Code generators for Odoo

Create a new Odoo addon directory, with a skeleton __openerp__.py and an __init__.py.

The technical name is taken as the command line argument.

Full name, summary, author and website are prompted for on the command line.

Generate an additional skeleton Python file (such as you would import inside you __init__.py) on the current working directory.

Takes the target module name (i.e. without the .py) on command line.

Key data for the copyright section is taken from the __openerp__.py in the present working directory (no need to enter all that stuff again).

An import line suitable for __init__.py is output on STDOUT.

Example usage in VIM is to open up the __init__.py, find the area you usually put your imports, and then do this:

:r !odoogen-py new_module_name

A new import line is generated thus:

from . import new_module_name

Now open your new module, for example in a new tab:

:tabedit new_module_name.py

Create a new XML file with the right tags down to <data>

You can run this from your shell, or from :! in VIM.

It just takes the name of the file, e.g.

$ odoogen-xmlfile my_view.xml

Registering the XML file in your __openerp__.py is left to you at the moment.

Given the options you give it on the command line, this will generate a skeleton block of XML that inherits and overrides a specific GUI view in ir.ui.view.

This is designed to be run in a text editor that supports inserting lines of text above or below the cursor from the output of a command.

In VIM, you might use:

:r !odoogen-viewblock res.partner -I base.res_partner_form -N res.partner.form

Given a list of field names, one per line, on STDIN, puts each field name into a <field name="field_name"/> tag on STDOUT.

So it just saves typing the XML tag around it each time.

In VIM, you can write out a list of field names in the location in the XML file you want them to appear:

field1
field2
field3

Then do a LINE VISUAL select with Shift-V to select the three field names.

Then, with the lines still selected, do:

!odoogen-fieldtags

and your selected text will be replaced with this:

                    <field name="field1"/>
                    <field name="field2"/>
                    <field name="field3"/>
