I am trying to expand the Barcode module to search additional models for scanned data and I'm trying to achieve this with Javascript and a Controller. Even tho *I think* I had some good progress, I cant seem to get the record to open on scan.
/** @odoo-module **/
import { rpc } from "@web/core/network/rpc";
import { registry } from "@web/core/registry";
console.log("Barcode Listener Initialized!");
const actionService = registry.category("services").get("action");
document.addEventListener("barcode_scanned", async function (event) {
let barcode = event.detail.barcode;
console.log("Scanned Barcode from Odoo App:", barcode);
try {
console.log("Sending JSON-RPC request with barcode:", barcode);
const response = await rpc("/web/barcode/scanned", { params: { barcode } });
console.log("JSON-RPC Response:", response);
if (response.warning) {
alert(response.warning);
} else {
console.log("Opening Dimension Record:", response);
await actionService.doAction(response);
}
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error sending barcode:", error);
}
});
this is my Java script and below is the controller
import logging
from odoo import http
from odoo.http import request
_logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
class BarcodeScannerController(http.Controller):
@http.route('/web/barcode/scanned', type='json', auth='user')
def barcode_scanned(self, **kwargs):
barcode = kwargs.get('barcode')
_logger.info("Received barcode: %s", barcode)
if not barcode:
return {'warning': 'No barcode received'}
dimension_record = request.env['dimension'].sudo().search([('barcode', '=', barcode)], limit=1)
if dimension_record:
action = request.env.ref('dimensions.action_dimension').sudo().read()[0]
action.update({
'res_id': dimension_record.id,
'views': [(False, 'form')],
'target': 'current'
})
_logger.info("Returning action: %s", action)
return action
return {'warning': 'No record found for this barcode'}
Below is a console attempt I made to see if it works and the outcome is
await fetch('/web/barcode/scanned', {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({ params: { barcode: "1313279717530" } })
}).then(res => res.json()).then(data => {
console.log("🔄 Fetch Response:", data);
});
VM6269:6 🔄 Fetch Response: {jsonrpc: '2.0', id: null, result: {…}}id: nulljsonrpc: "2.0"result: {id: 445, name: 'Dimensions', type: 'ir.actions.act_window', xml_id: 'dimensions.action_dimension', path: false, …}[[Prototype]]: Object

I appreciate any help thank you!
