2015-03-18[IMP] web+addons: improvement to module systemGéry Debongnie
The module system needs to know the dependencies of a given module before executing the function. This is why the dependencies were defined once in an array, and then were described one more times in the call to require. But a trick can simplify this: the boot function can parse the string representation of the module and extract the calls to require from it. It is more work for the processor, but it leads to simpler module definitions.
2015-03-18[REF] web: add module system to the web clientGéry Debongnie
This commit introduces a new module system for the javascript code. Instead of using global (namespaced) variables everywhere (like openerp.web.whatever, ...), each file declare one (or more) module with its dependencies. Each module will be loaded after its dependencies, and will be given a reference to the return values. This change is a massive departure from the way the client worked previously. It will sadly break some/most history, but I am sure that the future git ecosystem will allow you to easily browse the history past this revision (one can dream). This commit feature: * main namespace is now odoo instead of openerp * a way to define modules and dependencies (inspired by requirejs) * many files have been splitted in simpler subfiles * basic support for debugging in odoo.__DEBUG__ * no global variable (i.e. nothing in window.openerp) * many bug fixes, many new bugs Future vision: this modularization should simplify future code development, simplify debugging and will allow a serious testing effort
