odoo14-addon-ssi-web-widget-ace-git 14.0.1.1.0

Extends the Ace code widget with a button to fetch file content from GitHub

This module extends the Odoo 14 Ace code editor widget (FieldCode) by adding a “Fetch from GitHub” button directly below the editor area.

Clicking the button opens a dialog where the user can enter:

• A GitHub file URL (web URL or raw URL)

• An optional GitHub Personal Access Token (for private repositories)

The content is fetched via a backend Python proxy controller (to avoid CORS issues) and injected directly into the active Ace editor.

Features

• Built with Odoo legacy JavaScript framework (no OWL)

• Backend proxy controller to avoid browser CORS restrictions

• Supports GitHub web URLs (/blob/) and raw URLs (raw.githubusercontent.com)

• Token-based authentication for private repositories

• Error/success notifications using native Odoo notification system

Usage

1. Open any form with an Ace code widget (e.g., Automated Actions, Server Actions)

2. Enter edit mode

3. Click “Fetch from GitHub” below the editor

4. Enter the GitHub file URL and optionally a Personal Access Token

5. Click “Fetch & Apply”

Security

The backend controller only allows requests to github.com, raw.githubusercontent.com, and api.github.com to prevent SSRF attacks. Authentication requires a logged-in Odoo user (auth="user").
