Colorize field in tree views

This module aims to add support for dynamically coloring fields in tree view according to data in the record.

It provides attributes on fields with the same syntax as the ‘colors’ attribute in tree tags.

Further, it provides a color_field attribute on tree tags to use a field’s value as color.

Features

• Add attribute bg_color on fields to color background of a cell in tree view

• Add attribute fg_color on fields to change text color of a cell in tree view

• Add attribute color_field on the tree element to use as color

Usage

• In the tree view declaration, put bg_color=”red:customer==True;” attribute in the field tag:

  ...
  <field name="arch" type="xml">
      <tree string="View name">
          ...
          <field name="name" bg_color="red:customer==True;"/>
          ...
      </tree>
  </field>
  ...
  
  With this example, column which renders 'name' field will have its background colored in red.

• In the tree view declaration, put fg_color=”white:customer==True;” attribute in the field tag:

  ...
  <field name="arch" type="xml">
      <tree string="View name">
          ...
          <field name="name" fg_color="white:customer==True;"/>
          ...
      </tree>
  </field>
  ...
  
  With this example, column which renders 'name' field will have its text colored in white.

• In the tree view declaration, use color_field=”color” attribute in the tree tag:

  ...
  <field name="arch" type="xml">
      <tree string="View name" color_field="color">
          ...
          <field name="color" invisible="1" />
          ...
      </tree>
  </field>
  ...
  
  With this example, the content of the field named `color` will be used to
  populate the `color` CSS value. Use a function field to return whichever
  color you want depending on the other record values. Note that this
  overrides the `colors` attribute, and that you need the tree to load your
  field in the first place by adding it as invisible field.
