Hi,


Is it possible to override an OWL component without unregistering it?

I would like to adjust the `SwitchCompanyMenu` component with some additional functionality. However components like these are registered to the `systray` Registry. Can I override the Javascript/XML import or do I need to remove the entry from the Registry? The latter seems a bit inconvenient.
Odoo would import `switch_company_menu.xml` and `switch_company_menu.js` from the web addon and then I would remove the registered item from the `systray` Registry, so I can register a custom item with expanded functionality.

Couldn't find an answer to this in the docs and on the forum, perhaps I've been looking in the wrong direction.

Thanks in advance.

Eddy

I guess it is possible, but how will you handle updates then? Isn't it better to create a new one inheriting the existing one? That way it would be never overwritten upon udating.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. However if I want to extend the class, I'm already importing the component. So the component shouldn't be added to the systray Registry. That way I don't need to remove it like the code below.

```
import { SwitchCompanyMenu } from "@web/webclient/switch_company_menu/switch_company_menu";

export class CompanyMenu extends SwitchCompanyMenu {
// Expand SwitchCompanyMenu class with functionality
}

export const systrayItem = {
Component: CompanyMenu,
isDisplayed(env) {
const { availableCompanies } = env.services.company;
return Object.keys(availableCompanies).length > 1;
},
};

registry.category("systray").remove("SwitchCompanyMenu");
registry.category("systray").add("CompanyMenu", systrayItem, { sequence: 1 });
```

Is it not possible to have code snippets?

@Eddy I am faced with the same situation. Have you found a better solution?

I think what you need to ovveride the logic using 'patch'. Use import { patch } from "@web/core/utils/patch"; then u will be able modify or extend logic. if you use class.. extend it mean that you will create a new one base on what you extend when patch mean overide , add logic to it
