Eagle Estates - Part 12

To-Do's

• Override the _compute_display_name to display properties using name and construction_date
• Override the create to call the _onchange_construction_date to set the age. This can be skipped if the age field is set through a compute method instead

Notes

• Data can be loaded into Odoo using XML or CSV files. This is usually done by defining data files in the data folder and loading them in the __manifest__.py file
• Data file naming should follow the convention of <MODEL_NAME>_data.xml or <MODEL.NAME>.csv
  • Ex: eagle_tag_data.xml or eagle.tag.csv

_compute_display_name:

@api.depends('name', 'construction_date')
def _compute_display_name(self):
    for record in self:
        name = record.name or ''
        if record.construction_date:
            name = f"{name} | {record.construction_date}"
        record.display_name = name

create:

@api.model_create_multi
def create(self, vals_list):
    res = super().create(vals_list)
    for record in res:
        if not record.age:
            record._onchange_construction_date()
    return res

We will have more examples for other ORM methods later on as we explore more features of Odoo.
