Using template variable in odoo

I am new to Odoo. I'm currently using v12 of Odoo. How to render a template variable in XML like it is done in Django?

e.g. views.py

def function_name(self):
    context={
    'something':something
    }
    .
    .
    return render(request, "index.html", context)

e.g. index.html

{% for item in context %}
<p>{{ item.something }}</p>
{% endfor %}

How to render this in Odoo XML and how to pass the context variable from python file?

Solution

  • The template code example you provided looks like Jinja2 which is used by Django, Flask, etc. I believe Jinja can be used within certain areas, but you should be using Qweb for the most part within Odoo.

    Qweb example:

    <div>
    <t t-if='condition'>
        <operations>
    </t>
</div>

    Here's a good article on Qweb in Odoo 12
