odoo-8 RPC using Odoo v8 API (Call Python function from JavaScript)

30% OFF - 9th Anniversary discount on Entity Framework Extensions until December 15 with code: ZZZANNIVERSARY9

Remarks

If you are considering to add new methods in Python to use them in RPC from JavaScript, then consider the following options of method decorators: if you've to deal with ids/recordsets then for python method definition choose decorator:

  • @api.multi - to get recordset in your method
  • @api.one - to get browse_records one by one in your method in above examples @api.multi is used, but @api.one also may be used to deal with ids, depending on requirements (However, it's strongly recommended to use @api.multi instead of @api.one for performance reasons).

Or if it's simple function that does not have to deal with records/ids then for python method choose decorator:

  • @api.model - Allows to be polite with old style API.
  • @api.multi - Again, you can use it here as well, just pass [ ] (empty array) as first argument in javascript...
