Depends On
class AbstractAction(parent)
Extends
Parameters
    parent (Widget or null) – Binds the current instance to the given Widget instance. When that widget is destroyed by calling destroy(), the current instance will be destroyed too. Can be null.
method on_attach_callback()

Called each time the action is attached into the DOM.

method on_detach_callback()

Called each time the action is detached from the DOM.

method willRestore() → Deferred|undefined

Called by the action manager when action is restored (typically, when the user clicks on the action in the breadcrumb)

Return Type
Deferred or undefined
method canBeRemoved() → Deferred

In some situations, we need confirmation from the controller that the current state can be destroyed without prejudice to the user. For example, if the user has edited a form, maybe we should ask him if we can discard all his changes when we switch to another action. In that case, the action manager will call this method. If the returned deferred is succesfully resolved, then we can destroy the current action, otherwise, we need to stop.

Returns
resolved if the action can be removed, rejected otherwise
Return Type
method getContext()

This function is called when the current context (~state) of the action should be known. For instance, if the action is a view controller, this may be useful to reinstantiate the view in the same state.

method giveFocus()

Gives the focus to the action

method renderButtons($node)

Renders the buttons to append, in most cases, to the control panel (in the bottom left corner). When the action is rendered in a dialog, those buttons might be moved to the dialog’s footer.

module web.ListRenderer
class ListRenderer(parent, state, params)
Parameters
method giveFocus()

Order to focus to be given to the content of the current view

method canBeSaved([recordID]) → string[]

If the given recordID is the list main one (or that no recordID is given), then the whole view can be saved if one of the two following conditions is true: - There is no line in edition (all lines are saved so they are all valid) - The line in edition can be saved

Parameters
    recordID (string)
Return Type
Array<string>
method confirmChange(state, id)

We need to override the confirmChange method from BasicRenderer to reevaluate the row decorations. Since they depends on the current value of the row, they might have changed between each edit.

Parameters

    state

    id

method confirmUpdate(state, id, fields, ev) → Deferred<AbstractField[]>

This is a specialized version of confirmChange, meant to be called when the change may have affected more than one line (so, for example, an onchange which add/remove a few lines in a x2many. This does not occur in a normal list view)

The update is more difficult when other rows could have been changed. We need to potentially remove some lines, add some other lines, update some other lines and maybe reorder a few of them. This problem would neatly be solved by using a virtual dom, but we do not have this luxury yet. So, in the meantime, what we do is basically remove every current row except the ‘main’ one (the row which caused the update), then rerender every new row and add them before/after the main one.

Parameters

    state (Object)

    id (string)

    fields (Array<string>)

    ev (OdooEvent)

Returns
resolved with the list of widgets that have been reset
Return Type
method editRecord(recordID)

Edit a given record in the list

Parameters
    recordID (string)
method getEditableRecordID() → string|null

Returns the recordID associated to the line which is currently in edition or null if there is no line in edition.

Return Type
string or null
method removeLine(state, recordID)

Removes the line associated to the given recordID (the index of the row is found thanks to the old state), then updates the state.

Parameters

    state (Object)

    recordID (string)

method setRowMode(recordID, mode) → Deferred

Updates the already rendered row associated to the given recordID so that it fits the given mode.

Parameters

    recordID (string)

    mode (string)

Return Type
method unselectRow() → Deferred

This method is called whenever we click/move outside of a row that was in edit mode. This is the moment we save all accumulated changes on that row, if needed (@see BasicController.saveRecord).

Note that we have to disable the focusable elements (inputs, …) to prevent subsequent editions. These edits would be lost, because the list view only saves records when unselecting a row.

Returns
The deferred resolves if the row was unselected (and possibly removed). If may be rejected, when the row is dirty and the user refuses to discard its changes.
Return Type
class ListRendererParams()
attribute addCreateLine boolean
attribute addTrashIcon boolean
module web.BrowserDetection

module web_editor.base
namespace
namespace cacheCssSelectors

Retrieves all the CSS rules which match the given parser (Regex).

attribute fontIcons Array

List of font icons to load by editor. The icons are displayed in the media editor and identified like font and image (can be colored, spinned, resized with fa classes). To add font, push a new object {base, parser}

  • base: class who appear on all fonts
  • parser: regular expression used to select all font in css stylesheets
namespace computeFonts

Searches the fonts described by the @see fontIcons variable.

function ready() → Deferred

If a widget needs to be instantiated on page loading, it needs to wait for appropriate resources to be loaded. This function returns a Deferred which is resolved when the dom is ready, the session is bound (translations loaded) and the XML is loaded. This should however not be necessary anymore as widgets should not be parentless and should then be instantiated (directly or not) by the page main component (webclient, website root, editor bar, …). The DOM will be ready then, the main component is in charge of waiting for the session and the XML can be lazy loaded thanks to the @see Widget.xmlDependencies key.

