Improving onboarding with tours

After developing a large application, it is crucial to explain software flows to the end users. The Odoo framework includes a built-in tour manager. With this tour manager, you can guide an end user through learning specific flows. In this recipe, we will create a tour so that we can create a book in the library.

Getting ready

We will be using the my_library module from the previous recipe. Tours are only displayed in the database without demo data, so if you are using a database with demo data, create a new database without demo data for this recipe.

How to do it...

To add a tour to a library, perform the following steps:

1. Add a new /static/src/js/my_library_tour.js file with the following code:

   odoo.define('my_library.tour', function (require) {
   "use strict";
   var core = require('web.core');
   var tour = require('web_tour.tour');
   var _t = core._t;
   tour.register('library_tour', {
