Dtg Base

A utility belt for Odoo 18 development that adds common helpers through an abstract model you can inherit from. Covers the boring stuff: date and period calculations, timezone conversions, EAN13 barcode generation, Vietnamese text processing (accent stripping), batch processing for large recordsets, and file zipping. Also includes an after_commit decorator for post-transaction operations. It's the kind of thing you'd build yourself over time anyway, just already done. Most useful if you're working in the DTG codebase or dealing with similar needs around localization, inventory barcodes, or time-sensitive data processing.

What is DTG Base?

DTG Base is a custom abstract model (dtg_base.DTGBase) that provides common utility methods for Odoo development. It's designed to be inherited by other models to gain access to helpful utilities.
