odoo Q-web

文檔連接於：https://www.odoo.com/documentation/8.0/reference/qweb.html

QWeb is the primary templating engine used by Odoo2. It is an XML templating engine1 and used mostly to generate HTMLfragments and pages.

Template directives are specified as XML attributes prefixed with t-, for instance t-if for conditionals, with elements and other attributes being rendered directly.

To avoid element rendering, a placeholder element <t> is also available, which executes its directive but doesn't generate any output in and of itself:

<t t-if="condition"> <p>Test</p> </t> 

will result in:

<p>Test</p> 

if condition is true, but:

<div t-if="condition"> <p>Test</p> </div> 

will result in:

<div>
    <p>Test</p> </div> 

data output

QWeb has a primary output directive which automatically HTML-escape its content limiting XSS risks when displaying user-provided content: esc.

esc takes an expression, evaluates it and prints the content:

<p><t t-esc="value"/></p> 

rendered with the value value set to 42 yields:

<p>42</p> 

There is one other output directive raw which behaves the same as respectively esc but does not HTML-escape its output. It can be useful to display separately constructed markup (e.g. from functions) or already sanitized user-provided markup.

conditionals

QWeb has a conditional directive if, which evaluates an expression given as attribute value:

<div>
    <t t-if="condition"> <p>ok</p> </t> </div> 

The element is rendered if the condition is true:

<div>
    <p>ok</p> </div> 

but if the condition is false it is removed from the result:

<div>
</div> 

The conditional rendering applies to the bearer of the directive, which does not have to be <t>:

<div>
    <p t-if="condition">ok</p> </div> 

will give the same results as the previous example.

loops

QWeb has an iteration directive foreach which take an expression returning the collection to iterate on, and a second parameter t-as providing the name to use for the "current item" of the iteration:

<t t-foreach="[1, 2, 3]" t-as="i"> <p><t t-esc="i"/></p> </t> 

will be rendered as:

<p>1</p> <p>2</p> <p>3</p> 

Like conditions, foreach applies to the element bearing the directive's attribute, and

<p t-foreach="[1, 2, 3]" t-as="i"> <t t-esc="i"/> </p> 

is equivalent to the previous example.

foreach can iterate on an array (the current item will be the current value), a mapping (the current item will be the current key) or an integer (equivalent to iterating on an array between 0 inclusive and the provided integer exclusive).

In addition to the name passed via t-as, foreach provides a few other variables for various data points:

Warning

$as will be replaced by the name passed to t-as

$as_all

the object being iterated over

$as_value

the current iteration value, identical to  $as for lists and integers, but for mappings it provides the value (where  $asprovides the key)

$as_index

the current iteration index (the first item of the iteration has index 0)

$as_size

the size of the collection if it is available

$as_first

whether the current item is the first of the iteration (equivalent to  $as_index == 0)

$as_last

whether the current item is the last of the iteration (equivalent to  $as_index + 1 == $as_size), requires the iteratee's size be available

$as_parity

either  "even" or  "odd", the parity of the current iteration round

$as_even

a boolean flag indicating that the current iteration round is on an even index

$as_odd

a boolean flag indicating that the current iteration round is on an odd index

These extra variables provided and all new variables created into the foreach are only available in the scope of the``foreach``. If the variable exists outside the context of the foreach, the value is copied at the end of the foreach into the global context.

<t t-set="existing_variable" t-value="False"/> <!-- existing_variable now False --> <p t-foreach="[1, 2, 3]" t-as="i"> <t t-set="existing_variable" t-value="True"/> <t t-set="new_variable" t-value="True"/> <!-- existing_variable and new_variable now True --> </p> <!-- existing_variable always True --> <!-- new_variable undefined --> 

attributes

QWeb can compute attributes on-the-fly and set the result of the computation on the output node. This is done via the t-att(attribute) directive which exists in 3 different forms:

t-att-$name

an attribute called $name is created, the attribute value is evaluated and the result is set as the attribute's value:

<div t-att-a="42"/> 

will be rendered as:

<div a="42"></div> 

t-attf-$name

same as previous, but the parameter is a format string instead of just an expression, often useful to mix literal and non-literal string (e.g. classes):

