Model

class trytond.model.Model

This is the base class that every kind of model inherits. It defines common attributes of all models.

Class attributes are:

Model._name

It contains the a unique name to reference the model throughout the platform.

Model._inherits

It contains a dictionary with one or more Model._name as keys. For each key a Many2One field is defined as value. The trytond.model.fields.Many2One fields must be defined in the the current model fields. A referenced model with _inherits is a generalization of the current model which is specialized. In the specialized model it is possible to interact with all attributes and methods of the general model.

Model._description

It contains a description of the model.

Model._rpc

It contains a dictionary with method name as key and a boolean as value. If a method name is in the dictionary then it is allowed to call it remotely. If the value is True then the transaction will be committed.

Model._error_messages

It contains a dictionary mapping keywords to an error message. By way of example:

_error_messages = {
    'recursive_categories': 'You can not create recursive categories!',
    'wrong_name': 'You can not use " / " in name field!'
}
Model._rec_name

It contains the name of the field used as name of records. The default value is ‘name’.

Model.id

The definition of the field id of records.

Instance methods:

Model.init(module_name)

Registers the model in ir.model and ir.model.field.

Model.raise_user_error(error[, error_args[, error_description[, error_description_args[, raise_exception]]]])

Raises an exception that will be displayed as an error message in the client. error is the key of the error message in _error_messages and error_args is the arguments for the “%”-based substitution of the error message. There is the same parameter for an additional description. The boolean raise_exception can be set to False to retrieve the error message strings.

Model.raise_user_warning(warning_name, warning[, warning_args[, warning_description[, warning_description_args]]])

Raises an exception that will be displayed as a warning message on the client, if the user has not yet bypassed it. warning_name is used to uniquely identify the warning. Others parameters are like in Model.raise_user_error().

Warning

It requires that the cursor will be commited as it stores state of the warning states by users.

Model.default_get(fields_names[, with_rec_name])

Return a dictionary with the default values for each field in fields_names. Default values are defined by the returned value of each instance method with the pattern default_`field_name`(). with_rec_name allow to add rec_name value for each many2one field.

Model.fields_get([fields_names])

Return the definition of each field on the model.

ModelView

class trytond.model.ModelView

It adds requirements to display a view of the model in the client.

Instance methods:

ModelView.fields_view_get([view_id[, view_type[, toolbar[, hexmd5]]]])

Return a view definition used by the client. The definition is:

{
    'model': model name,
    'arch': XML description,
    'fields': {
        field name: {
            ...
        },
    },
    'toolbar': {
        'print': [
            ...
        ],
        'action': [
            ...
        ],
        'relate': [
            ...
        ],
    },
    ''md5': {
    },
}
ModelView.view_header_get(value[, view_type])

Return the window title used by the client for the specific view type.

ModelStorage

class trytond.model.ModelStorage

It adds storage capability.

Class attributes are:

ModelStorage.create_uid

The definition of the trytond.model.fields.Many2One field create_uid of records. It contains the id of the user who creates the record.

ModelStorage.create_date

The definition of the trytond.model.fields.DateTime field create_date of records. It contains the datetime of the creation of the record.

ModelStorage.write_uid

The definition of the trytond.model.fields.Many2One field write_uid of the records. It contains the id of the last user who writes on the record.

ModelStorage.write_date

The definition of the trytond.model.fields.DateTime field write_date of the records. It contains the datetime of the last write on the record.

ModelStorage.rec_name

The definition of the trytond.model.fields.Function field rec_name. It is used in the client to display the records with a single string.

ModelStorage._constraints

The list of constraints that each record must respect. The definition is:

[ (‘function name’, ‘error keyword’), ... ]

where function name is the name of an instance method of the class which must return a boolean (False when the constraint is violated) and error keyword is a key of Model._error_messages.

Instance methods:

ModelStorage.default_create_uid()

Return the default value for create_uid.

ModelStorage.default_create_date()

Return the default value for create_date.

ModelStorage.create(values)

Create a record. values is a dictionary with fields names as key and created values as value.

ModelStorage.trigger_create(id)

Trigger create actions. It will call actions defined in ir.trigger if on_create is set and condition is true.

ModelStorage.read(ids[, fields_names])

Return values for the ids. If fields_names is set, there will be only values for these fields otherwise it will be for all fields. If ids is a list of ids, the returned value will be a list of dictionaries. If ids is an integer, the returned value will be a dictionary.

ModelStorage.write(ids, values)

Write values on records. ids can be a list of ids or an id. values is a dictionary with fields names as key and writen values as value.

ModelStorage.trigger_write_get_eligibles(ids)

Return eligible record ids for write actions by triggers. This dictionary is to pass to trigger_write().

ModelStorage.trigger_write(eligibles)

Trigger write actions. It will call actions defined in ir.trigger if on_write is set and condition was false before write() and true after.

ModelStorage.delete(ids)

Delete records. ids can be a list of ids or an id.

ModelStorage.trigger_delete(ids)

Trigger delete actions. It will call actions defined in ir.trigger if on_delete is set and condition is true.

Duplicate the records. ids can be a list of ids or an id. default is a dictionary of default value for the created records.

ModelStorage.search(domain[, offset[, limit[, order[, count]]]])

Return a list of ids that match the domain.

ModelStorage.search_count(domain)

Return the number of records that match the domain.

ModelStorage.search_read(domain[, offset[, limit[, order[, fields_names]]]])

Call search() and read() at once. Useful for the client to reduce the number of calls.

[ (‘field name’, ‘ASC’), (‘other field name’, ‘DESC’), ... ]

where the first element of the tuple is a field name of the model and the second is the sort ordering as ASC for ascending or DESC for descending.

ModelSQL._order_name

The name of the field (or an SQL statement) on which the records must be sorted when sorting on this model from an other model. If not set, ModelStorage._rec_name will be used.

ModelSQL._history

If true, all changes on records will be stored in a history table.

ModelSQL._sql_constraints

A list of SQL constraints that are added on the table:

[ (‘constraint name’, ‘SQL constraint’, ‘error message key’), ... ]

ModelSQL._sql_error_messages

Like Model._error_messages but for _sql_constraints

Instance methods:

ModelSQL.default_sequence()

Return default value for sequence field if the model has one.

ModelSQL.table_query()
