Support User

Hi,
Is the chat module ready for use, or is it still under development?
If it’s available, is there any documentation or example setup I could refer to?

Thanks in advance!

It has been added to 7.6 series as experimental. See: Chat functionnality on resources - #17 by ced for the full details

No, it’s not documented, to activate it, inherit from the mixin in the model where you want to enable its functionality. For example, in the Party model:

from trytond.pool import PoolMeta
from trytond.model import ChatMixin

class Party(ChatMixin, metaclass=PoolMeta):
    __name__ = 'party.party'

Many features are still missing but you can already use it if you want but we do not guarantee that the API will stay compatible when it will be no more experimental.
So I would say please test it, report issues but do not rely heavily on it for any real business cases.
