Key Features
Reactive OWL frontend components with dependency-tracked field state, so editing one input re-evaluates dependent visibility and computed values without a page reload
Live client-side validation with inline error messaging fired before the record is written, mirrored server-side for integrity
Authoritative backend rules in Python via compute methods (`@api.depends`), `@api.onchange` and `@api.constrains` so validation can't be bypassed by crafted requests
Conditional field visibility and read-only/required toggling driven by composite cross-field rules rather than scattered `attrs`/`invisible` domains
Submit-gating: enable/disable the save or submit action based on a live-evaluated rule set
Website and portal form support with validation through JSON-RPC/controller endpoints and CSRF-correct submissions
Backend form view extension via the standard renderer and assets bundles — no forked core, upgrade-survivable
Reusable component/hook library so new forms adopt the same interaction and validation patterns consistently
Field-level and record-level security honored inside the reactive layer via `ir.model.access.csv` and record rules
Computed helper text, dynamic placeholders and live totals recomputed as the user types
Optional downstream triggers wired to automated actions / server actions on validated submit
Clean module packaging: `__manifest__.py`, QWeb/XML templates, SCSS, and versioned assets for Odoo 17.0 / 18.0 / 19.0
Debounced and batched reactivity to avoid excess RPC round-trips on rapidly-edited fields
Optional external interoperability through the XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API for pre-fill or third-party validation
About this Product
Most Odoo forms — whether an internal backend view or a public website/portal form — start out static. A field changes, but nothing else reacts; validation fires only after a full round-trip to the server; conditional visibility, cross-field rules and computed helper text end up scattered across @api.onchange handlers, brittle attrs/invisible domains, and one-off website controllers. When your team needs a form to behave like a real application — recompute totals as the user types, gate a submit button on a composite rule, surface an inline error before the record is ever written — Odoo core runs out of road, and a typical off-the-shelf apps.odoo.com module only patches one narrow case rather than giving you a reusable component layer.
Why Choose Forms • Components API
Reactive OWL frontend components with dependency-tracked field state, so editing one input re-evaluates dependent visibility and computed values without a page reload
Live client-side validation with inline error messaging fired before the record is written, mirrored server-side for integrity
Authoritative backend rules in Python via compute methods (`@api.depends`), `@api.onchange` and `@api.constrains` so validation can't be bypassed by crafted requests
Conditional field visibility and read-only/required toggling driven by composite cross-field rules rather than scattered `attrs`/`invisible` domains
Submit-gating: enable/disable the save or submit action based on a live-evaluated rule set
Website and portal form support with validation through JSON-RPC/controller endpoints and CSRF-correct submissions
ECOSIRE builds a made-to-order Forms Components API: a cohesive integration layer that binds your frontend and backend so a form is interactive, reactive and validated end to end. On the frontend we implement OWL components and hooks that manage field state, dependency tracking and reactive re-render, so changing one input re-evaluates dependent visibility, computed display values and enable/disable logic without a page reload. On the backend we express the authoritative rules as Python — models.Model with fields, compute methods decorated @api.depends, @api.constrains and @api.onchange — so the same validation that runs live in the browser is enforced again at write time and can never be bypassed by a crafted request. For website and portal forms, submissions are validated through JSON-RPC/controller endpoints; for backend views we extend the standard form renderer rather than fork it, so the layer survives upgrades.
The build is grounded in real Odoo mechanics, not a bolt-on widget. Each component is declared in a proper module with its own __manifest__.py, assets bundles for the OWL/JS and SCSS, QWeb/XML templates for any public markup, and access control via ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so field-level and record-level permissions are respected inside the reactive layer. Where a form needs to trigger downstream behaviour we wire it to automated actions or server actions; where it must interoperate with external systems we expose or consume the XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API. We target Odoo 17.0, 18.0 and 19.0 and account for Community vs Enterprise differences up front — the interaction and validation core runs on Community, and we flag any capability that genuinely depends on an Enterprise feature before you commit to scope.
