POS Backend Communication
=========================

Common use case:
 - a click on a button on the pos opens the backend in a popup to a specific view.
 - a click on a button on the backend's view send to pos some interesting data.

Implementations
---------------

pos_backend_partner: select a pos customer from the backend


Configuration
=============

No configuration is needed.

Developper Guide
================

The POS communicate with subpages (popups) with [window.open](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Window/open) and [window.postMessage](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Window/postMessage) 

Popups are in not-so-old browsers opened in tabs.

When a backend page is open, a class is set on body to hide menus.


Roadmap

- Improve origin verificiation
- Try to use frames instead of popups
- Use notifications for supported browsers
