=====
Model
=====
.. class:: Model([id[, \**kwargs]])
This is the base class that every kind of :ref:`model <topics-models>`
inherits. It defines common attributes of all models.
Class attributes are:
.. attribute:: Model.__name__
It contains the a unique name to reference the model throughout the
platform.
.. attribute:: Model._inherits
It contains a dictionary with one or more :attr:`Model._name` as keys. For each
key a :class:`~trytond.model.fields.Many2One` field is defined as value. The
:class:`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.
.. _generalization: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_diagram#Generalization
.. attribute:: Model.__rpc__
It contains a dictionary with method name as key and an instance of
:class:`trytond.rpc.RPC` as value.
.. attribute:: 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!'
}
.. attribute:: Model._rec_name
It contains the name of the field used as name of records. The default
value is 'name'.
.. attribute:: Model.id
The definition of the field ``id`` of records.
Class methods:
.. classmethod:: Model.__setup__()
Setup the class before adding into the :class:`trytond.pool.Pool`.
.. classmethod:: Model.__post_setup__()
Setup the class after added into the :class:`trytond.pool.Pool`.
.. classmethod:: Model.__register__(module_name)
Registers the model in ``ir.model`` and ``ir.model.field``.
.. classmethod:: 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.
.. classmethod:: 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
:meth:`Model.raise_user_error`.
.. warning::
It requires that the cursor will be commited as it stores state of the
warning states by users.
..
.. classmethod:: 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.
.. classmethod:: Model.fields_get([fields_names])
Return the definition of each field on the model.
=========
ModelView
=========
.. class:: ModelView
It adds requirements to display a view of the model in the client.
Class attributes:
.. attribute:: ModelView._buttons
It contains a dictionary with button name as key and the states dictionary
for the button. This states dictionary will be used to generate the views
containing the button.
Static methods:
.. staticmethod:: ModelView.button
Decorate button method to check group access.
.. staticmethod:: ModelView.button_action(action)
Same as :stat:`ModelView.button` but return the action id of the XML `id`
action.
Class methods:
.. classmethod:: ModelView.fields_view_get([view_id[, view_type[, toolbar]]])
Return a view definition used by the client. The definition is::
{
'model': model name,
'arch': XML description,
'fields': {
field name: {
...
},
},
'toolbar': {
'print': [
...
],
'action': [
...
],
'relate': [
...
],
},
}
.. classmethod:: ModelView.view_toolbar_get()
Returns the model specific actions in a dictionary with keys:
- `print`: a list of available reports
- `action`: a list of available actions
- `relate`: a list of available relations
.. classmethod:: ModelView.view_header_get(value[, view_type])
Returns the window title used by the client for the specific view type.

single string.
.. attribute:: ModelStorage._constraints