<t t-foreach="[1, 2, 3]" t-as="item"> <li t-attf-class="row {{ item_parity }}"><t t-esc="item"/></li> </t> 

will be rendered as:

<li class="row even">1</li> <li class="row odd">2</li> <li class="row even">3</li> 

t-att=mapping

if the parameter is a mapping, each (key, value) pair generates a new attribute and its value:

<div t-att="{'a': 1, 'b': 2}"/> 

will be rendered as:

<div a="1" b="2"></div> 

t-att=pair

if the parameter is a pair (tuple or array of 2 element), the first item of the pair is the name of the attribute and the second item is the value:

<div t-att="['a', 'b']"/> 

will be rendered as:

<div a="b"></div> 

setting variables

QWeb allows creating variables from within the template, to memoize a computation (to use it multiple times), give a piece of data a clearer name, ...

This is done via the set directive, which takes the name of the variable to create. The value to set can be provided in two ways:

• a t-value attribute containing an expression, and the result of its evaluation will be set:

  <t t-set="foo" t-value="2 + 1"/> <t t-esc="foo"/> 

  will print 3

• if there is no t-value attribute, the node's body is rendered and set as the variable's value:

  <t t-set="foo"> <li>ok</li> </t> <t t-esc="foo"/> 

  will generate <li>ok</li> (the content is escaped as we used the esc directive)

  Note

  using the result of this operation is a significant use-case for the raw directive.

calling sub-templates

QWeb templates can be used for top-level rendering, but they can also be used from within another template (to avoid duplication or give names to parts of templates) using the t-call directive:

<t t-call="other-template"/> 

This calls the named template with the execution context of the parent, if other_template is defined as:

<p><t t-value="var"/></p> 

the call above will be rendered as <p/> (no content), but:

<t t-set="var" t-value="1"/> <t t-call="other-template"/> 

will be rendered as <p>1</p>.

However this has the problem of being visible from outside the t-call. Alternatively, content set in the body of the calldirective will be evaluated before calling the sub-template, and can alter a local context:

<t t-call="other-template"> <t t-set="var" t-value="1"/> </t> <!-- "var" does not exist here --> 

The body of the call directive can be arbitrarily complex (not just set directives), and its rendered form will be available within the called template as a magical 0 variable:

<div>
    This template was called with content:
    <t t-raw="0"/> </div> 

being called thus:

<t t-call="other-template"> <em>content</em> </t> 

will result in:

<div>
    This template was called with content:
    <em>content</em> </div> 

Python

Exclusive directives

asset bundles

"smart records" fields formatting

The t-field directive can only be used when performing field access (a.b) on a "smart" record (result of the browse method). It is able to automatically format based on field type, and is integrated in the website's rich text edition.

t-field-options can be used to customize fields, the most common option is widget, other options are field- or widget-dependent.

debugging

t-debug

invokes a debugger using PDB's set_trace API. The parameter should be the name of a module, on which a set_tracemethod is called:

<t t-debug="pdb"/> 

is equivalent to importlib.import_module("pdb").set_trace()

Helpers

Request-based

Most Python-side uses of QWeb are in controllers (and during HTTP requests), in which case templates stored in the database (asviews) can be trivially rendered by calling openerp.http.HttpRequest.render():

response = http.request.render('my-template', { 'context_value': 42 }) 

This automatically creates a Response object which can be returned from the controller (or further customized to suit).

View-based

At a deeper level than the previous helper is the render method on ir.ui.view:

render(cr, uid, id[, values][, engine='ir.qweb][, context])

Renders a QWeb view/template by database id or external id. Templates are automatically loaded from ir.ui.view records.

