Dynamic Snippets

Architecture

Data Source (ir.filters) → Filter (website.snippet.filter) → Display Template

Creating a Dynamic Snippet

Step 1: Define Filter

<record id="dynamic_filter_my_items" model="website.snippet.filter">
    <field name="name">My Items</field>
    <field name="model_name">my.model</field>
    <field name="limit">12</field>
    <field name="filter_id" ref="ir_filter_my_items"/>
</record>

Step 2: Display Template

<template id="dynamic_filter_template_my_model_card" name="Card">
    <t t-foreach="records" t-as="record">
        <div class="col-lg-4 mb-4">
            <div class="card h-100 shadow-sm">
                <img t-att-src="record.image_url" class="card-img-top"/>
                <div class="card-body">
                    <h5 class="card-title" t-esc="record.name"/>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </t>
</template>

Step 3: Dynamic Snippet

<template id="s_dynamic_my_items" name="Dynamic My Items">
    <section class="s_dynamic_snippet s_dynamic_my_items pt48 pb48"
             data-snippet="s_dynamic_my_items"
             data-filter-id="my_module.dynamic_filter_my_items"
             data-template-key="my_module.dynamic_filter_template_my_model_card"
             data-number-of-elements="6">
        <div class="container">
            <div class="dynamic_snippet_template row"/>
        </div>
    </section>
</template>

Snippet JavaScript

publicWidget for Snippets

/** @odoo-module **/
import publicWidget from "@web/legacy/js/public/public_widget";

publicWidget.registry.MySnippet = publicWidget.Widget.extend({
    selector: '.s_my_snippet',
    disabledInEditableMode: false,

    start: function () {
        if (!this.editableMode) {
            this._initializeAnimations();
        }
        return this._super(...arguments);
    },

    destroy: function () {
        $(window).off('.mySnippet');
        this._super(...arguments);
    },
});

Snippet Options Handler

/** @odoo-module **/
import options from "@web_editor/js/editor/snippets.options";

options.registry.MySnippetOption = options.Class.extend({
    selectDataAttribute: function(previewMode, widgetValue, params) {
        this._super(...arguments);
        if (params.attributeName === 'layout') {
            this._applyLayout(widgetValue);
        }
    },
});
