DTG Base Skill

Complete reference for DTG Base module utilities and helpers in Odoo 18.

What is DTG Base?

DTG Base is a custom abstract model (dtg_base.DTGBase) that provides common utility methods for Odoo development. It's designed to be inherited by other models to gain access to helpful utilities.

Quick Reference

UtilityDescription
Date & PeriodFind first/last date of period, period iteration
TimezoneConvert local to UTC, UTC to local
BarcodeCheck barcode exists, generate EAN13
Batch ProcessingSplit large recordsets into batches
after_commitExecute code after transaction commit
Vietnamese TextStrip accents, convert to non-accent
File UtilitiesZip directories, get file size
Number UtilitiesRound to decimal places

Main Guide

File: odoo-18-dtg-base-guide.md

When to use this skill

  • Working with DTG Odoo codebase
  • Need date/period calculations
  • Timezone conversions
  • Barcode validation
  • Batch processing large recordsets
  • Vietnamese text processing
  • File zipping utilities

DTGBase Abstract Model

Inherit from DTGBase

Location: addons_customs/erp/dtg_base/models/dtg_base.py

from odoo import models

class MyModel(models.Model):
    _name = 'my.model'
    _inherit = ['dtg_base.dtg_base']

    def my_method(self):
        # Now you have access to all DTGBase utilities
        first_date = self.find_first_date_of_period('2024-01-15', 'month')
        utc_date = self.convert_local_to_utc('2024-01-15 10:00:00')

Guides Odoo-style commit creation following official Odoo git guidelines. Drafts `[TAG] module: short description` messages, checks whether to amend or create a new commit, stages files explicitly, commits via `git commit -F`, and keeps local history clean before PRs. Auto-invokes for commit-related requests in Odoo repositories and takes priority over generic commit skills.

odoo-workflow

Free

Mandatory pre-code gate and definition-of-done for ANY Odoo change (add field, override method, inherit view/xpath, OWL/JS patch, wizard, cron, controller, report, security, migration, bug fix, refactor, "optimize", "clean code", "stick to base"), Odoo 16-19. Also when the user pastes an Odoo traceback or install/upgrade error (ParseError "cannot be located in parent view", "Field ... does not exist", missing xmlid) or asks where an Odoo model, field, method, view or xmlid is defined. Run BEFORE brainstorming or planning: Odoo design questions are answered by tracing the real source into a Context Brief (file:line), not by open-ended Q&A or memory. Resolves the Odoo runtime and version, loads the matching odoo-<major> pack, and closes with install, test, upgrade, i18n, security and hygiene checks before commit.
