Laravel Odoo

Laravel client for the Odoo 19+ External JSON-2 API, with per-model resources for partners, products, invoices and more.

Odoo 19 introduced the External JSON-2 API: plain HTTPS, a bearer API key and one POST /json/2/{model}/{method} call per ORM method. The legacy /xmlrpc and /jsonrpc endpoints are being removed (Odoo Online 21.1, Odoo 22 on-premise), so this package speaks JSON-2 only.

It is built on Laravel's HTTP client, so Http::fake() works, and it ships an Odoo::fake() for tests that never touch the network. Records come back as plain arrays: Odoo's field set is instance-specific, and creating or changing records stays an explicit call.

Requirements

• PHP 8.3+
• Laravel 12 or 13
• Odoo 19 or 20 (Online or on-premise) with an API key. Odoo 18 and older only speak the deprecated XML-RPC and JSON-RPC APIs and are not supported.

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require marshmallow/laravel-odoo

Add the instance to your .env:

ODOO_URL=https://company.odoo.com
ODOO_API_KEY=your-api-key

Then check the connection:

php artisan odoo:doctor

Publishing the config is optional:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="odoo-config"

API keys

Generate one under Preferences > Account Security > API Keys in Odoo, for the user the integration should act as. The key carries that user's access rights, so give it an integration user with only the apps it needs. ODOO_DATABASE is only required when one server hosts several databases without a host-based dbfilter.

Getting started

use Marshmallow\Odoo\Facades\Odoo;

$partners = Odoo::partners()->searchRead(
    [['is_company', '=', true]],
    ['name', 'email', 'vat'],
    limit: 50,
);

$id = Odoo::partners()->create([
    'name' => 'Acme BV',
    'email' => 'finance@acme.example',
    'is_company' => true,
]);

Odoo::partners()->update($id, ['phone' => '+31 20 123 4567']);

$partner = Odoo::partners()->find($id, ['name', 'phone']);

Resources

Every resource is a thin gateway to one Odoo model:

All resources share the same methods:

$resource = Odoo::model('crm.lead');

$resource->find(int $id, array $fields = [], bool $loadNames = true): array;   // throws MissingRecordException
$resource->get(array $ids, array $fields = [], bool $loadNames = true): array;
$resource->displayNames(array $ids): array;                         // [id => display_name]
$resource->exists(int $id): bool;
$resource->search(Domain|array $domain = [], ?int $limit = null, int $offset = 0, ?string $order = null): array; // ids
$resource->searchRead(Domain|array $domain = [], array $fields = [], ?int $limit = null, int $offset = 0, ?string $order = null): array;
$resource->collect(Domain|array $domain = [], array $fields = [], ?int $limit = null, int $offset = 0, ?string $order = null): Collection;
$resource->first(Domain|array $domain = [], array $fields = [], ?string $order = null): ?array;
$resource->searchCount(Domain|array $domain = []): int;
$resource->chunk(int $size, Closure $callback, Domain|array $domain = [], array $fields = [], ?string $order = null): bool;
$resource->lazy(Domain|array $domain = [], array $fields = [], int $chunkSize = 100, ?string $order = null): LazyCollection;
$resource->readGroup(Domain|array $domain, array $groupBy, array $aggregates = ['__count'], array $having = [], ?int $limit = null, int $offset = 0, ?string $order = null): array;
$resource->nameSearch(string $name, Domain|array $domain = [], ?int $limit = null, string $operator = 'ilike'): array; // [id => name]
$resource->create(array $values): int;
$resource->createMany(array $valuesList): array;                    // ids
$resource->update(int|array $ids, array $values): bool;             // write
$resource->delete(int|array $ids): bool;                            // unlink
$resource->archive(int|array $ids): bool;                           // action_archive
$resource->unarchive(int|array $ids): bool;                         // action_unarchive
$resource->hasAccess(string $operation, array $ids = []): bool;     // has_access: read, write, create, unlink
$resource->fields(array $attributes = []): array;                   // fields_get
$resource->call(string $method, array $params = [], array $ids = []): mixed;

Many2one fields come back as [id, display_name] pairs. Pass loadNames: false to find() or get() to receive plain ids instead.

