Fields
======
In Odoo, the word *field* is mostly used to denote a part of a model, usually
represented by a column in a database. Fields are represented by components in
the user interface (mostly in the form, kanban and list view). In this page, we document
how these field components work and how to use them.
How to define a field
=====================
Fields are simply owl components registered in the fields registry.
.. code-block:: javascript
import { registry } from "@web/core/registry";
const { Component } = owl;
const { xml } = owl.tags;
class CounterField extends Component {
increment() {
if (!this.props.readonly) {
this.props.update(this.props.value + 1);
}
}
}
CounterField.template = xml`
<div t-on-click="increment">
<t t-esc="props.value">
</div>
`;
registry.category("fields").add("counter", CounterField);
The component of a field receives several props:
.. list-table::

decimal (e.g. `0.5671` would be converted to `56.7%`). When the user enters the edit mode, the
value is still visible as a percentage, but the inner value is not rounded this time. In the
