odoo-patterns-18

name: odoo-patterns-18 description: > Odoo 18.0-specific patterns for models, modules, OWL components, security, and version-specific behavior. Bridged only when Odoo 18.0 is detected in the project. Combine with patterns-agnostic/ for domain patterns.

Odoo 18.0 Patterns

bundle contains patterns specific to Odoo 18.0. Version-agnostic domain patterns (accounting, stock, sale, etc.) are in patterns-agnostic/.

Files in This Bundle

• model-patterns.md — Model definition, inheritance, fields, ORM methods
• module-generator.md — Module scaffolding, manifest, file layout
• owl-components.md — OWL component patterns
• security-guide.md — Security configuration, access rules, record rules
• version-knowledge.md — v18.0-specific behaviors and constraints

Key Constraints for v18

• Python 3.11+
• OWL 2.x (enhanced)
• NO attrs= (removed in v17)
• Use <list> NOT <tree>
• Use <chatter/> shortcut element
• tracking=True mandatory for audited fields
• Type hints strongly recommended

Before Writing Code for v18

1. Read relevant file in this bundle (model-patterns.md, etc.)
2. Cross-reference patterns-agnostic/ for domain-specific concerns
3. For migration work, see migration-{prev}-18/ and migration-18-{next}/
