Odoo 15 Development Essentials

Chapter 1: Quick Start Using the Developer Mode

Odoo provides a rapid application development framework that is particularly suited to building applications for business. Business applications usually focus on keeping business records and workflows. Odoo makes it easy to build this type of application and provides rich components to create compelling user interfaces (UIs), such as a kanban view, as well as calendar and graph views.

In this chapter, we will jump straight into the action and start coding by exploring the Odoo internals directly from the web UI – even before we have to set up a local development environment. This will give you a hands-on understanding of the components involved in an Odoo app. At the same time, you will learn some essential tools for inspecting existing apps and building quick prototypes.

The topics discussed in this chapter are as follows:

  • Introducing the to-do list project
  • Understanding basic Odoo concepts
  • Using an Odoo SaaS trial database
  • Installing Odoo in your workstation
  • Enabling the developer tools
  • Adding a custom field to a model
  • Creating a new model
  • Creating menu items and actions
  • Configuring access control security
  • Creating views

By the end of this chapter, you will be familiar with the main components for Odoo customization and development.

Key benefits

  • Set up the Odoo development environment and learn how to test and debug your code
  • Use the ORM framework to work with data and implement business logic supporting business rules
  • Design user interfaces, web pages, and business reports using the Odoo framework's web components

Description

Odoo is fast becoming the reference open source platform for business applications thanks to the fact that it provides the infrastructure needed for developers to deliver software solutions for any business process quickly. Odoo's layered module approach makes it particularly effective for combining and extending features. This updated fifth edition is a tutorial-style introduction to essential Odoo development topics. The book starts by covering the development essentials for building business applications and takes you through Odoo installation and configuration, gradually transitioning from having no specific knowledge of Odoo to being ready for application development. You'll then learn how to develop your first Odoo application, while covering topics such as models and views. Later chapters will get you up to speed with using server APIs to add business logic, helping you lay a solid foundation for advanced topics. As you progress, you’ll get equipped to build and customize your applications and explore the new features available in Odoo 12 and beyond, such as in-memory ORM and computed writable fields. Finally, you’ll gain insights into building business logic and using the Odoo API to integrate with various applications. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build business apps from scratch using the latest version of Odoo.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers who want to learn Odoo application development and quickly become productive while creating business applications. Teachers, trainers, and Odoo team managers will also find the book useful for helping their students or trainees to learn Odoo development skills. Basic knowledge of Python programming is required to get started with the book

What you will learn

  • Install Odoo from source and organize the development environment

Odoo itself is one of the most complete ERP systems that are offered in the market with many modules and features available that can cover most of a business's needs. This book perfectly describes many developers' needs that are explained through a variety of examples.The first chapters are easy to understand and introduce us to development in Odoo in a simple and direct way. Some topics that are covered are also useful for standard users such as importing and exporting data, Models - structuring the application data, Odoo applications, etc.I would recommend seeing in future editions more information about the integration of external email servers as well as more studio features and capabilities. Also, Odoo contains additional technical resources that standard users may benefit from such as automated actions.Even if you do not know much about programming, you can definitely read this book, as the target audience is experienced developers as well as new users.

The topics that are covered in this book are precisely the ones all developers want to know. You can either read it thoroughly or you can search for specific topics of interest. I liked that the author exposed his ideas on how to solve specific problems that are commonly presented in Odoo. I hope for later editions to have more illustrations.

This book should be a starting guide for every Odoo implementer out there. It really explains everything from the very beginning - what is the structure - models, fields, views, actions, ... It firstly shows how to do small customizations yourself with technical settings, and then it shows how to set up the development environment.This book is not only for technical people, but I would recommend each analyst/consultant to read at least the first half, to understand how the system works. What I value a lot is that the book points out the main differences between the versions, as things sometimes change from version to version.I definitely recommend it, the source of information is much better than even the official documentation!

The book is well organized and we'll written. It is definitely a must for Odoo developers. I personally don't like the official Odoo documentation finding it incomplete and not updated, this book covers all the points missed by the official docs

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
