Smart Suggestions ​

The Smart Suggestion feature enhances your Odoo development experience by offering intelligent, context-aware code completions. It significantly improves productivity and reduces errors by suggesting relevant model names, field names, and class attributes based on the context in both Python and XML files.

Key Features ​

  • Context-aware completions for common Odoo patterns
  • Auto-suggestions for model and field names in both Python and XML
  • Reduces manual errors and accelerates development workflows
  • Compatible with Odoo's ORM, API decorators, and XML view definitions

Python Suggestions ​

Model Names ​

The plugin provides intelligent completions in the following Python contexts:

_inherit Attribute ​

python
class MyModel(models.Model):
    _inherit = '|'  # Suggests existing model names

Relational Fields ​

python
class MyModel(models.Model):
    partner_id = fields.Many2one('|')  # Suggests model names for comodel_name
    line_ids = fields.One2many('|', 'inverse_field')  # Suggests model names and inverse field name

Environment Access ​

python
def my_method(self):
    self.env['|']  # Suggests model names when accessing through env

Field Names ​

API Decorators ​

python
@api.depends('|')  # Suggests field names
@api.onchange('|')  # Suggests field names
@api.constrains('|')  # Suggests field names

Record Access ​

python
def my_method(self):
    self.relational_field_id.|  # Suggests field names when accessing records
