Geminate comes with the advanced feature of "Multiple Odoo
Instances" connection with "Single Vue Storefront" which
provides a lot of flexibility and saves a lot of server cost and
maintenance effort as we dont need to maintain multiple vue
storefront instances for multiple odoo servers. so no more one to
one connection between single odoo and single vue storefront,
enjoy power of multiple odoo with single vue storefront with
Geminate Connector
Why Odoo?
● Odoo is unusual among eCommerce integration options
in that it offers ERP, eCommerce, and CMS functionality
without the need for extra software. Odoo is a suite of
open-source business software that addresses all of a
company's needs, according to its official website: CRM,

2. eCommerce, accounting, inventory, point of sale, project
management, and so on. Overall, Odoo's distinct value
proposition is that it is both simple to use and
completely integrated.
Why Vue Storefront?
● Vue Storefront provides a user experience that is similar
to that of a native mobile app:
● A look and feel that is consistent with the platform's
native appearance and feel, which means:
1. On the home screen, there is an app icon.
2. The app can operate in full-screen mode.
● Because the app caches layouts and content, loading
times are reduced after the Service Workers are
installed. The mobile app strives to respond to user
input as quickly as possible, avoiding the use of the
internet as much as feasible.
● Push notifications can be used to re-engage users.
● Vue Storefront eliminates the hassle of maintaining
multiple native development projects — for example,

3. one for Android and one for iOS – by providing a single
platform that reduces development expenses.
Furthermore, by allowing Server-Side Rendering for the
first webpage load, we can emphasize the importance of
SEO in the eCommerce market and provide a solution
that can be crawled by search engines.
Changing Vue Storefront's default architecture
● Vue Storefront's architecture incorporates a
NoSQL/ElasticSearch database backend by default.
However, the recommended architecture for this project
eliminates the Elastic Search data store in favor of
directly integrating the front-end with the Odoo
back-end to prevent the maintenance of two different
data stores. As a result, the new architecture is built on
the idea that the front-end should be able to crawl the
Odoo back-end API directly, as shown in the picture
below.

4. ●
● The magnificence known as SearchAdapter is a
client-facet code that's accountable for retrieving the
subsequent information from the back-end:
● Product
● Attribute
● Category
● Tax rule

5. ●
● As a result, this elegance is accountable of loading the
product list that looks on the house display and class
pages, now no longer handiest while the consumer
makes a search. While the default SearchAdapter
supplied through Vue Storefront retrieves statistics from

6. the ElasticSearch back-cease, this venture makes use of
a RESTful API the use of JSON layout as back-end.
● Changes that should be completed to be able to obtain
an operating verbal exchange among the front-end and
the Odoo back-end are avaliable in this repo:
Odoo Module
● The API improvement of this assignment is packaged as
an Odoo module, which consists of the subsequent
elements:
● Controllers
● Business objects
● Data files

7. ● Static web data
Controllers
● They are declared as Python training that copes with
requests with the aid of using extending the Controller
magnificence from odoo.http package. In the case of
this project, there are 3 Controllers:
● PublicAPIController
Handles requests which do now no longer use person
authentication.

8. Examples: retrieve products, signal up, etc.
PrivateAPIController
● Handles requests which could use consumer
authentication (it is able to both be required or optional).
Examples: upload product to cart, edit profile, etc.
TokenAPIController
● Handles requests approximately producing or
invalidating authentication tokens. It gets the credentials
of the user – electronic mail and password – after which
returns the computed token.
Business objects
● They are declared as Python training extending Model
elegance from odoo.fashions package deal which
integrates them into the automatic patience system
(database). In the case of this project:
● AccessToken is a brand new version created to
encapsulate the attributes of every authentication token,
which includes its lifetime and the associated user.

9. ● User version has been explicitly created with the
intention to increase the present User version to feature
the associated identity tokens.
Data files
● In the case of this project, it is composed in an XML
record affirming configuration data (module
parameterization). It is named "ir_config_param.xml"
inner the "data" folder and consists of a parameter,
that's the wide variety of seconds of life of the
authentication token.
Static web data
● They are static assets, which include images, CSS
documents or JavaScript documents that may be
utilized by the internet interface or Odoo website. In the
case of this project, they may be placed interior the
"static" folder, which incorporates the "description"
assets, which can be used to show the module inside
the Odoo management panel.
Installation of the Odoo module

10. ● odoo-addons - modules you need for Odoo;
● packages/api-client - communicates with a backend;
● packages/composables - exposes composable
functions used to retrieve data using api-client and to
map them to universal data formats using getters;
● packages/theme - nuxt project that glues everything
together. It extends our core theme and uses
composables to retrieve data.
Installation of Vue Storefront
● Note that the Odoo module just includes the needed
API.:
● Remember to set useExactUrlsNoProxy to true, if you
are not using ImageMagick or similar.In order to set up a
production environment, it is recommended to follow
this instruction. Otherwise, in case you are just
developing, just run yarn in order to install the
dependencies and then yarn dev in order to compile and
run the front-end in your browser.
