Hi,

I am new to Odoo. I have a requirement to create person model with date of birth. Can I use compute field for the person's age?

I haven't put the logic to count person's age from date of birth. Also I see that the physical table does not contain the compute field. 

But when I tried to view the module I created, the age does not display number 30.

How to use the compute field so that the user don't have to input the age (auto calculate from date of birth) and everytime I view the record, the age calculate according to current date?

This is my view

<record model="ir.actions.act_window" id="person_list_action">

   <field name="name">Person</field>
   <field name="res_model">earth.person</field>
   <field name="view_type">form</field>
   <field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
   <field name="help" type="html">
    <p class="oe_view_nocontent_create">Create the first person
    </p>
   </field>
  </record>

        <!-- override the automatically generated list view for courses -->
        <record model="ir.ui.view" id="person_tree_view">
            <field name="name">person.tree</field>
            <field name="model">earth.person</field>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <tree string="Person Tree">
                    <field name="first_name"/>
                    <field name="last_name"/>
                    <field name="date_of_birth"/>
                    <field name="age"/>
                </tree>
            </field>
        </record>

This is my model

class Person(models.Model):
 _name = 'earth.person'

 first_name = fields.Char(string="First Name", required=True)
 last_name = fields.Char(string="Last Name")
 date_of_birth = fields.Date()
 age = fields.Integer(compute='_compute_person_age')

 @api.depends('date_of_birth')
 def _compute_person_age(self):
  return 30

Hi Erwin,

You can try like this,

@api.depends('date_of_birth')
def _compute_person_age(self):
if self.date_of_birth:
birth_date = datetime.strptime(self.birth_date, '%m/%d/%Y')
self.age = (datetime.today() - birth_date).days / 365

Hi Niyas thank you for the answer.

I tried your code it gives me global name datetime is not defined. Where should I import datetime to use inside compute fields?

Not inside the compute function, you have to import in the top of the python file
