AI-generated from the code · Odoo 13.0

Adds a 'boolean_button' widget for form views that displays a boolean field as a clickable status button with a label and hover text, similar to Odoo 12.0.

This module restores the boolean button widget that was available in Odoo 12.0. It is a technical/UI module that provides a new field widget called boolean_button for use in form views.

When a boolean field is displayed with this widget, it appears as a status indicator inside a stat button. The button shows a text label (e.g., 'Active' or 'Inactive') and changes to a hover text (e.g., 'Deactivate' or 'Activate') when the mouse is over it. The colors also change: green for true and red for false, with the hover color inverted.

The widget supports different terminologies that can be set in the field options: 'active', 'archive', 'close', or a custom terminology with specific strings for true/false and hover texts. If no terminology is provided, it defaults to 'On'/'Off' and 'Switch Off'/'Switch On'.

This widget is intended to be used inside a stat button and renders the same in both edit and read-only modes. It does not add any new menus, models, or business rules; it only enhances the user interface for boolean fields in forms. The module depends only on the web module and includes JavaScript files for the widget and its tests.
