Overview of this book

With its latest iteration, the powerful Odoo framework released a wide variety of features for rapid application development. This updated Odoo development cookbook will help you explore the new features in Odoo 14 and learn how to use them to develop Odoo applications from scratch. You'll learn about the new website concepts in Odoo 14 and get a glimpse of Odoo's new web-client framework, the Odoo Web Library (OWL). Once you've completed the installation, you'll begin to explore the Odoo framework with real-world examples. You'll then create a new Odoo module from the ground up and progress to advanced framework concepts. You'll also learn how to modify existing applications, including Point of Sale (POS) applications. This book isn't just limited to backend development; you'll discover advanced JavaScript recipes for creating new views and widgets. As you progress, you'll learn about website development and become a quality Odoo developer by studying performance optimization, debugging, and automated testing. Finally, you'll delve into advanced concepts such as multi-website, In-App Purchasing (IAP), Odoo.sh, the IoT Box, and security. By the end of the book, you'll have all the knowledge you need to build impressive Odoo applications and you'll be well versed in development best practices that will come in handy when working with the Odoo framework.

Fetching/searching records through JSON-RPC

In the previous recipe, we saw how you can do authentication through JSON-RPC. In this recipe, we will see how you can fetch the data from the Odoo instance with JSON-RPC.

Getting ready

In this recipe, we will fetch book information with JSON-RPC. Make sure you have installed the my_library module and that the server is running on http://localhost:8069.

How to do it...

Perform the following steps to fetch book data from the library.book model:

  1. Add the jsonrpc_fetch_data.py file. You can place this file anywhere you want because the RPC program will work independently.
  2. Add the following code to the file:
    # place authentication and get_json_payload methods (see first jsonrpc recipe)
    if user_id:
        # search for the book's ids
        search_domain = ['|', ['name', 'ilike', 'odoo'], 
        ['name', 'ilike&apos...
