Parameterized Snippets

This module adds extensions in order to render available to the programmer a new tag in qweb views: "t-ignore-branding". Everything inside this tag will be ignored by the qweb evaluator, allowing the code to be evaluated on the fly.

The final result of this will be dynamic parameters in your widgets. This would allow widgets to be defined as "Show the last 5 entries of this model" or "Show all the data that has an attribute corresponding to the selected attibute". Widgets therefore will display parameter-dependant (1,2, or n parameters) information, and most importantly keep it updated on every pageload.

Usage

Creating a Parametric Snippet:

Create a normal snippet and in the snippet_body_section create a div that will contain the parametric part of the snippet content. Identify this div with a specific class, such as "parametricTemplate". This div will be empty ( we will inject via JS our template call code.)

Create a template stanza with the content of your snippet.

Create a snippet options entry with a data-snippet-option-id and a data-selector option.

Create The javascript to tie everything together, the JS extends the snippet options by identifying it by data-snippet-option-id fetches the selected options and on clean_for_save event injects a t-call in the 'parametricTempalate' div of our actual content with attribute ('t-ignore-branding', '1') and append also t-sets of the desired parameters with their values, also with the attribute ('t-ignore-branding, '1') appended.

Examples of modules that use this tag (will be updated)

Thanks to Laurent Mignon <laurent.mignon@acsone.eu> for extending also website.qweb.field.html to render t-call elements inserted by snippets using the parametic approach and stored on the related model itself.
