# Eagle Estates - Part 15

# To-Do's

  • Add a button in the form view of eagle.property.room called Calculate Area.
  • Bind a Python method to this button that returns an action to open a wizard.
  • Create a new folder wizards inside the module and add all Python and XML files related to the wizard here.
  • Create a transient model called eagle.property.room.area.wizard with two float fields length and width measured in feet.
  • Add a third field area that is computed from the product of length and width.
  • Add a fourth field room_id that is a Many2one to eagle.property.room.
  • When the wizard is confirmed, the area should be set to the area field of the room.
  • Define access rights for the new transient model.

# Notes

  • The wizard should be opened in a dialog by setting target="new" in the action returned from the Python method.
  • In the returned action, add in the context {"default_room_id": self.id} to set the room_id field of the wizard as the current room.
  • The Cancel button of the wizard uses the attribute special="cancel" to close the dialog.

# Transient Model:

from odoo import models, fields, api


class EaglePropertyRoomAreaWizard(models.TransientModel):
    _name = 'eagle.property.room.area.wizard'
    _description = 'Property Room Area Wizard'

    length = fields.Float()
    width = fields.Float()
    area = fields.Float(compute="_compute_area")
    room_id = fields.Many2one('eagle.property.room')

    @api.depends('length', 'width')
    def _compute_area(self):
        for record in self:
            record.area = record.length * record.width

    def action_confirm(self):
        self.room_id.area = self.area
        return {'type': 'ir.actions.act_window_close'}

Add a method on eagle.property.room that opens the wizard:

    def action_open_area_wizard(self):
        return {
            "type": "ir.actions.act_window",
            "res_model": "eagle.property.room.area.wizard",
            "view_mode": "form",
            "target": "new",
            "context": {"default_room_id": self.id}
        }

# Views:

<odoo>
    <record id="view_eagle_property_room_area_wizard_form" model="ir.ui.view">
        <field name="name">eagle.property.room.area.wizard.form</field>
        <field name="model">eagle.property.room.area.wizard</field>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <form>
                <sheet>
                    <group>
                        <group>
                            <field name="length"/>
                        </group>
                        <group>
                            <field name="width"/>
                        </group>
                    </group>
                    <group>
                        <field name="area"/>
                    </group>
                </sheet>
              <footer>
                    <button name="action_confirm" string="Confirm" type="object" class="btn-primary"/>
                    <button string="Cancel" special="cancel"/>
              </footer>
            </form>
        </field>
    </record>
</odoo>

Update the Eagle Property Room form view to show a button that opens the wizard:

<header>
    <button name="action_open_area_wizard" string="Compute Area" type="object"/>
</header>

# Security

TIP

Be sure to update the __init__.py files with correct imports, and update the __manifest__.py to include the views for the wizard.
