A starter template to create owl projects using bun. This is only a toy (around 300 loc), not production ready!

To create a new project:

bun create ged-odoo/owl-project-template [destination]
cd [destination]
bun dev # to start a dev server

The following scripts are available:

• bun start: build all static assets in dist/ and start a server in production mode
• bun dev to start a dev server, loading all static assets in memory from public/ (and with dev mode, autoreload and file watcher)
• bun run build to build all static assets into dist/ folder

This project template provides the following features:

• starting point for an owl application
• all templates are collected from src and injected into the page
• autoreload (in dev mode)

• main.js is the main entry point. It checks for dev mode, and start the server accordingly
• core/ is meant to contain the code that organize the application (so, a framework). This means:
  • managing assets
  • a simple autoreload feature
  • a basic http server
• public/ is the location for the owl application code (the browser code). Note that all xml files will be
  injected intothe main page (look at page source)
  • public/app.html is the main page that will serve as index page.
  • public/app.js is the main entry point for the owl application

The server located in core has the following routes:

• for route /, it reads public/app.html and inject templates, and autoreload code (in dev mode)
• for route /app.js, it bundles all code in public/ using app.js as the entry point
• for route /owl.js, it returns the owl file from node_modules
• other files are statically served from public/ (in dev mode) or dist/ (in prod mode)

Here is the list of supported keys in app_config key in package.json:

• port: the port that the server will listen to
• public_path: the (relative) folder containing all the static code for the application
• build_path: the (relative) folder that will be used as target for the build process
• other_static_files: a description of all additional static files available to the server. For example:

  {
    "other_static_files": {
      "milligram.css": "node_modules/milligram/dist/milligram.css"
    }
  }

• inline_css (default: false): if true, all css files in public_path will be concatenated and injected in html page. Otherwise, a <link href="app.css"/> will be injected instead, and the /app.css route will return the content of all css files
• inline_xml (default: false): same as the css, but for all xml files