Extends
Parameters
    parent
module web.mixins
namespace
mixin ParentedMixin

Mixin to structure objects’ life-cycles folowing a parent-children relationship. Each object can a have a parent and multiple children. When an object is destroyed, all its children are destroyed too releasing any resource they could have reserved before.

function setParent(parent)

Set the parent of the current object. When calling this method, the parent will also be informed and will return the current object when its getChildren() method is called. If the current object did already have a parent, it is unregistered before, which means the previous parent will not return the current object anymore when its getChildren() method is called.

Parameters
    parent
function getParent()

Return the current parent of the object (or null).

function getChildren()

Return a list of the children of the current object.

function isDestroyed()

Returns true if destroy() was called on the current object.

function alive(promise[, reject]) → $.Deferred

Utility method to only execute asynchronous actions if the current object has not been destroyed.

Parameters

    promise (jQuery.Deferred) – The promise representing the asynchronous action.

    reject=false (bool) – If true, the returned promise will be rejected with no arguments if the current object is destroyed. If false, the returned promise will never be resolved or rejected.

Returns
A promise that will mirror the given promise if everything goes fine but will either be rejected with no arguments or never resolved if the current object is destroyed.
Return Type
jQuery.Deferred
function destroy()

Inform the object it should destroy itself, releasing any resource it could have reserved.

function findAncestor(predicate)

Find the closest ancestor matching predicate

Parameters
    predicate
mixin EventDispatcherMixin

Mixin containing an event system. Events are also registered by specifying the target object (the object which will receive the event when it is raised). Both the event-emitting object and the target object store or reference to each other. This is used to correctly remove all reference to the event handler when any of the object is destroyed (when the destroy() method from ParentedMixin is called). Removing those references is necessary to avoid memory leak and phantom events (events which are raised and sent to a previously destroyed object).

method giveFocus()

Gives the focus to the renderer

method discardChanges([recordID]) → Deferred

Discards the changes made on the record associated to the given ID, or all changes made by the current controller if no recordID is given. For example, when the user opens the ‘home’ screen, the action manager calls this method on the active view to make sure it is ok to open the home screen (and lose all current state).

Note that it returns a deferred, because the view could choose to ask the user if he agrees to discard.

Parameters
    recordID (string) – if not given, we consider all the changes made by the controller
Returns
resolved if properly discarded, rejected otherwise
Return Type
method getContext() → Object

Returns any special keys that may be useful when reloading the view to get the same effect. This is necessary for saving the current view in the favorites. For example, a graph view might want to add a key to save the current graph type.

Object
method getTitle() → string

Returns a title that may be displayed in the breadcrumb area. For example, the name of the record.

note: this will be moved to AbstractAction

Return Type
string
method is_action_enabled(action) → boolean

The use of this method is discouraged. It is still snakecased, because it currently is used in many templates, but we will move to a simpler mechanism as soon as we can.

Parameters
    action (string) – type of action, such as ‘create’, ‘read’, …
Return Type
boolean
method reload([params]) → Deferred

Short helper method to reload the view

Parameters
    params (Object) – This object will simply be given to the update
Return Type
method renderPager($node)

For views that require a pager, this method will be called to allow the controller to instantiate and render a pager. Note that in theory, the controller can actually render whatever he wants in the pager zone. If your view does not want a pager, just let this method empty.

Parameters
    $node (jQuery)
method renderSidebar($node)

Same as renderPager, but for the ‘sidebar’ zone (the zone with the menu dropdown in the control panel next to the buttons)

Parameters
    $node (jQuery)
method update(params[, options]) → Deferred

This is the main entry point for the controller. Changes from the search view arrive in this method, and internal changes can sometimes also call this method. It is basically the way everything notifies the controller that something has changed.

The update method is responsible for fetching necessary data, then updating the renderer and wait for the rendering to complete.

