hi, anyone know that,


if we want to patch a owl class, like 'searchpanel'.  how to do that?


===========

like that In odoo 13, we use include. 


Patching an existing class

It is not common, but we sometimes need to modify another class in place. The goal is to have a mechanism to change a class and all future/present instances. This is done by using the include method:


var Hamster = require('web.Hamster');

Hamster.include({
    sleep: function () {
        this._super.apply(this, arguments);
        console.log('zzzz');
    },
});

odoo.define('my_module/static/src/js/search_bar.js', function (require) {
  'use strict';

  const { patch } = require('web.utils');
  const components = {
    SearchBar: require('web.SearchBar')
  };

  patch(components.SearchBar, 'my_module/static/src/js/search_bar.js', {
    _onSearchInput(ev) {
      // do some stuff here
      return this._super(...arguments);
    }
  });
});

Thanks for the response, but the way you did it only overrides an existing function, how would you add a new function to an existing class?

Oleh Diatlenko

Have you tried to add new methods this way? In this example, I updated the existing method indeed. But in our project, I also added a new method just next to the _onSearchInput method, and access to it using "this". Hope that helped you. And yeah, if that doesn't help, you can do it using monkey-patch - I think someone else already added an example.

const Registry = require('web.Registry');
const Hamster = require('web.Hamster');
const ExtendedHamster = (Hamster) =>
    class extends Hamster {
        sleep() { 
            super.sleep(...arguments); 
            console.log('zzzz');
         }
    }
Registry.Component.extend(Hamster, ExtendedHamster);
return ExtendedHamster;

monkey-patching should work indeed, but odoo developers suggest using the patch method instead.

After saying Shurshilov's example i work a litle to find a proper solution. Here you can find a complete example.

Thanks Shurshilov!

.js file

odoo.define('mail_message_select/static/src/js/mail_message_select.js', function (require) {
'use strict';
/*
 - Add new owl.Context variable 'selectedMessage' to mail environment to control which message is selected.
 - Add new Context selectedMessage reaction to Message component to control message selected appearance.
 - Add new property dummy_property_example to illustrate how to add a new property.
 - Overwrite _onClick Message component to save in the Context clicked message as selected.
 - Create new get isSelectedMessage method accessible from template.

const {Context} = owl;
const {useContext} = owl.hooks;
const DiscussWidget = require('mail/static/src/widgets/discuss/discuss.js'); // Where the mail environment is created
const MessageList = require('mail/static/src/components/message_list/message_list.js'); // Message's parent component

I made the solution on classes, not prototypes. Since a separate difference between an owl is that it consists of native classes.

Shurshilov, could you publish your solution, please?

odoo.define('attachments_manager/static/src/components/attachment_box_custom/attachment_box_custom.js', function (require) {

'use strict';

const patchMixin = require('web.patchMixin');

const CustomAttachmentBox = patchMixin(require('mail/static/src/components/attachment_box/attachment_box.js'));

const Chatter = require('mail/static/src/components/chatter/chatter.js');

const { Component, useState } = owl;

const { useRef } = owl.hooks;

CustomAttachmentBox.patch('attachments_manager.attachments_box', T => class extends T {

constructor(...args) {

super(...args);

this.state = useState({

hasFavoritesDialog: false,

hasWebcamDialog: false,

snapshot: ''

});

this._amNewRef = useRef('am-new');

}

});

Chatter.components.AttachmentBox = CustomAttachmentBox;

return Chatter.components.AttachmentBox;

});
