🐾 Odoo Basic Course

Solution code for each chapter — Odoo 19 · Python · OWL

What is this?

This repository contains the complete solution code for each chapter of the Odoo Basic Course — a structured learning path for developers who are new to Odoo 19. Each chapter folder is a self-contained, runnable snapshot of the petshop addon at that stage of the course.

The running example throughout the course is petshop — a Pet Shop management addon built from scratch, growing chapter by chapter until it becomes a full-featured Odoo module.

📚 Course Outline

Chapter	Topic	What you build
I	Overview	Set up Odoo 19 with Docker · understand MVC architecture · install and update addons
II	Model	Create the petshop addon · define models and fields · relational fields (Many2one, One2many, Many2many) · computed fields · @api decorators · Wizard
III	View	List & Form views · Kanban (Odoo 19 t-name="card") · Search / Filter / Group By · Graph & Pivot views
IV	Controller	HTTP Controller · REST API · JSON-RPC · JSON-2 API (Odoo 19)
V	Inheritance	Extend petshop with petshop_plus · Class / Prototype / Delegation model inheritance · View inheritance with xpath · Controller override
VI	Frontend	OWL components · custom widget Counter · custom widget MyTable · server-side calls via ORM service
VII	Other Technical & Production	Access control (groups & rules) · PDF/HTML reports · Email integration · Scheduled actions (Cron) · SQL queries · Database backup · CI/CD with Jenkins
VIII	Vibe Coding	Build Odoo addons assisted by AI — prompting patterns, review, iteration

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose
• Git

Run a chapter

Pick any chapter and run it locally in minutes:

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-org/odoo-basic-course.git
cd odoo-basic-course

# 2. Enter the chapter you want to study
cd II-Model/

# 3. Start Odoo + PostgreSQL
docker compose up -d

# 4. Open in browser
#    http://localhost:10019
#    Default credentials: admin / admin

Each chapter uses port 10019 by default. Stop one chapter before starting another to avoid port conflicts.
