include a javascript code only for a certain view type

Question

I want to add a javascript code only when the user create a record or update a record for the res.partner model.

I already tryied to include a javascript file using this technique (and I will explain what it does below) :

<odoo>
    <data>
        <template id="my_module_script" name="my module script" inherit_id="web.assets_backend">
            <xpath expr="." position="inside">
                <script type="text/javascript" src="/my_module/static/src/js/script.js"></script>
            </xpath>
        </template>
    </data>
</odoo>

This works great, my javascript file is now included... but in any views (and not only for my specific partner create/update view).

QUESTION

Is there any way I can tell odoo to load a specific javascript (or css file as well) for a specific view type (I would like for this example the javascript file loaded for base.view_partner_form view) ?

Answer 1

If you include your javascript file, it will be compiled to web.assets_backend.js every time the module is installed.

And web.assets_backend.js is loaded on every time the backend page is loaded, not when a view is loaded.

Odoo is designed to be a SPA. The javascript files are loaded on the first page load.

So I don't think this should be done by this way (add custom js to a view), but by the Odoo's way: Trigger your code by specific actions.
