Detailed explanation of odoo JS DoAction

doAction Actions are commonly used js Action one , Support
ir.actions.act_url url Jump
Native code ：

function _executeActURLAction(action, options) {
    
    if (action.target === "self") {
    
        env.services.router.redirect(action.url);
    } else {
    
        const w = browser.open(action.url, "_blank");
        if (!w || w.closed || typeof w.closed === "undefined") {
    
            const msg = env._t(
                "A popup window has been blocked. You may need to change your " +
                    "browser settings to allow popup windows for this page."
            );
            env.services.notification.add(msg, {
    
                sticky: true,
                type: "warning",
            });
        }
        if (options.onClose) {
    
            options.onClose();
        }
    }
}

Sample code ：

@api.model
def _redirect_to_iap_account(self):
    return {
    
        'type': 'ir.actions.act_url',
        'url': self.env['iap.account'].get_account_url(),
    }

ir.actions.act_window Back end window （ Back end form\tree View etc. ） call
Such as code ：

await doAction(webClient, {
    
    name: "Action name",
    res_model: "foo",
    type: "ir.actions.act_window",
    views: [
        [false, "graph"],
        [false, "legacy_toy"],
    ],
    context: {
    
        search_default_forecast_filter: 1,
        forecast_field: "date_field",
    },
});

effect ：

ir.actions.act_window_close close window , Through the “next” step
ir.actions.client Trigger the action completely implemented in the client
The use examples of the above two lines ：

return {
    
    'type': 'ir.actions.client',
    'tag': 'display_notification',
    'params': {
    
        'type': 'warning',
        'message': _("Two-factor authentication disabled for the following user(s): %s", ', '.join(self.mapped('name'))),
        'next': {
    'type': 'ir.actions.act_window_close'},
    }
}

ir.actions.report Generate qweb-html or qweb-pdf report form
See the code ：

ir.actions.server Execute server-side actions
For example, the following code ：

The effect that can be achieved ：

The above code explanation ：
And everything else in the data file （XML） Data defined in , The first is a containing attribute id and model Of label , What we want to define is Server Action, So we need to model Set to ir.actions.server, Then there is the corresponding Server Action Some fields under the model ：

model_id： On which model does the current action run 
binding_model_id： Bound model , The current action will appear in the view of the bound model 
state： The type of server action , All in all  4  Two optional types , Namely  code（ perform  Python  Code ）,object_create（ Create a new record ）,object_write（ Update record ）,multi（ Perform multiple actions ）
code： Corresponding  state  The type of  code, Is what the current action will execute when it runs  Python  Code 

You should have noticed that an attribute appears in the above definition ref, If I don't get it wrong , It should be reference Abbreviation , Its value is an external ID（external id）, The exterior of the action we defined above ID It is added when defining id The value of the property action_mark_todo_task_done, It points to a specific record （ It's like Many2one The fields are the same ）.

All models we define will be in ir.model.data There are corresponding records in the corresponding table , The exterior of these models ID Form like model_model_name, among model_name Is the model name model.name Of . Replace with _, For example, our todo.task Outside the model ID It's the prefix model add todo_task Composed of model_todo_task 了 .

Next we will see the fields code What's in it , We have some variables that can be used directly ：

env：Odoo  Operating environment 
model： Corresponding when the action is triggered  Odoo  Model examples 
record： The corresponding single record when the action is triggered （ For example, run the record corresponding to the current form in the form view ）, It could be empty 
records： The corresponding record set when the action is triggered （ If you check multiple records in the list view, trigger , The recordset points to these selected records ）, It could be empty 
Python  library ：time, datetime, dateutil, timezone  Time related  Python  library 
log： Used to record log information 
Warning： adopt  raise Warning('xxxxx')  Throw a warning message
