[RFC] marketplaces connector module
by
xavier
Hello
We are working on a little maketplaces connector for small companies. It
connects Odoo with a feed provider which will transform data to export towards
marketplaces, prices comparators, etc. Everything is done with CSV files
export-import because a lot of feed provider, specially small ones, work like
this.
It was previously discussed in Roadmap Odoo 13 for retail industry :
https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/28179#issuecomment-462323744
(and next comments).
First step is to have something working with Iziflux, a little french feed
provider. But... How does field mapping should be build ?
I ask because looking at OCA/connector-lengow (Lengow is a big feed provider),
a lot of code is not Lengow related, but field mapping is hard-coded in a file.
It's a pity.
I don't care if first step use hard-coded mapping. But later I would like to
have something as generic as possible because all feed providers use nearly
the same data and thus the connector should be easily adaptable.
Should we use a form ?
or simply a CSV to put in the module directory ?
or hard coding is good ?
or something else ?
(please CC me)
