Overview of the library project
We will use a learning project to better explore the topics explained in this chapter, and see them work in practice. We will create a new Odoo app to manage a book library. We will use this project in all the following chapters, where each chapter will be an iteration, adding features to the app. Here, we will create a first iteration of the library app.
The first feature we will implement will be the book catalog. The catalog allows us to keep records of the books in our library, with their relevant details. We also want to make this catalog available through a public website, where the available books can be seen.
Library books should have the following data:
- Title
- Authors
- Publishing company
- Date published
- Cover image
- International Standard Book Number (ISBN), with check digit validation
- Active flag, indicating the books that should be publicly available on the website
As is usual for the Odoo base apps...
