In the Odoo Python code encountered so far, we can see that decorators, such as @api.multi
, are frequently used in model methods. These are important for the ORM and allow it to give those methods specific uses.
Let's review the ORM decorators we have available and when each should be used.
Most of the time, we want a custom method to perform some actions on a recordset. For this, we should use @api.multi
, and in that case, the self argument will be the recordset to work with. The method's logic will usually include a for
loop iterating on it. This is surely the most frequently used decorator.