Parameters

    params (Object) – will be given to the model and to the renderer

    options (UpdateOptions)

Return Type
class UpdateOptions()
attribute reload boolean

if true, the model will reload data

module web.Registry
Exports
Depends On
class Registry([mapping])
Extends
Parameters
    mapping (Object) – the initial data in the registry

The registry is really pretty much only a mapping from some keys to some values. The Registry class only add a few simple methods around that to make it nicer and slightly safer.

Note that registries have a fundamental problem: the value that you try to get in a registry might not have been added yet, so of course, you need to make sure that your dependencies are solid. For this reason, it is a good practice to avoid using the registry if you can simply import what you need with the ‘require’ statement.

However, on the flip side, sometimes you cannot just simply import something because we would have a dependency cycle. In that case, registries might help.

method add(key, value) → Registry

Add a key (and a value) to the registry.

Notify the listeners on newly added item in the registry.

Parameters

    key (string)

    value (any)

Returns
can be used to chain add calls.
Return Type
method contains(key) → boolean

Check if the registry contains the value

Parameters
    key (string)
Return Type
boolean
method extend([mapping])

Creates and returns a copy of the current mapping, with the provided mapping argument added in (replacing existing keys if needed)

Parameters
    mapping={} (Object) – a mapping of keys to object-paths
method get(key) → any

Returns the value associated to the given key.

Parameters
    key (string)
Return Type
any
method getAny(keys) → any

Tries a number of keys, and returns the first object matching one of the keys.

Returns
the first result found matching an object
Return Type
any
method onAdd(callback)

module web.ControlPanelMixin
namespace ControlPanelMixin

Mixin allowing widgets to communicate with the ControlPanel. Widgets needing a ControlPanel should use this mixin and call update_control_panel(cp_status) where cp_status contains information for the ControlPanel to update itself.

Note that the API is slightly awkward. Hopefully we will improve this when we get the time to refactor the control panel.

For example, here is what a typical client action would need to do to add support for a control panel with some buttons:

var ControlPanelMixin = require('web.ControlPanelMixin');

var SomeClientAction = Widget.extend(ControlPanelMixin, {
    ...
    start: function () {
        this._renderButtons();
        this._updateControlPanel();
        ...
    },
    do_show: function () {
         ...
         this._updateControlPanel();
    },
    _renderButtons: function () {
        this.$buttons = $(QWeb.render('SomeTemplate.Buttons'));
        this.$buttons.on('click', ...);
    },
    _updateControlPanel: function () {
        this.update_control_panel({
            cp_content: {
               $buttons: this.$buttons,
            },
     });
function update_control_panel([cp_status][, options])

Triggers ‘update’ on the cp_bus to update the ControlPanel according to cp_status

Parameters

    cp_status (Object) – see web.ControlPanel.update() for a description

    options (Object) – see web.ControlPanel.update() for a description

method facetFor() → Object

Return Type

module web.Widget
class Widget(parent)
Extends
Mixes
Parameters
    parent (Widget or null) – Binds the current instance to the given Widget instance. When that widget is destroyed by calling destroy(), the current instance will be destroyed too. Can be null.

Base class for all visual components. Provides a lot of functions helpful for the management of a part of the DOM.

Widget handles:

  • Rendering with QWeb.
  • Life-cycle management and parenting (when a parent is destroyed, all its children are destroyed too).
  • Insertion in DOM.

Guide to create implementations of the Widget class

Here is a sample child class:

var MyWidget = Widget.extend({
    // the name of the QWeb template to use for rendering
    template: "MyQWebTemplate",

    init: function (parent) {
        this._super(parent);
        // stuff that you want to init before the rendering
    },
    willStart: function () {
        // async work that need to be done before the widget is ready
        // this method should return a deferred
    },
    start: function() {
        // stuff you want to make after the rendering, `this.$el` holds a correct value
        this.$(".my_button").click(/* an example of event binding * /);

        // if you have some asynchronous operations, it's a good idea to return
        // a promise in start(). Note that this is quite rare, and if you
        // need to fetch some data, this should probably be done in the
        // willStart method
        var promise = this._rpc(...);
        return promise;
    }
});

Now this class can simply be used with the following syntax:

var myWidget = new MyWidget(this);
myWidget.appendTo($(".some-div"));

With these two lines, the MyWidget instance was initialized, rendered, inserted into the DOM inside the .some-div div and its events were bound.

