Global odoo object
==================

Overview
--------

Whenever the odoo web client is loaded on a page, a special global variable ``odoo``
will be set in the page. This object contains a few useful methods/entities.
These values are there for information, integration or debugging purposes, and
are not to be used by business code.

.. code-block:: js

   // in browser console (opened with F12)
   console.log(odoo);
   // will display an object looking like this:
   // {
   //   info: {...},
   //   __DEBUG__: {...}
   // }

Exported Values
---------------

Here is an explanation of what each exported values are:


* 
  ``info`` : this is an object which contains a few informations about the odoo
  server that we are connected to.


  * ``db (string)`` : the technical name of the current postgres database
  * ``server_version (string)`` : a short string describing the version of the odoo
    code currently running. It may look like this: ``14.1alpha1``.
  * ``server_version_info ((string|number)[])`` : the ``server_version`` string is not
    easy to parse/consume, so the ``server_version_info`` key is exported as well.
    It is an array looking like this: ``[14, 1, 0, "alpha", 1, ""]``

* 
  ``__DEBUG__`` : this object contains values that are useful to debug/play with the
  odoo application, but that should not be accessed in real code


  * ``root (Component)`` : this is the main web client instance
