Connector

This is a framework designed to build connectors with external systems, usually called Backends in the documentation.

Documentation: http://odoo-connector.com

It features:

• A jobs queue

  In which the connectors can push functions (synchronization tasks) to be executed later.

• An event pattern

  The connectors can subscribe listener functions on the events, executed when the events are fired.

• Connector base classes

  Called ConnectorUnit.

  Include base classes for the use in connectors, ready to be extended:

  • Synchronizer: flow of an import or export
  • Mapper: transform a record according to mapping rules
  • Binder: link external IDs with local IDS
  • BackendAdapter: adapter interface for the exchanges with the backend
  • But ConnectorUnit can be extended to accomplish any task

• A multi-backend support

  Each ConnectorUnit can be registered amongst a backend type (eg. Magento) and a backend version (allow to have a different Mapper for each backend's version for instance)

It is used for example used to connect Magento and Prestashop, but also used with Solr, CMIS, ...
