Widgets rendering¶

Widgets offer the possibility of assigning a widget type, allowing for multiple variants for the same field type.

Types¶

The type of the field can be overloaded by the widget.

Supported widget types :

Example with a moment field defined as datetime, which should be displayed as a simple date:

{
    "type": "field",
    "value": "moment",
    "width": "33%",
    "widget": {
        "type": "date"
    }
}

Other values are possible for specific field types:

boolean: * toggle (default) * checkbox

many2one: * select (default: inline selection with typeahead, with the possibility of new context for creation or advanced selection)

one2many: * list (default) * multiselect (multi-select input view)

many2many: * list (default) * multiselect (multi-select input view)

The widget variant can also be assigned using the usage property.

Most official content-types and also:

{
    "type": "field",
    "value": "description",
    "width": "50%",
    "widget": {
        "usage": "text/plain"
    }
}

Example with an issue_date field defined as datetime, which should be displayed with a specific format (here short):

{
    "type": "field",
    "value": "issue_date",
    "width": "15%",
    "widget": {
        "usage": "datetime/short"
    }
}