And of course, when you don’t need that widget anymore, just do:

myWidget.destroy();

That will kill the widget in a clean way and erase its content from the dom.

attribute template null|string

The name of the QWeb template that will be used for rendering. Must be redefined in subclasses or the default render() method can not be used.

attribute xmlDependencies null|string[]

List of paths to xml files that need to be loaded before the widget can be rendered. This will not induce loading anything that has already been loaded.

method willStart() → Deferred

Method called between @see init and @see start. Performs asynchronous calls required by the rendering and the start method.

This method should return a Deferred which is resolved when start can be executed.

Return Type
method start() → Deferred

Method called after rendering. Mostly used to bind actions, perform asynchronous calls, etc…

By convention, this method should return an object that can be passed to $.when() to inform the caller when this widget has been initialized.

Note that, for historic reasons, many widgets still do work in the start method that would be more suited to the willStart method.

Return Type
method destroy()

Destroys the current widget, also destroys all its children before destroying itself.

method appendTo(target)

Renders the current widget and appends it to the given jQuery object.

Parameters
    target (jQuery)
method attachTo(target)

Attach the current widget to a dom element

Parameters
    target (jQuery)
method do_hide()

Hides the widget

method do_show()

Displays the widget

method do_toggle([display])

Displays or hides the widget

Parameters
    display (boolean) – use true to show the widget or false to hide it
method insertAfter(target)

Renders the current widget and inserts it after to the given jQuery object.

Parameters
    target (jQuery)
method insertBefore(target)

Renders the current widget and inserts it before to the given jQuery object.

Parameters
    target (jQuery)
method prependTo(target)

Renders the current widget and prepends it to the given jQuery object.

Parameters
    target (jQuery)
method renderElement()

Renders the element. The default implementation renders the widget using QWeb, this.template must be defined. The context given to QWeb contains the “widget” key that references this.

method replace(target)

Renders the current widget and replaces the given jQuery object.

Parameters
    targetA jQuery object or a Widget instance.
method setElement(element) → Widget

Re-sets the widget’s root element (el/$el/$el).

Includes:

  • re-delegating events
  • re-binding sub-elements
  • if the widget already had a root element, replacing the pre-existing element in the DOM
Parameters
    element (HTMLElement or jQuery) – new root element for the widget
Returns
this
Return Type
class Widget(parent)
Extends
Mixes
Parameters
    parent (Widget or null) – Binds the current instance to the given Widget instance. When that widget is destroyed by calling destroy(), the current instance will be destroyed too. Can be null.

Base class for all visual components. Provides a lot of functions helpful for the management of a part of the DOM.

Widget handles:

  • Rendering with QWeb.
  • Life-cycle management and parenting (when a parent is destroyed, all its children are destroyed too).
  • Insertion in DOM.

Guide to create implementations of the Widget class

Here is a sample child class:

var MyWidget = Widget.extend({
    // the name of the QWeb template to use for rendering
    template: "MyQWebTemplate",

    init: function (parent) {
        this._super(parent);
        // stuff that you want to init before the rendering
    },
    willStart: function () {
        // async work that need to be done before the widget is ready
        // this method should return a deferred
    },
    start: function() {
        // stuff you want to make after the rendering, `this.$el` holds a correct value
        this.$(".my_button").click(/* an example of event binding * /);

        // if you have some asynchronous operations, it's a good idea to return
        // a promise in start(). Note that this is quite rare, and if you
        // need to fetch some data, this should probably be done in the
        // willStart method
        var promise = this._rpc(...);
        return promise;
    }
});

Now this class can simply be used with the following syntax:

var myWidget = new MyWidget(this);
myWidget.appendTo($(".some-div"));

With these two lines, the MyWidget instance was initialized, rendered, inserted into the DOM inside the .some-div div and its events were bound.

And of course, when you don’t need that widget anymore, just do:

myWidget.destroy();

That will kill the widget in a clean way and erase its content from the dom.

class Class()

Improved John Resig’s inheritance, based on:

Simple JavaScript Inheritance By John Resig http://ejohn.org/ MIT Licensed.

Adds “include()”

Defines The Class object. That object can be used to define and inherit classes using the extend() method.

