<p>This module provides base classes and models to manage time windows through
<cite>time.window.mixin</cite>.</p>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">Usage</a></h2>
<p>Example implementation for the mixin can be found in module <cite>test_base_time_window</cite>.</p>
<p>As a time window will always be linked to a related model thourgh a M2o relation,
when defining the new model inheriting the mixin, one should pay attention to the
following points in order to have the overlapping check work properly:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Define class property <cite>_overlap_check_field</cite>: This must state the M2o field to
use for the to check of overlapping time window records linked to a specific
record of the related model.</li>
<li>Add the M2o field to the related model in the <cite>api.constrains</cite>:</li>
</ul>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre>
<code lang="python">class PartnerTimeWindow(models.Model):
_name = 'partner.time.window'
_inherit = 'time.window.mixin'
partner_id = fields.Many2one(
res.partner', required=True, index=True, ondelete='cascade'
)
_overlap_check_field = 'partner_id'
@api.constrains('partner_id')
def check_window_no_overlaps(self):
return super().check_window_no_overlaps()</code>

<ul>
<li><p class="first">Storing times using <cite>float_time</cite> widget requires extra processing to ensure
computations are done in the right timezone, because the value is not stored
as UTC in the database, and must therefore be related to a <cite>tz</cite> field.</p>
<p><cite>float_time</cite> in this sense should only be used for durations and not for a
"point in time" as this is always needs a Date for a timezone conversion to
be done properly. (Because a conversion from UTC to e.g. Europe/Brussels won't
give the same result in winter or summer because of Daylight Saving Time).</p>
<p>Therefore the right move would be to use a <cite>resource.calendar</cite> to define time
windows using Datetime with recurrences.</p>