Sets up a number of default values in the rendering context:

request

the current  WebRequest object, if any

debug

whether the current request (if any) is in  debug mode

quote_plus

url-encoding utility function

json

the corresponding standard library module

time

the corresponding standard library module

datetime

the corresponding standard library module

relativedelta

see module

keep_query

the  keep_query helper function

Parameters

• values -- context values to pass to QWeb for rendering
• engine (str) -- name of the Odoo model to use for rendering, can be used to expand or customize QWeb locally (by creating a "new" qweb based on ir.qweb with alterations)

API

It is also possible to use the ir.qweb model directly (and extend it, and inherit from it):

class openerp.addons.base.ir.ir_qweb.QWeb(pool, cr)

Base QWeb rendering engine

• to customize t-field rendering, subclass ir.qweb.field and create new models called ir.qweb.field.widget
• alternatively, override get_converter_for() and return an arbitrary model to use as field converter

Beware that if you need extensions or alterations which could be incompatible with other subsystems, you should create a local object inheriting from ir.qweb and customize that.

add_template(qwebcontext, name, node)

Add a parsed template in the context. Used to preprocess templates.

get_converter_for(field_type)

returns a Model used to render a t-field.

By default, tries to get the model named ir.qweb.field.field_type, falling back on ir.qweb.field.

Parameters

field_type ( str) -- type or widget of field to render

get_template(name, qwebcontext)

Tries to fetch the template name, either gets it from the context's template cache or loads one with the context's loader (if any).

Raises

QWebTemplateNotFound -- if the template can not be found or loaded

get_widget_for(widget)

returns a Model used to render a t-esc

Parameters

widget ( str) -- name of the widget to use, or  None

load_document(document, res_id, qwebcontext)

Loads an XML document and installs any contained template in the engine

 

prefixed_methods(prefix)

Extracts all methods prefixed by prefix, and returns a mapping of (t-name, method) where the t-name is the method name with prefix removed and underscore converted to dashes

Parameters

prefix ( str) --

Returns

dict

render(cr, uid, id_or_xml_id, qwebcontext=None, loader=None, context=None)

Renders the template specified by the provided template name

Parameters

• qwebcontext (dict or QWebContext instance) -- context for rendering the template
• loader -- if qwebcontext is a dict, loader set into the context instantiated for rendering

render_tag_call_assets(element, template_attributes, generated_attributes, qwebcontext)

This special 't-call' tag can be used in order to aggregate/minify javascript and css assets

render_tag_field(element, template_attributes, generated_attributes, qwebcontext)

eg: <span t-record="browse_record(res.partner, 1)" t-field="phone">+1 555 555 8069</span>

class openerp.addons.base.ir.ir_qweb.FieldConverter(pool, cr)

Used to convert a t-field specification into an output HTML field.

to_html() is the entry point of this conversion from QWeb, it:

• converts the record value to html using record_to_html()
• generates the metadata attributes (data-oe-) to set on the root result node
• generates the root result node itself through render_element()

attributes(cr, uid, field_name, record, options, source_element, g_att, t_att, qweb_context,context=None)

Generates the metadata attributes (prefixed by data-oe- for the root node of the field conversion. Attribute values are escaped by the parent.

The default attributes are:

• model, the name of the record's model
• id the id of the record to which the field belongs
• field the name of the converted field
• type the logical field type (widget, may not match the field's type, may not be any Field subclass name)
• translate, a boolean flag (0 or 1) denoting whether the field is translatable
• expression, the original expression

Returns

iterable of (attribute name, attribute value) pairs.

record_to_html(cr, uid, field_name, record, options=None, context=None)

Converts the specified field of the browse_record record to HTML

render_element(cr, uid, source_element, t_att, g_att, qweb_context, content)

Final rendering hook, by default just calls ir.qweb's render_element

to_html(cr, uid, field_name, record, options, source_element, t_att, g_att, qweb_context, context=None)

Converts a t-field to its HTML output. A t-field may be extended by a t-field-options, which is a JSON-serialized mapping of configuration values.

A default configuration key is widget which can override the field's own _type.

user_lang(cr, uid, context)

Fetches the res.lang object corresponding to the language code stored in the user's context. Fallbacks to en_US if no lang is present in the context or the language code is not valid.

Returns

res.lang browse_record

value_to_html(cr, uid, value, field, options=None, context=None)

Converts a single value to its HTML version/output

Javascript

Exclusive directives

defining templates

The t-name directive can only be placed at the top-level of a template file (direct children to the document root):

<templates>
    <t t-name="template-name"> <!-- template code --> </t> </templates> 

It takes no other parameter, but can be used with a <t> element or any other. With a <t> element, the <t> should have a single child.

