I am starting to learn odoo and i come from PHP background. so while debugging the PHP framework, i know the controller and methods being called by looking the web address ( http://host/ {controller} / {method} / {parameter} )

I don't know how this work in Odoo as i see ( http://host:8069/web?db={db}#page={page}&limit=80&view_type={view_type}&model={model}&action={action_id} ). also some time ( http://host:8069/web?db={db}#view_type=kanban&model={model}&menu_id={menu_id}&action=176 )

Can someone please guide me how it works, only high level.

Really appreciate.

Thanks, M

Your have asked a very genuine query:

As you said in php we follow this pattern while making the routes and controllers:

http://host/ {controller} / {method} / {parameter} .

Main objective for making such pattern is to make the unique URI for each resource.

Here in odoo there is no as such restrication about placing controller/method in the url route.

odoo give you the freedom/power to make the route and as you know the power always come with responsibility, so its the developer responsibility to ensure that no two route conflict with each other.

At the same time the url should SEO friendly too .

In Our team we usually flow module/model/method .

For example : i have A:

  • module name academy
  • module have a model teachers[_name='academy.teacher']
  • module have a model students[_name='academy.student']
  • module have a model courses[_name='academy.course']
  • For displaying the list of teachers in the grid view we create the url pattern like: /academy/teachers
  • For displaying the list the individual teacher we create the url pattern like: /academy/teacher
  • for creating the teacher: /academy/teacher/create
  • For displaying the list of students in the grid view we create the url pattern like :/academy/students
  • For displaying the list the individual teacher we create the url pattern like :/academy/student
  • For displaying the list of courses in the grid view we create the url pattern like /academy/courses
  • For displaying the list the individual teacher we create the url pattern like: /academy/course

Let's a an live example:

  • For displaying the order /shop/cart

       @http.route(['/shop/cart'], type='http', auth="public", methods=['POST'], website=True)
   def cart(self, product_id, add_qty=1, set_qty=0, **kw):
     pass

  • For updating the order /shop/cart/update:

      @http.route(['/shop/cart/update'], type='http', auth="public", methods=['POST'], website=True)
  def cart_update(self, product_id, add_qty=1, set_qty=0, **kw):
    pass

  • In case if you want to create a json request handler type='json' for shop cart update /shop/cart/update_json

     @http.route(['/shop/cart/update_json'], type='json', auth="public", methods=['POST'], website=True)
 def cart_update_json(self, product_id, line_id=None, add_qty=None, set_qty=None, display=True):
   pass

As you said you are a fresher i would also suggest you few useful link :

  1. FOR ODOO GuideLine.
  2. FOR ODOO WEBSITE MODULE
  3. FOR ODOO Http handler
  4. FOR ODOO BACKED MODULE

Hope this may help you in understating the URL pattern of ODOO.
