-
-## Overview
-
-The `Context` object provides a way to share data between an arbitrary number
-of components. Usually, data is passed from a parent to its children component,
-but when we have to deal with some mostly global information, this can be
-annoying, since each component will need to pass the information to each children,
-even though some or most of them will not use the information.
-
-With a `Context` object, each component can subscribe (with the `useContext` hook)
-to its state, and will be updated whenever the context state is updated.
-
-## Example
-
-Assume that we have an application with various components which needs to render
-differently depending on the size of the device. Here is how we could proceed
-to make sure that the information is properly shared. First, let us create a
-context, and add it to the environment:
-
-```js
-const deviceContext = new Context({ isMobile: true });
-App.env.deviceContext = deviceContext;
-```
-
-If we want to make it completely responsive, we need to update its value whenever
-the size of the screen is updated:
-
-```js
-const isMobile = () => window.innerWidth <= 768;
-window.addEventListener(
-  "resize",
-  owl.utils.debounce(() => {
-    const state = deviceContext.state;
-    if (state.isMobile !== isMobile()) {
-      state.isMobile = !state.isMobile;
-    }
-  }, 15)
-);
-```
-
-Then, each component that want can subscribe and render differently depending on the
-fact that we are in a mobile or desktop mode.
-
-```js
-class SomeComponent extends Component {
-  static template = xml`
-    <div>
-      <t t-if=device.isMobile>
-          some simplified user interface
-      </t>
-      <t t-else="">
-          a more advanced user interface
-      </t>
-    </div>`;
-  device = useContext(this.env.deviceContext);
-}
-```
-
-## Reference
-
-### `Context`
-
-A `Context` object should be created with a state object:
-
-```js
-const someContext = new Context({ some: "key" });
-```
-
-Its state is now available in the `state` key:
-
-```js
-someContext.state.some = "other key";
-```
-
-This is the way some global code (such as the responsive code above) should
-read and update the context state. However, components should not ever read the
-context state directly from the context, they should instead use the `useContext`
-hook to properly register themselves to state changes.
-
-Note that the `Context` hook is different from the React version. For example,
-there is no concept of provider/consumer. So, the `Context` feature does not
-by itself allow the use of a different context state depending on the component
-place in the component tree. However, this functionality can be obtained, if
-necessary, with the use of sub environment.
-
-### `useContext`
-
-The `useContext` hook is the normal way for a component to register themselve
-to context state changes. The `useContext` method returns the context state:
-
-```js
-device = useContext(this.env.deviceContext);
-```
-
-It is a simple observed state (with an owl `Observer`), which contains the shared
-information.

+# 🦉 Precompiling templates 🦉
+
+Owl is designed to be used by the Odoo javascript framework. Since Odoo handles
+its assets in its own non standard way, it was decided/assumed that Owl would
+compile templates at runtime.
+
+However, in some cases, it is not optimal, or even worse, not possible to do that.
+For example, browser extensions do not allow javascript code to create a new
+function (using the `new Function(...)` syntax).
+
+Therefore, in these cases, it is required to compile templates ahead of time. It
+is possible to do that in Owl, but the tooling is still rough. For now, the
+process is the following:
+
+1. write your templates in xml files (with a `t-name` directive to declare the name
+   of the template)
+2. Compile them in a `templates.js` file
+3. get the `owl.iife.runtime.js` file (which is a owl build without the compiler)
+4. bundle `owl.iife.runtime.js` and `template.js` with your assets (owl needs to
+   be positioned before the templates)
+
+Here is a more detailed explanation on how to compile xml files into a js file:
+
+1. clone the owl repository locally
+2. `npm install` to install all the required tooling
+3. `npm run build:runtime` to build the `owl.iife.runtime.js` file
+4. `npm run build:compiler` to build the template compiler
+5. `npm run compile_templates -- path/to/your/templates` will scan your target
+   folder, find all xml files, get all templates, compile them, and generate a
+   `templates.js` file.
