I'm trying to extend the widget's init method to make a simple console.log when the page is loaded, but it doesn't work, what can be a correct way to do this?
odoo.define('lliege_pdt_main.pdt_maps', function (require) {
var Widget = require('web.Widget');
var pdt_maps = Widget.extend({
init: function (parent) {
console.log("test");
this._super(parent);
},
});
return pdt_maps;
});
In your case you do not want to inherit the widget in the classical sense. You want to modify the parent itself. This can be done with include instead of extend:
var pdt_maps = Widget.include({
init: function (parent) {
console.log("test");
this._super(parent);
},
});
Don't forget to debug in assets debug (gorilla) mode. Here is the official documentation on patching a JS class like this.
