Exposing related fields stored in other models

When reading data from the server, Odoo clients can only get values for the fields that are available in the model and being queried. Client-side code, unlike server-side code, can't use dot notation to access data in the related tables.

However, these fields can be made available there by adding them as related fields. We will do this to make the publisher's city available in the Library Books model.

Getting ready

We will reuse the my_library add-on module from Chapter 4, Creating Odoo Add-On Modules.
