odooer 1.0.3

A CLI tool for creating Odoo module boilerplate

Odooer

Overview

Odooer is a CLI tool designed to streamline the development of Odoo modules by automating the boilerplate creation process. It facilitates the quick setup of new modules or the extension of existing ones, ensuring that developers can focus more on functionality rather than setup procedures.

Features

• Module Creation: Easily generate a new Odoo module with a standard directory structure, including models, views, and security settings.
• Inheritance Support: Extend existing Odoo modules with custom functionality by inheriting from them directly through the CLI.
• Automatic File Generation: Automatically creates essential files like __init__.py, model.py, __manifest__.py, and ir.model.access.csv, along with basic templates to get you started.

Installation

Odooer can be installed via pip. Ensure you have Python installed on your system before proceeding.

pip install odooer

Usage

Odooer simplifies the creation of Odoo modules with two primary commands: create and inherit.

Creating a New Module

To create a new module, run the following command:

odooer create <module_name>

This command sets up a new module with a basic structure, including model and view directories, and initializes files necessary for Odoo modules.

Inheriting From an Existing Module

To extend an existing module with additional functionality, use:

odooer inherit <module_name_to_inherit> <your_module_name>

This creates a new module that inherits from an existing one, allowing you to extend or override functionality as needed.

Project Structure

Odooer generates the following structure for a new module:

• /models: Contains model.py with a template for model definition.
• /views: Includes module_view.xml for defining UI elements.
• /security: (Optional) Holds ir.model.access.csv for access rights configuration, not created when inheriting.
• __init__.py: Autogenerated to import models.
• __manifest__.py: Contains module metadata, dependencies, and data files.