Example:

var Person = Class.extend({
 init: function(isDancing){
    this.dancing = isDancing;
  },
  dance: function(){
    return this.dancing;
  }
});

The init() method act as a constructor. This class can be instanced this way:

var person = new Person(true);
person.dance();

The Person class can also be extended again:

var Ninja = Person.extend({
  init: function(){
    this._super( false );
  },
  dance: function(){
    // Call the inherited version of dance()
    return this._super();
  },
  swingSword: function(){
    return true;
  }
});

When extending a class, each re-defined method can use this._super() to call the previous implementation of that method.

function commitChanges() → Deferred|undefined

This function should be implemented by widgets that are not able to notify their environment when their value changes (maybe because their are not aware of the changes) or that may have a value in a temporary state (maybe because some action should be performed to validate it before notifying it). This is typically called before trying to save the widget’s value, so it should call _setValue() to notify the environment if the value changed but was not notified.

    params

module web.FormRenderer
class FormRenderer()
method autofocus() → int | undefined

Focuses the field having attribute ‘default_focus’ set, if any, or the first focusable field otherwise. In read mode, delegate which button to give the focus to, to the form_renderer

Returns
the index of the widget activated else undefined
Return Type
int or undefined
method canBeSaved(recordID) → string[]

Extend the method so that labels also receive the ‘o_field_invalid’ class if necessary.

Parameters
    recordID (string)
Return Type
Array<string>
method displayTranslationAlert(alertFields)

Show a warning message if the user modified a translated field. For each field, the notification provides a link to edit the field’s translations.

Parameters

method getLocalState() → Object

returns the active tab pages for each notebook

Returns
a map from notebook name to the active tab index
Return Type
Object
method resetLastActivatedField()

Reset the tracking of the last activated field. The fast entry with keyboard navigation needs to track the last activated field in order to set the focus.

In particular, when there are changes of mode (e.g. edit -> readonly -> edit), we do not want to auto-set the focus on the previously last activated field. To avoid this issue, this method should be called whenever there is a change of mode.

method setLocalState(state)

restore active tab pages for each notebook

Parameters
    state (Object) – the result from a getLocalState call
module web.BasicModel
class BasicModel()
method addDefaultRecord(listID[, options]) → Deferred<string>

Add a default record to a list object. This method actually makes a new record with the _makeDefaultRecord method, then adds it to the list object. The default record is added in the data directly. This is meant to be used by list or kanban controllers (i.e. not for x2manys in form views, as in this case, we store changes as commands).

Parameters
Returns
resolves to the id of the new created record
Return Type
Deferred<string>
class AddDefaultRecordOptions()
attribute position string
if the new record should be added
on top or on bottom of the list
function applyDefaultValues(recordID, values[, options]) → Deferred

Add and process default values for a given record. Those values are parsed and stored in the ‘_changes’ key of the record. For relational fields, sub-dataPoints are created, and missing relational data is fetched. Also generate default values for fields with no given value. Typically, this function is called with the result of a ‘default_get’ RPC, to populate a newly created dataPoint. It may also be called when a one2many subrecord is open in a form view (dialog), to generate the default values for the fields displayed in the o2m form view, but not in the list or kanban (mainly to correctly create sub-dataPoints for relational fields).

Parameters

    recordID (string) – local id for a record

    values (Object) – dict of default values for the given record

    options (ApplyDefaultValuesOptions)

Return Type
class ApplyDefaultValuesOptions()
attribute viewType string
current viewType. If not set, we will
assume main viewType from the record
attribute fieldNames Array
list of field names for which a
default value must be generated (used to complete the values dict)
function applyRawChanges(recordID, viewType) → Deferred<string>

Onchange RPCs may return values for fields that are not in the current view. Those fields might even be unknown when the onchange returns (e.g. in x2manys, we only know the fields that are used in the inner view, but not those used in the potential form view opened in a dialog when a sub- record is clicked). When this happens, we can’t infer their type, so the given value can’t be processed. It is instead stored in the ‘_rawChanges’ key of the record, without any processing. Later on, if this record is displayed in another view (e.g. the user clicked on it in the x2many list, and the record opens in a dialog), those changes that were left behind must be applied. This function applies changes stored in ‘_rawChanges’ for a given viewType.

Parameters

    recordID (string) – local resource id of a record

    viewType (string) – the current viewType

Returns
resolves to the id of the record
Return Type
Deferred<string>
function deleteRecords(recordIds, modelName) → Deferred

Delete a list of records, then, if the records have a parent, reload it.

