===========================
2D matrix for x2many fields
===========================

This module allows to show an x2many field with 3-tuples
($x_value, $y_value, $value) in a table

+-----------+-------------+-------------+
|           | $x_value1   | $x_value2   |
+===========+=============+=============+
| $y_value1 | $value(1/1) | $value(2/1) |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+
| $y_value2 | $value(1/2) | $value(2/2) |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+

where `value(n/n)` is editable.

An example use case would be: Select some projects and some employees so that
a manager can easily fill in the planned_hours for one task per employee. The
result could look like this:

The beauty of this is that you have an arbitrary amount of columns with this
widget, trying to get this in standard x2many lists involves some quite ugly
hacks.

Usage
=====

Use this widget by saying::

<field name="my_field" widget="x2many_2d_matrix" />

This assumes that my_field refers to a model with the fields `x`, `y` and
`value`. If your fields are named differently, pass the correct names as
attributes:

.. code-block:: xml

    <field name="my_field" widget="x2many_2d_matrix" field_x_axis="my_field1" field_y_axis="my_field2" field_value="my_field3">
        <tree>
            <field name="my_field"/>
            <field name="my_field1"/>
            <field name="my_field2"/>
            <field name="my_field3"/>
        </tree>
    </field>

You can pass the following parameters:

field_x_axis
    The field that indicates the x value of a point
field_y_axis
    The field that indicates the y value of a point
field_label_x_axis
    Use another field to display in the table header
field_label_y_axis
    Use another field to display in the table header
field_value
    Show this field as value
show_row_totals
    If field_value is a numeric field, it indicates if you want to calculate
    row totals. True by default
show_column_totals
    If field_value is a numeric field, it indicates if you want to calculate
    column totals. True by default

Example
=======

You need a data structure already filled with values. Let's assume we want to
use this widget in a wizard that lets the user fill in planned hours for one
task per project per user. In this case, we can use ``project.task`` as our
data model and point to it from our wizard. The crucial part is that we fill
the field in the default function:

.. code-block:: python

    from odoo import fields, models

    class MyWizard(models.TransientModel):
        _name = 'my.wizard'

        def _default_task_ids(self):
            # your list of project should come from the context, some selection
            # in a previous wizard or wherever else
            projects = self.env['project.project'].browse([1, 2, 3])
            # same with users
            users = self.env['res.users'].browse([1, 2, 3])
            return [
                (0, 0, {
                    'name': 'Sample task name',
                    'project_id': p.id,
                    'user_id': u.id,
                    'planned_hours': 0,
                    'message_needaction': False,
                    'date_deadline': fields.Date.today(),
                })
                # if the project doesn't have a task for the user,
                # create a new one
                if not p.task_ids.filtered(lambda x: x.user_id == u) else
                # otherwise, return the task
                (4, p.task_ids.filtered(lambda x: x.user_id == u)[0].id)
                for p in projects
                for u in users
            ]

        task_ids = fields.Many2many('project.task', default=_default_task_ids)

Now in our wizard, we can use:

.. code-block:: xml

    <field name="task_ids" widget="x2many_2d_matrix" field_x_axis="project_id" field_y_axis="user_id" field_value="planned_hours">
        <tree>
            <field name="task_ids"/>
            <field name="project_id"/>
            <field name="user_id"/>
            <field name="planned_hours"/>
        </tree>
    </field>

Known issues / Roadmap
======================

* Support extra attributes on each field cell via `field_extra_attrs` param.
  We could set a cell as not editable, required or readonly for instance.
  The `readonly` case will also give the ability
  to click on m2o to open related records.

* Support limit total records in the matrix. Ref: https://github.com/OCA/web/issues/901

* Support cell traversal through keyboard arrows.

* Entering the widget from behind by pressing ``Shift+TAB`` in your keyboard
  will enter into the 1st cell until https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/26490
  is merged.

Bug Tracker
===========

Bugs are tracked on `GitHub Issues
<https://github.com/OCA/web/issues>`_. In case of trouble, please
check there if your issue has already been reported. If you spotted it first,
help us smash it by providing a detailed and welcomed feedback.
