## Overview
|
|
|
|
To help work with/improve/learn OWL, there are a few extras tools/settings.
|
|
|
|
- development mode: enable better error reporting for the developer
|
|
- a playground application: a space to experiment and learn Owl.
|
|
- a benchmarks application: allow comparison with a few common frameworks
|
|
|
|
The two applications are available in the `tools/` folder, and can be accessed
|
|
by using a static http server. A simple python
|
|
server is available in `server.py`. There is also a npm script to start it:
|
|
`npm run tools` (and its version with a watcher: `npm run tools:watch`).
|
|
|
|
## Development Mode
|
|
|
|
By default, Owl is in _production_ mode, this means that it will try to do its
|
|
job fast, and skip some expensive operations. However, in some cases, it is
|
|
convenient to have better information on what is going on, this is the purpose
|
|
of the dev mode.
|
|
|
|
Owl has a mode flag, in `owl.__info__.mode`. Its default value is `prod`, but
|
|
it can be set to `dev`:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
owl.__info__.mode = "dev";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that templates compiled with the `prod` settings will not be recompiled.
|
|
So, changing this setting is best done at startup.
|
|
|
|
## Playground
|
|
|
|
The playground is an important application designed to help learning and
|
|
experimenting with Owl. The last published version of Owl can be tested [online](https://odoo.github.io/owl/playground/).
|
|
|
|
It is an application similar to `jsFiddle`, but specialized for Owl: there are
|
|
three tabs (`js`, `css` and `xml`), and a simple button `Run` to execute that
|
|
code in an iframe.
|
|
|
|
## Benchmarks
|
|
|
|
Note: This is more an internal tool, useful for people working on Owl.
|
|
|
|
The benchmarks application is a very small application, implemented in different
|
|
frameworks, and in different versions of Owl. This is a simple internal tool,
|
|
useful to compare various performance metrics on some tasks.
