Module Prototyper

Beta License: AGPL-3 OCA/server-tools Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runboat

This module allows the administrator to prototype new features and export them as module. Functional people can prepare the job for a developer who is left with the logic to implement in addition to everything the prototype does not export yet.

Installation

Make sure you have Jinja2 version 2.7.3 or higher installed:

$ pip install --upgrade Jinja2==2.7.3

Usage

To use this module, you need to:

  • install the dependencies of your future module

  • customize your instance by adding fields and creating inherited views

  • create your menu items and their window actions

  • prepare your data and demo data by creating filters

  • create your own groups with access rights and record rules

  • add your own access rights and record rules to an existing group

Once you have customized your instance properly, you can go to Settings > Module Prototypes > Prototypes and create a new prototype:

  • fill in the information of your module (enter the name, the description, the logo, etc.)

  • in the Depencencies tab, select all the other modules that yours will be depending on

  • in the Data & Demo tab, select your filters for data and demo data

  • in the Fields tab, select the fields you created or customized

  • in the Interface tab, select your menu items and your views

  • in the Security tab, select your groups, access rights and record rules

  • save and click on export

You will get a zip file containing your module ready to be installed and compliant with the conventions of the OCA. You can then provide the module to a developer who have to implement things like default values or onchange methods.
