odoo-editor-poc

Web Editor Proof of Concept

  • VDOM == DOM
  • Bidirectional Sync: DOM -> vDOM, vDOM -> DOM
  • Fast Diff / Patch through MutationObserver
  • Allow having a DOM that diverges from VDOM
  • Undo / Redo History (redo in progress)
  • Unbreakable
  • floating toolbar on selection
  • Collaborative mode

Usage

to run in standalone mode (from this directory):

npm i
npm run dev

to run in collaborative mode:

./server.py

WARNING: collaborative does not work yet with undo.

Devlopment in Odoo

To build the lib for Odoo we need to generate a build for Odoo as it does not support javascript module yet.

Install the build library if not already done:

npm install

Build the library:

npm run build

To build contuously as file changes (when developing):

npm run build -- --watch

Then, copy bundles:

cp <editor_absolute_path>/build/odoo-editor-bundle.js <odoo_absolute_path>/addons/web_editor/static/lib/odoo-editor/odoo-editor.js
cp <editor_absolute_path>/build/odoo-editor-bundle.css <odoo_absolute_path>/addons/web_editor/static/lib/odoo-editor/odoo-editor.css

Or link them (when developing):

ln -s <editor_absolute_path>/build/odoo-editor-bundle.js <odoo_absolute_path>/addons/web_editor/static/lib/odoo-editor/odoo-editor.js
ln -s <editor_absolute_path>/build/odoo-editor-bundle.css <odoo_absolute_path>/addons/web_editor/static/lib/odoo-editor/odoo-editor.css

To Improve

Undo should add a reverted step in the history, rather than rollbacking the history; redo support, and no more issue on collaboration mode. Instead of applying an history step backward: revert the record, and do a regular apply. Should reduce code by ~20 lines too.

Simple actions (b,u,i) still use execCommand; to implement for cross-browser.
