Package: odoo11-addon-base-rest
This addon provides the basis to develop high level REST APIs for Odoo.As Odoo becomes one of the central pieces of enterprise IT systems, it often
becomes necessary to set up specialized service interfaces, so existing
systems can interact with Odoo.While the XML-RPC interface of Odoo comes handy in such situations, it
requires a deep understanding of Odoo’s internal data model. When used
extensively, it creates a strong coupling between Odoo internals and client
systems, therefore increasing maintenance costs.Table of contentsConfigurationUsageKnown issues / RoadmapChangelog12.0.2.0.111.0.2.0.011.0.1.0.111.0.1.0.0Bug TrackerCreditsAuthorsContributorsMaintainersConfigurationIf an error occurs when calling a method of a service (ie missing parameter,
..) the system returns only a general description of the problem without
details. This is done on purpose to ensure maximum opacity on implementation
details and therefore lower security issue.This restriction can be problematic when the services are accessed by an
external system in development. To know the details of an error it is indeed
necessary to have access to the log of the server. It is not always possible
to provide this kind of access. That’s why you can configure the server to run
these services in development mode.To run the REST API in development mode you must add a new section
‘[base_rest]’ with the option ‘dev_mode=True’ in the server config
file.[base_rest]dev_mode=TrueWhen the REST API runs in development mode, the original description and a
stack trace is returned in case of error.Be careful to not use this mode
in production.UsageTo add your own REST service you must provides at least 2 classes.A Component providing the business logic of your service,A Controller to register your service.The business logic of your service must be implemented into a component
(odoo.addons.component.core.Component) that inherit from
‘base.rest.service’fromodoo.addons.component.coreimportComponentclassPingService(Component):_inherit='base.rest.service'_name='ping.service'_usage='ping'_collection='my_module.services'# The following method are 'public' and can be called from the controller.defget(self,_id,message):return{'response':'Get called with message '+message}defsearch(self,message):return{'response':'Search called search with message '+message}defupdate(self,_id,message):return{'response':'PUT called with message '+message}# pylint:disable=method-required-superdefcreate(self,**params):return{'response':'POST called with message '+params['message']}defdelete(self,_id):return{'response':'DELETE called with id%s'%_id}# Validatordef_validator_search(self):return{'message':{'type':'string'}}# Validatordef_validator_get(self):# no parameters by defaultreturn{}def_validator_update(self):return{'message':{'type':'string'}}def_validator_create(self):return{'message':{'type':'string'}}Once your have implemented your services (ping, …), you must tell to Odoo
how to access to these services. This process is done by implementing a
controller that inherits fromodoo.addons.base_rest.controllers.main.RestControllerfromodoo.addons.base_rest.controllersimportmainclassMyRestController(main.RestController):_root_path='/my_services_api/'_collection_name=my_module.servicesIn your controller, _’root_path’ is used to specify the root of the path to
access to your services and ‘_collection_name’ is the name of the collection
providing the business logic for the requested service/By inheriting fromRestControllerthe following routes will be registered
to access to your services@route([ROOT_PATH+'<string:_service_name>',ROOT_PATH+'<string:_service_name>/search',ROOT_PATH+'<string:_service_name>/<int:_id>',ROOT_PATH+'<string:_service_name>/<int:_id>/get'],methods=['GET'],auth="user",csrf=False)defget(self,_service_name,_id=None,**params):method_name='get'if_idelse'search'returnself._process_method(_service_name,method_name,_id,params)@route([ROOT_PATH+'<string:_service_name>',ROOT_PATH+'<string:_service_name>/<string:method_name>',ROOT_PATH+'<string:_service_name>/<int:_id>',ROOT_PATH+'<string:_service_name>/<int:_id>/<string:method_name>'],methods=['POST'],auth="user",csrf=False)defmodify(self,_service_name,_id=None,method_name=None,**params):ifnotmethod_name:method_name='update'if_idelse'create'ifmethod_name=='get':_logger.error("HTTP POST with method name 'get' is not allowed.
