Here's how you can use the '@api.model' decorator in Odoo. This approach is ideal for methods that perform actions at the model level, rather than on specific records.
@api.model This decorator is used for methods that do not depend on any specific record. It means the method can be called without needing a particular recordset and operates in the context of the model, rather than on individual records.
from odoo import models, api
class CustomModel(models.Model):
_name = 'custom.model'
@api.model
def my_model_method(self):
# code that does not rely on a particular record
return "This method can be called without records"
