Search Engine Serilizer Pydantic

This module is a technical module that define a new abstract class named PydandicModelSerializer that inherit from odoo.addons.connector_search_engine.tools.serializer.ModelSerializer

This new class define a new abstract method get_model_class. This method is used by the index to get the Pydantic model class to use to generate the json schema.

On the index form, if the serializer is a PydanticModelSerializer, a field is displayed to display the related json schema and therefore provide documentation about the fields exported and their characteristics.

Use Cases / Context

When you export records to a search engine, it's common to want to provides documentation about the fields exported and their characteristics.

When the serializer used to export the records is a Pydantic model, you can use the json schema generated by Pydantic to provide this documentation.

Usage

When you define a serializer based on a Pydantic model, your serializer class must inherit from PydanticModelSerializer and implement the method get_model_class to take advantage of the functionality provided by this module.

Example:

from typing import Type
from pydantic import BaseModel

from odoo.addons.search_engine_serialize_pydantic.tools.serializer import (
    PydanticModelSerializer,
)


class MyModel(BaseModel):
    name: str
    description: str

    def record_to_model(self, record: Model) -> dict:
        return cls(
            name=record.name,
            description=record.description,
        )

class MyModelSerializer(PydanticModelSerializer):
    def get_model_class(self) -> Type[MyModel]:
        return MyModel

    def serialize(self, record: Model) -> dict:
        model: MyModel = self.get_model_class().record_to_model(record)
        return model.model_dump()

Known issues / Roadmap

• Add dedicated widget to display in a user friendly way the json schema generated by the serializer on the index form.
