for our UI needs to be added to the todo_stage module. We can start by editing the __manifest__.py file to add the views/todo_view.xml data file:

{
  'name': 'Add Stages and Tags to To-Dos',
  'description': 'Organize To-Do Tasks using Stages and Tags',
  'author': 'Daniel Reis',
  'depends': ['todo_app', 'mail'],
  'data': [
    'security/ir.model.access.csv',
    'views/todo_menu.xml',
    'views/todo_view.xml',
    ]
  'demo': [
    'data/todo.task.csv',
    'data/todo_task.xml',
  ],
}