Large result sets page through chunk() (return false from the callback to stop) or lazy(), both ordered by id unless you pass an order:

use Marshmallow\Odoo\Resources\Invoices;

Odoo::partners()->chunk(500, function (array $partners, int $page) {
    // ...
});

foreach (Odoo::invoices()->lazy(Invoices::customerInvoices(), ['name', 'amount_total']) as $invoice) {
    // ...
}

Group and aggregate with readGroup() (Odoo's formatted_read_group). Group keys accept a granularity such as invoice_date:month; aggregates are field:sum|avg|min|max|count|count_distinct|array_agg or __count:

Odoo::invoices()->readGroup(Invoices::customerInvoices(), ['partner_id'], ['amount_total:sum', '__count'], order: 'amount_total:sum desc');

Anything the resource does not cover goes through call(), with Odoo's own parameter names:

Odoo::invoices()->call('action_post', ids: [$invoiceId]);
Odoo::partners()->call('name_search', ['name' => 'acme', 'limit' => 5]);

Send a context (language, company, timezone) with every call of a resource. The shortcuts return a copy, so keep the result:

$dutch = Odoo::products()->withLang('nl_NL');   // withContext(['lang' => 'nl_NL'])

$dutch->find($id, ['name', 'description_sale']);

Odoo::invoices()->withCompany(2)->create([...]);            // company_id + allowed_company_ids
Odoo::partners()->withTimezone('Europe/Amsterdam');
Odoo::partners()->withContext(['default_customer_rank' => 1]);

A default context for every call (language, timezone, company) lives in config('odoo.context'), fed by ODOO_LANG, ODOO_TIMEZONE and ODOO_COMPANY_ID. A per-call context wins over the defaults. On multi-company databases Odoo takes the active company from allowed_company_ids, so the default company sets that key as well.

Odoo hides archived records from searches by default. To include them (when matching against historical data, for instance), use withArchived(), which turns active_test off:

foreach (Odoo::partners()->withArchived()->lazy([], ['id', 'email', 'ref', 'active']) as $partner) {
    // ...
}

Field names differ per Odoo version and per installed app. When in doubt, ask the instance instead of guessing:

Odoo::partners()->fields(['type', 'string', 'required']);

Invoices

Creating and confirming an invoice are two transactions in Odoo. Store the id right after create(), then post it; if posting fails the invoice still exists as a draft and the call can be retried.

use Marshmallow\Odoo\Resources\Invoices;
use Marshmallow\Odoo\Support\Commands;

$invoiceId = Odoo::invoices()->create([
    'move_type' => 'out_invoice',
    'partner_id' => $partnerId,
    'invoice_line_ids' => [
        Commands::create(['product_id' => $productId, 'quantity' => 2, 'price_unit' => 19.95, 'tax_ids' => Commands::set([$taxId])]),
    ],
]);

Odoo::invoices()->post($invoiceId);

Odoo::invoices()->paymentState($invoiceId); // not_paid, in_payment, paid, partial, reversed

$open = Odoo::invoices()->searchRead(
    Invoices::customerInvoices()->where('payment_state', 'not_paid'),
    ['name', 'amount_residual'],
);

Relations

One2many and many2many values are written with Odoo's command tuples. Marshmallow\Odoo\Support\Commands builds them:

Odoo::products()->update($productId, ['taxes_id' => Commands::set([$taxId])]);

Domains

Domains can be passed as raw Odoo arrays or built with Marshmallow\Odoo\Support\Domain. Terms added with where*() are ANDed; orWhere() ORs everything before it with the new term, the same precedence as Laravel's query builder. The builder emits Odoo's prefix notation.

use Marshmallow\Odoo\Support\Domain;

$domain = Domain::make()
    ->where('is_company', true)
    ->where('country_id.code', '=', 'NL')
    ->whereIn('id', [1, 2, 3])
    ->whereNotNull('email')
    ->whereILike('name', 'acme')
    ->orWhere('ref', 'ACME');

$domain->toArray();
// ['|', '&', '&', '&', '&', ['is_company', '=', true], ['country_id.code', '=', 'NL'], ['id', 'in', [1, 2, 3]], ['email', '!=', false], ['name', 'ilike', 'acme'], ['ref', '=', 'ACME']]

Closures nest a group as one operand, like Laravel's query builder:

Domain::make()
    ->where('is_company', true)
    ->where(fn (Domain $d) => $d->where('country_id.code', 'NL')->orWhere('country_id.code', 'BE'))
    ->whereNot(fn (Domain $d) => $d->whereNull('email'))
    ->whereBetween('create_date', '2026-01-01', '2026-12-31');

Also available: whereNotIn(), whereNull(), whereLike(), whereNotBetween(), whereChildOf() and whereParentOf() for hierarchies, whereDomain() and orWhereDomain() to nest a whole domain as one operand, and Domain::fromArray() to wrap raw terms.

