[ROADMAP] Module prototyper

[max3903]

Backlog

• Fix icon file extension
• Fix copying existing models and fields by prefixing new models and fields with x_
• Security files (rules, ir.model.access.csv)
• Add an action on the list view to export many modules in the same zip file
• Attach images to the prototype and export them to be used in the 'images' module manifest
• Provide links on the prototype to easily access Models, Fields, Views, Menu Items, Groups, Access Rights, Security Rules, Workflows, Reports
• Add a Report tab to select and export reports
• Add a Workflow tab to select and export workflows, nodes, transitions, actions
• Add a Website tab to select Menu Item and Pages
• Include controllers.py and templates.xml from scaffold

Private suggestion by @blaggacao

Odoo scaffolding already constructs a basic template for a web interface in the controllers.py and the templates.xml in the sci/templates/default folder...

I think maybe it would be good practice to include such templates into the prototype module, even if they only have limited significance (like the listing of objects and fields in the offical templates). It would help to make people aware of the possibility to have some front-end part for a module...

• Allow export of attachments with data

We would like to export files attached to document pages (images for example, see OCA/knowledge#39), so that when we install the exported module, we have the document page content and its attachments.

We working at the moment on a module that it is able to export data in odoo-xml format, so that it is 'easy' to export demo data. At the moment it is highly experimental but before someone start working also on this topic get in touch.

Hey @OSguard

We planned to do it in csv actually as the export in xml is way harder but if you have something to handle the export, we'll more than happy to use it :)
Escuse my inexperience but what are the benefits with an export in xml? Is it because it would be easier to maintain?

[OSguard]

hey @foutoucour

yes it is harder,
actually what we are working on that you can choose in the export wizard in odoo, which data you want to export. Like you have a sale.order and you want to export then including res.partner, product.product, sale.order.line for example. So you have it in one xml file with relation, but you need multiple csv files. The challenge is write the data in right order in the xml file ;) - this is harder than we thought in the first place as if it is dynamically depending on the model-relation and the data you want to export.

[foutoucour]

Got it. Thanks for the explanation.
Let us know when you release something public.

about csv -> xml.

A quick and dirty script https://github.com/akretion/csv2xml4odoo

To get less dirty it miss the connexion to odoo to define the real type of the column to avoid to guess column type with data.

Hi @max3903 , can I already use this (more or less safely)?
I'd like to test-use it as early adopter and functional dumbass with some limited technical insights 😄