The template name is an arbitrary string, although when multiple templates are related (e.g. called sub-templates) it is customary to use dot-separated names to indicate hierarchical relationships.

template inheritance

Template inheritance is used to alter existing templates in-place, e.g. to add information to templates created by an other modules.

Template inheritance is performed via the t-extend directive which takes the name of the template to alter as parameter.

The alteration is then performed with any number of t-jquery sub-directives:

<t t-extend="base.template"> <t t-jquery="ul" t-operation="append"> <li>new element</li> </t> </t> 

The t-jquery directives takes a CSS selector. This selector is used on the extended template to select context nodes to which the specified t-operation is applied:

append

the node's body is appended at the end of the context node (after the context node's last child)

prepend

the node's body is prepended to the context node (inserted before the context node's first child)

before

the node's body is inserted right before the context node

after

the node's body is inserted right after the context node

inner

the node's body replaces the context node's children

replace

the node's body is used to replace the context node itself

No operation

if no t-operation is specified, the template body is interpreted as javascript code and executed with the context node as this

Warning

while much more powerful than other operations, this mode is also much harder to debug and maintain, it is recommended to avoid it

debugging

The javascript QWeb implementation provides a few debugging hooks:

t-log

takes an expression parameter, evaluates the expression during rendering and logs its result with console.log:

<t t-set="foo" t-value="42"/> <t t-log="foo"/> 

will print 42 to the console

t-debug

triggers a debugger breakpoint during template rendering:

<t t-if="a_test"> <t t-debug=""> </t> 

will stop execution if debugging is active (exact condition depend on the browser and its development tools)

t-js

the node's body is javascript code executed during template rendering. Takes a context parameter, which is the name under which the rendering context will be available in the t-js's body:

<t t-set="foo" t-value="42"/> <t t-js="ctx"> console.log("Foo is", ctx.foo); </t> 

Helpers

openerp.qweb

An instance of QWeb2.Engine() with all module-defined template files loaded, and references to standard helper objects _(underscore), _t (translation function) and JSON.

openerp.qweb.render can be used to easily render basic module templates

API

class QWeb2.Engine()

The QWeb "renderer", handles most of QWeb's logic (loading, parsing, compiling and rendering templates).

OpenERP Web instantiates one for the user, and sets it to instance.web.qweb. It also loads all the template files of the various modules into that QWeb instance.

A QWeb2.Engine() also serves as a "template namespace".

QWeb2.Engine.render(template[, context])

Renders a previously loaded template to a String, using context (if provided) to find the variables accessed during template rendering (e.g. strings to display).

Arguments

• template (String) -- the name of the template to render
• context (Object) -- the basic namespace to use for template rendering

Returns

String

The engine exposes an other method which may be useful in some cases (e.g. if you need a separate template namespace with, in OpenERP Web, Kanban views get their own QWeb2.Engine() instance so their templates don't collide with more general "module" templates):

QWeb2.Engine.add_template(templates)

Loads a template file (a collection of templates) in the QWeb instance. The templates can be specified as:

An XML string

QWeb will attempt to parse it to an XML document then load it.

A URL

QWeb will attempt to download the URL content, then load the resulting XML string.

A  Document or  Node

QWeb will traverse the first level of the document (the child nodes of the provided root) and load any named template or template override.

 

A QWeb2.Engine() also exposes various attributes for behavior customization:

QWeb2.Engine.prefix

Prefix used to recognize directives during parsing. A string. By default, t.

QWeb2.Engine.debug

Boolean flag putting the engine in "debug mode". Normally, QWeb intercepts any error raised during template execution. In debug mode, it leaves all exceptions go through without intercepting them.

QWeb2.Engine.jQuery

The jQuery instance used during template inheritance processing. Defaults to window.jQuery.

QWeb2.Engine.preprocess_node

A Function. If present, called before compiling each DOM node to template code. In OpenERP Web, this is used to automatically translate text content and some attributes in templates. Defaults to null.

[1] it is similar in that to Genshi, although it does not use (and has no support for) XML namespaces

[2] although it uses a few others, either for historical reasons or because they remain better fits for the use case. Odoo 8.0 still depends on Jinja and Mako