The client

Odoo::api() returns the low-level Marshmallow\Odoo\Contracts\Client, for calls that do not belong to a model:

Odoo::api()->call('res.partner', 'search_read', ['domain' => [], 'fields' => ['name'], 'limit' => 10]);
Odoo::api()->version();     // GET /web/version, raw payload
Odoo::api()->versionLabel(); // "19.0+e"
Odoo::api()->majorVersion(); // 19
Odoo::api()->contextGet();  // uid, lang, tz of the API key user
Odoo::enabled();            // config('odoo.enabled')

Every request carries the bearer key, a User-Agent, and X-Odoo-Database when configured. Connection failures and 5xx responses without an Odoo error body (a 502/503 from the proxy) are retried (odoo.retry). Anything Odoo itself answered, including a 500 with an error name such as builtins.ValueError, is deterministic and never retried: every JSON-2 call is its own transaction and the same request will fail the same way.

Every call is its own SQL transaction on the Odoo side: committed when the method returns, rolled back when it raises. There is no way to batch several calls into one transaction, so prefer a single call that does the whole job (search_read over search plus read, an action_* method, or a custom method in an Odoo module) when partial failure would leave inconsistent data.

To log or inspect traffic, listen to Laravel's Illuminate\Http\Client\Events\RequestSending and ResponseReceived events; the package adds no logging of its own.

Errors

All exceptions extend Marshmallow\Odoo\Exceptions\OdooException. The subclass is picked from Odoo's error name first and the HTTP status second, and the full error body stays on the exception.

use Marshmallow\Odoo\Exceptions\ValidationException;

try {
    Odoo::partners()->create(['email' => 'not-an-email']);
} catch (ValidationException $exception) {
    $exception->getMessage();  // Odoo's message
    $exception->odooName();    // odoo.exceptions.ValidationError
    $exception->arguments();   // Odoo's arguments list
    $exception->debug();       // server traceback, when Odoo sends one
    $exception->payload;       // the full decoded error body
    $exception->response;      // the Illuminate HTTP response
}

Configuration

Full documentation lives in the published config/odoo.php.

Artisan commands

Testing your own application

Odoo::fake() swaps the client for an in-memory one. Responses are scripted per model/method; every call is recorded for assertions and nothing reaches the network.

use Marshmallow\Odoo\Facades\Odoo;
use Marshmallow\Odoo\Testing\RecordedCall;

$odoo = Odoo::fake([
    'res.partner/search_read' => [['id' => 7, 'name' => 'Acme']],
    'res.partner/create' => [8],
]);

// ... run the code under test ...

$odoo->assertCalled('res.partner', 'create', fn (RecordedCall $call): bool => $call->params['vals_list'][0]['name'] === 'Acme');
$odoo->assertCalledTimes('res.partner', 'search_read', 1);
$odoo->assertNotCalled('res.partner', 'unlink');
$odoo->assertNothingCalled();

A closure response receives the RecordedCall (model, method, params, ids) so it can answer dynamically, and respond() adds responses after the fake was created:

$odoo->respond('res.partner', 'read', fn (RecordedCall $call): array => array_map(
    fn (int $id): array => ['id' => $id, 'name' => "Partner {$id}"],
    $call->ids,
));

A call without a scripted response throws, so a test cannot silently pass on an empty answer. version() and contextGet() have defaults (Odoo 19, uid 1) and can be overridden under the keys web/version (version, version_info) and res.users/context_get.

Prefer Http::fake() when you want to test the wire format itself. URLs follow {ODOO_URL}/json/2/{model}/{method}:

Http::fake([
    'company.odoo.com/json/2/res.partner/search_read' => Http::response([['id' => 7, 'name' => 'Acme']]),
    'company.odoo.com/json/2/*' => Http::response(['name' => 'odoo.exceptions.AccessError', 'message' => 'No access'], 403),
]);

Extending

Add a resource for a model your project uses a lot. Extend Resource, set the model, and register the accessor in config or as a macro:

namespace App\Odoo;

use Marshmallow\Odoo\Resources\Resource;

class Leads extends Resource
{
    protected string $model = 'crm.lead';

    public function won(): array
    {
        return $this->searchRead([['stage_id.is_won', '=', true]], ['name', 'partner_id']);
    }
}

// config/odoo.php
'resources' => [
    'leads' => App\Odoo\Leads::class,
],

Odoo::leads()->won();

// or, without touching the config:
Odoo::macro('leads', fn () => new App\Odoo\Leads($this->api()));

Custom resources work under Odoo::fake() as well.

Testing

composer test

That runs PHPStan, Pint, a 100% type coverage check and the Pest suite. Individual steps are available as composer analyse, composer lint:check, composer test:types and composer test:unit.
