I am new in the forum.
I am currently working with Odoo 12 and I'm having some problems communicating Odoo Model with my Javascript Widget. Step by step...
1. I am creating a widget that shows some Google Charts and the only way I've found was to show the QWeb code in a custom view and assign the Widget to a Char field.
2. I've achieved a nice approach using rpc in my start: function using rpc and getting the data from the module.
3. THE PROBLEM:
I need to show two Date fields in the form and use that dates as an interval for my Google Charts: How can I get the date values in my @api.model
function??
The function can only read a resultset of all the table, when I try to get the result (self.init_date) set in the field, I always receive "False"
Sorry, I can't post the code today, but on Monday I will post it if nobody can give me the answer.
Thank you very much!
The api.model decorator gives you access to the model's methods but not to the records, so they can be called when the model has no records (See https://www.odoo.com/documentation/12.0/reference/orm.html#module-odoo.api).
If the method you wrote is intended to always receive a record, just remove the api.model decorator.
