  1. Right-click on a valid Odoo module directory in the VS Code explorer.
  2. Select Assista Odoo -> POS Components -> Extend Screen.
  3. Choose the target screen from the available POS Screen Templates.

System Automation ​

Upon selection, the plugin performs the following automated tasks:

  • File Generation: Creates a synchronized set of .js, .xml, and .scss files.
  • Boilerplate Injection: Injects ready-to-use sample content, such as functional buttons or container elements, into the selected screen.
  • Manifest Registration: Automatically adds the new files to the point_of_sale.assets bundle in __manifest__.py.
  • Dependency Resolution: Scans the __manifest__.py and adds 'point_of_sale' to the depends list if it is not already present.
