17.0: Widget map and new map field

[drkpkg]

Previous PR: #2917

I decided do a refactor for this module and let the previous PR stay in closed and dropped.

This new widget is a combination of the map field and the map widget. It allows you
to display a map in the form and to select a location by dragging a marker on the map.

I did the pre commit and all was good this time.

The python instance of the field is fields.Map.

from odoo import models, fields, api, _

_logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

class MyModel(models.Model):
    _name = 'my.model'

    name = fields.Char(string='Name')
    location = fields.Map(string=_('Location'))

    @api.onchange('location')
    def _onchange_location(self):
        """
        This will be called when the location is changed.
        """
        if self.location:
            _logger.info('Location: %s', self.location)

The xml file should look like this:

<odoo>
    <data>
        <record id="view_my_model_form" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">my.model.form</field>
            <field name="model">my.model</field>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <form string="My Model">
                    <sheet>
                        <group>
                            <field name="name" />
                            <field name="location" widget="map" />
                        </group>
                    </sheet>
                </form>
            </field>
        </record>
    </data>
</odoo>

Note:

Sorry if i duplicate this PR but I think it is the correct way due the refactor.

Hi @drkpkg. Thanks a lot for sharing. It looks very nice !

Some remarks :

• blocking point : OCA module still contains leaflet lib. I think we should mutualize. For exemp. for exemple, create a specific module named "web_leafet_lib" and make both module depending on the "lib" module. What do you think ?

• Question : why use lib version 1.4.0 ? it looks quite old (the latest version is 1.9.4).

• I think that the name of the field is incorrect. (fields.Map) It doesn't contains a map but a GPS coordinate, AFAIU. So it should be something like fields.Coordinate, (or something similar)

I tried to test it locally.

first error

when trying to display a map widget

    float(value.split(",")[0])
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

Second error

(when trying to display a map widget)

UncaughtPromiseError > OwlError

Uncaught Promise > The following error occurred in onWillStart: "The loading of /map_field/static/lib/leaflet/leaflet.js failed"

I set the PR as draft, feel free to put it as ready, when finished. Thanks !

I think create a new contribution should be better. After that we can document about the new module. This will be a good start to prevent break modules due this change.

Yes, I was working on it and I finished when I read this, sorry!

PS: Now leaflet 1.94 is used.

Hi @drkpkg. I splitted the a module that contains leaflet lib in two modules here : OCA/geospatial#380

• could you review this PR ?
• once merged, we can port the module web_leaflet_lib in V17.0, and make your module depends on the generic module.

Note : the module provide a parameter to define the tile system to be used. (https://github.com/OCA/geospatial/blob/16.0/web_view_leaflet_map/demo/ir_config_parameter.xml#L14)
So you can use it in your module, to avoid to :

• hardcode the url here : https://github.com/OCA/web/pull/2953/files#diff-69e21aab3b05c2fd8aea9018645ebcc17a3bd36543044cf283b2a738cb3340e0R87
• force users to use a system that can not be legal in case of heavy use of OSM (https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/)
  thanks !

Dependency updated. Runboat failed, but now the module will have the dependency from web_view_leaflet_map.

Dependency updated. Runboat failed, but now the module will have the dependency from web_view_leaflet_map.

That can not work immediately !

• you have to review and approve first the V16 PR ([16][REF] split web_view_leaflet_map into web_view_leaflet_map and web_leaflet_lib geospatial#380).
• wait to be merged
• then we can port it to V17. (trivial should not be take time).
• then your dependency will work.

note : the name is not web_view_leaflet_map but web_leaflet_lib.

thanks !

I did a little PR for leaflet OCA/geospatial#381
I think we can start with this, what do you think?

[legalsylvain]

Hi @drkpkg. You can review OCA/geospatial#383 (and then, base your work on this PR ).

thanks !
