Init Hooks

The manifest file's init hook can be used to perform any operation you desire. This section demonstrates how to use the init hook to generate some records.Post_ init_hook is used for this.

We are generating records using the student.student model.

from odoo import fields, models
class Student(models.Model):
   _name = "student.student"
   _description = "Student"
   name = fields.Char(string="Name", required=True)
   phone = fields.Char(string="Phone Number")
   email = fields.Char(string="Email", required=True)

By using the key register the hook in the __manifest__.py file, this is the first step. Post_init_hook. Odoo will look for the corresponding method in the init file and execute it after the module has been installed.

'post_init_hook': 'create_student',

In the init file, add the create_student() method. In this method, we use the create method to create a sample student record.

In a real-time scenario, we can implement complex business logic here.

from odoo import api, SUPERUSER_ID
def create_student(cr, registry):
   env = api.Environment(cr, SUPERUSER_ID, {})
   env['student.student'].create({
       'name': 'Student 1',
       'phone': '+7865 6675 2341',
       'email': 'student1@student.com'
   })

Additionally, Odoo supports two more hooks.

Those are pre_init_hook hook and uninstall_hook. The pre_init_hook will be called before the module installation. The uninstall_hook is called at the time of module installation.
