What is qweb?
Qweb is a reporting engine or template engine used by odoo. By using this (qweb) we can create reports in odoo. It uses XML to create design of reports as per your need. We can also say that qweb is XML based reporting engine for OpenERP/Odoo.Models.py:
1 class student_status_report_probation(models.AbstractModel):
2 _name = 'report.obe_reports_hec.report_student_on_probation'
3 @api.multi
4 def render_html(self,data=None):
5 report_obj = self.env['report']
6 print('>>>>>>>>>>.....', report_obj)
7 report = report_obj._get_report_from_name('obe_reports_hec.report_student_on_probation')
8 print('>>>>>>>>>>', report)
9 data_array = []
11 docargs = {
12 'data':data_array,
13 }
14 return report_obj.render('obe_reports_hec.report_student_on_probation', docargs)
Description:
Here we describe important lines, In line no 1 we declare a class named "student_status_report_probation" and here we use "AbstractModel", for creating our reports.
In line no 2 we declare the name of our report (Note: Here the important things is the name of the report should be same as the name of "template_id" which is created in xml file of the report.)
and In line no 14 we render our "Data" to xml files.
