Usage

To extend this template you need to inherit country_dropdown template and add your personal code.

The template have three input text:

1. no_country_field: Field without code country.

2. country_code_field: Field with only country code (read only)

3. complete_field: Field with the previous two joined (hidden)

The name of the complete field is customizable when user insert the snippet into a form element with the website editor.

Development

You can call the reusable Qweb template called website_snippet_country_dropdown.country_dropdown in your views to add a sensible country-combined field, ideal for VATs.

The default country will be the first match among:

1. Extract it from the default_country variable.

2. Extract it from the first 2 letters of the default_value variable.

3. The current user’s country.

4. The current website’s company’s country.

5. The first country in the list.

All variables you can use to modify its behavior:

• complete_field to give it a name. Usually it will match the field name.

• default_value for the complete_field.

• countries as a res.country ORM recordset.

• default_country as a res.country record.

• no_country_placeholder.

You can view an example in website_sale_checkout_country_vat in OCA/e-commerce.

Known issues / Roadmap

• Add tests.

• Flag images should be lazy-loaded to optimize loading.

• Snippet drag and drop seems to be blocked by Odoo for some unknown reason.. Given the main purpose of this module is to provide a reusable template for other modules to use, did not take the time to fix that use case.