Parameters

    recordIds (Array<string>) – list of local resources ids. They should all be of type ‘record’, be of the same model and have the same parent.

    modelName (string) – mode name used to unlink the records

Return Type
function discardChanges(id[, options])

Discard all changes in a local resource. Basically, it removes everything that was stored in a _changes key.

Parameters
class DiscardChangesOptions()
attribute rollback boolean
if true, the changes will
be reset to the last _savePoint, otherwise, they are reset to null
function duplicateRecord(recordID) → Deferred<string>

Duplicate a record (by calling the ‘copy’ route)

Parameters
    recordID (string) – id for a local resource
Returns
resolves to the id of duplicate record
Return Type
Deferred<string>
function get(id, options) → Object

The get method first argument is the handle returned by the load method. It is optional (the handle can be undefined). In some case, it makes sense to use the handle as a key, for example the BasicModel holds the data for various records, each with its local ID.

synchronous method, it assumes that the resource has already been loaded.

Parameters

    id (string) – local id for the resource

    options (GetOptions)

Return Type
Object
class GetOptions()
attribute env boolean
if true, will only return res_id
(if record) or res_ids (if list)
attribute raw boolean

if true, will not follow relations

function getName(id) → string

Returns the current display_name for the record.

Parameters
    id (string) – the localID for a valid record element
Return Type
string
function canBeAbandoned(id) → boolean

Returns true if a record can be abandoned.

Case for not abandoning the record:

  1. flagged as ‘no abandon’ (i.e. during a default_get, including any onchange from a default_get)
  2. registered in a list on addition

    2.1. registered as non-new addition 2.2. registered as new additon on update

  3. record is not new

Otherwise, the record can be abandoned.

This is useful when discarding changes on this record, as it means that we must keep the record even if some fields are invalids (e.g. required field is empty).

Parameters
    id (string) – id for a local resource
Return Type
boolean
function isDirty(id) → boolean

Returns true if a record is dirty. A record is considered dirty if it has some unsaved changes, marked by the _isDirty property on the record or one of its subrecords.

Parameters
    id (string) – the local resource id
Return Type
boolean
function isNew(id) → boolean

Check if a localData is new, meaning if it is in the process of being created and no actual record exists in db. Note: if the localData is not of the “record” type, then it is always considered as not new.

Note: A virtual id is a character string composed of an integer and has a dash and other information. E.g: in calendar, the recursive event have virtual id linked to a real id virtual event id “23-20170418020000” is linked to the event id 23

Parameters
    id (string) – id for a local resource
Return Type
boolean

string
function notifyChanges(record_id, changes[, options]) → string[]

This is an extremely important method. All changes in any field go through this method. It will then apply them in the local state, check if onchanges needs to be applied, actually do them if necessary, then resolves with the list of changed fields.

Parameters

The motivation for this is when the user click on ‘Add a line’ in a field one2many with a required field, then clicks somewhere else. The new line need to be discarded, but we don’t want to trigger a real notifyChanges (no need for that, and also, we don’t want to rerender the UI).

Parameters
    elementID (string) – some valid element id. It is necessary that the corresponding element has a parent.
function resequence(modelName, resIDs, parentID[, options]) → Deferred<string>

Resequences records.

Parameters
    recordID (string)
Returns
the list of invalid field names
Return Type
Array<string>
method commitChanges(recordID) → Deferred

Return Type
method confirmChange(state, id, fields, ev) → Deferred<AbstractField[]>

Updates the internal state of the renderer to the new state. By default, this also implements the recomputation of the modifiers and their application to the DOM and the reset of the field widgets if needed.

In case the given record is not found anymore, a whole re-rendering is completed (possible if a change in a record caused an onchange which erased the current record).

We could always rerender the view from scratch, but then it would not be as efficient, and we might lose some local state, such as the input focus cursor, or the scrolling position.

Parameters
method getController(parent) → Deferred

Main method of the view class. Create a controller, and make sure that data and libraries are loaded.

There is a unusual thing going in this method with parents: we create renderer/model with parent as parent, then we have to reassign them at the end to make sure that we have the proper relationships. This is necessary to solve the problem that the controller need the model and the renderer to be instantiated, but the model need a parent to be able to load itself, and the renderer needs the data in its constructor.