Delivery is build-to-order and transparent. It begins with a short scoping call to map your exact forms, fields, rules and integration points; from there we produce a fixed quotation and a staged plan. Typical delivery is 2–4 weeks from confirmed scope, depending on how many forms and how intricate the cross-field logic is. You receive the installable source for your version, a UAT pass on a staging database, and a documented rollback path before anything touches production. Pricing starts from $299 (indicative, single-company base scope); multi-company deployments, additional forms and integrations, deeper localization, and larger data-migration volume increase the quoted scope.

Who this is for
Odoo functional/technical lead
Owns the Odoo instance and is tired of stitching interactivity together with ad-hoc onchange handlers and attrs domains. Wants one reusable, upgrade-safe component layer that behaves predictably across forms.
Operations team running high-volume data entry
Their staff fill the same forms hundreds of times a day and lose time to round-trip validation and mistakes caught too late. Needs live reactivity, inline errors and submit-gating to cut correction cycles.
Digital/marketing team owning website & portal forms
Runs public lead, application or intake forms on the Odoo website or customer portal and needs real client-side interaction plus server-enforced validation, not a static form that only errors after submit.
Systems integrator / IT manager
Coordinates external systems and needs form submissions validated and optionally exchanged via the XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API, with proper security and a clean git handover for maintainability.

How Forms • Components API Compares
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | Odoo Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frontend reactivity | Dependency-tracked OWL components; re-render on change, no reload | Possible but you design the reactivity model yourself | Usually one fixed widget, limited to its own use case | |
| Validation model | Live client-side + authoritative Python constraints, enforced at write | Whatever you build; easy to leave client/server out of sync | Often client-only or narrow field rules | |
| Reusability across forms | Shared component/hook library applied consistently | Reusable only if you invest in abstracting it | Bound to the module's specific screens | |
| Upgrade safety | Extends standard renderer; clean module, versioned per 17/18/19 | Depends on discipline; forks are risky | Varies; may lag Odoo releases | |
| Security integration | Respects ir.model.access.csv + record rules inside the reactive layer | Must be wired correctly by hand | Generally respects core ACLs, scope-limited | |
| Website/portal forms | JSON-RPC/controller validation, CSRF-correct submissions | Build your own controllers and endpoints | Sometimes; often backend-only | |
| Support & ownership | Post-go-live window, docs, training, git handover — you own the code | Depends on your team/contractor availability | Vendor support tiers; source often obfuscated | |
| Cost & timeline | From $299 indicative; fixed quote after scoping; 2–4 weeks | Higher and less predictable; you carry the design risk | Low upfront but limited fit and customization |
Frequently Asked Questions about Forms • Components API
How long does delivery take?
This is a build-to-order engagement, not an instant download. After a scoping call to confirm the exact forms, fields and rules, typical delivery is 2–4 weeks from confirmed scope. More forms or more intricate cross-field logic can extend that, and we tell you the realistic timeline in the quotation.
How does pricing and scoping work?
Pricing starts from $299 as an indicative from-price for a single-company base scope. We run a short scoping call, then issue a fixed quotation for your specific requirements. Drivers like multi-company, additional forms and integrations, deeper localization and data-migration volume increase the quoted scope — you approve the fixed price before we build.
Which Odoo versions and editions do you support?
We build for Odoo 17.0, 18.0 and 19.0. The core interaction and validation layer runs on Community; if any capability you want genuinely depends on an Enterprise feature, we flag it during scoping so there are no surprises.
What about support and updates after go-live?
Every build includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and questions. Because we extend the standard form renderer rather than fork core, the layer is designed to survive Odoo upgrades; version migrations and enhancements beyond the support window are quoted separately when you need them.
Is the validation actually enforced, or just cosmetic?
Both layers are real. Client-side validation gives users live, inline feedback, but the authoritative rules are implemented in Python via compute methods, `@api.onchange` and `@api.constrains` and re-enforced at write time — so a submission can't bypass the rules even through a crafted RPC request.
Will it break when I upgrade Odoo or install other apps?
We package a clean module with its own `__manifest__.py`, assets bundles and QWeb templates, extend rather than replace core behavior, and respect `ir.model.access.csv` and record rules. That minimizes upgrade friction and conflicts, and we hand over a git repo so future changes are traceable.
Do I own the code?
Yes. You receive the full installable source for your version plus a git repository handover with complete commit history, so your team or another provider can maintain and extend it.