Returns
The deferred resolves to a controller
Return Type

module web.GraphRenderer
class (parent, state, params)
Parameters
function on_attach_callback()

The graph view uses the nv(d3) lib to render the graph. This lib requires that the rendering is done directly into the DOM (so that it can correctly compute positions). However, the views are always rendered in fragments, and appended to the DOM once ready (to prevent them from flickering). We here use the on_attach_callback hook, called when the widget is attached to the DOM, to perform the rendering. This ensures that the rendering is always done in the DOM.

function asyncWhen() → Deferred

The jquery implementation for $.when has a (most of the time) useful property: it is synchronous, if the deferred is resolved immediately.

This means that when we execute $.when(def), then all registered callbacks will be executed before the next line is executed. This is useful quite often, but in some rare cases, we might want to force an async behavior. This is the purpose of this function, which simply adds a setTimeout before resolving the deferred.

Return Type
function delay([wait]) → Deferred

Returns a deferred resolved after ‘wait’ milliseconds

Parameters
    wait=0 (int) – the delay in ms
Return Type
class DropMisordered([failMisordered])
Extends
Parameters
    failMisordered=false (boolean) – whether mis-ordered responses should be failed or just ignored

The DropMisordered abstraction is useful for situations where you have a sequence of operations that you want to do, but if one of them completes after a subsequent operation, then its result is obsolete and should be ignored.

Note that is is kind of similar to the DropPrevious abstraction, but subtly different. The DropMisordered operations will all resolves if they complete in the correct order.

method add(deferred) → Deferred

Adds a deferred (usually an async request) to the sequencer

Parameters
Return Type
class DropPrevious()
Extends

The DropPrevious abstraction is useful when you have a sequence of operations that you want to execute, but you only care of the result of the last operation.

For example, let us say that we have a _fetch method on a widget which fetches data. We want to rerender the widget after. We could do this:

this._fetch().then(function (result) {
    self.state = result;
    self.render();
});

Now, we have at least two problems:

  • if this code is called twice and the second _fetch completes before the first, the end state will be the result of the first _fetch, which is not what we expect
  • in any cases, the user interface will rerender twice, which is bad.

Now, if we have a DropPrevious:

this.dropPrevious = new DropPrevious();

Then we can wrap the _fetch in a DropPrevious and have the expected result:

this.dropPrevious
    .add(this._fetch())
    .then(function (result) {
        self.state = result;
        self.render();
    });
method add(deferred) → Promise

Registers a new deferred and rejects the previous one

Parameters
    deferred (Deferred) – the new deferred
Return Type
Promise
class Mutex()
Extends

A (Odoo) mutex is a primitive for serializing computations. This is useful to avoid a situation where two computations modify some shared state and cause some corrupted state.

Imagine that we have a function to fetch some data _load(), which returns a deferred which resolves to something useful. Now, we have some code looking like this:

return this._load().then(function (result) {
    this.state = result;
});

If this code is run twice, but the second execution ends before the first, then the final state will be the result of the first call to _load. However, if we have a mutex:

this.mutex = new Mutex();

and if we wrap the calls to _load in a mutex:

return this.mutex.exec(function() {
    return this._load().then(function (result) {
        this.state = result;
    });
});

Then, it is guaranteed that the final state will be the result of the second execution.

A Mutex has to be a class, and not a function, because we have to keep track of some internal state.

method exec(action) → Deferred

Add a computation to the queue, it will be executed as soon as the previous computations are completed.

Parameters
    action (function) – a function which may return a deferred
Return Type
class MutexedDropPrevious()
Extends

A MutexedDropPrevious is a primitive for serializing computations while skipping the ones that where executed between a current one and before the execution of a new one. This is useful to avoid useless RPCs.

You can read the Mutex description to understand its role ; for the DropPrevious part of this abstraction, imagine the following situation: you have a code that call the server with a fixed argument and a list of operations that only grows after each call and you only care about the RPC result (the server code doesn’t do anything). If this code is called three times (A B C) and C is executed before B has started, it’s useless to make an extra RPC (B) if you know that it won’t have an impact and you won’t use its result.

Note that the promise returned by the exec call won’t be resolved if exec is called before the first exec call resolution ; only the promise returned by the last exec call will be resolved (the other are rejected);

A MutexedDropPrevious has to be a class, and not a function, because we have to keep track of some internal state. The exec function takes as argument an action (and not a deferred as DropPrevious for example) because it’s the MutexedDropPrevious role to trigger the RPC call that returns a deferred when it’s time.

function rejectAfter([target_def][, reference_def]) → Deferred
