Implementing Route Setup in ERPNext via Script for Document Types and Pages

Frappe|Linux

In ERPNext, setting up routes via scripts for document types and PDFs enables seamless navigation and accessibility within the system. This approach streamlines processes and enhances user experience by automating the generation and organization of routes for various documents and their corresponding PDF files. By employing scripting capabilities, users can efficiently configure routes, ensuring smooth transitions between different stages of document processing.

So far, I have some ways to implement routing in Frappe. 😁

1. Using set_route for navigating to Document List view 📃

frappe.set_route(“List”, “<doctype-name>”);

Use filter on route.

frappe.route_options = {
    "<filed_name>": '<value>'
   };

2. Using frappe.new_doc for navigating to new document 📃

frappe.new_doc(“<doctype-name>”);

Pass the value in new document while creating.

 frappe.new_doc("<doctype-name>", {
     <field_name>: <value>, 
    })

3. Using set_route for navigating from page to specific document

frappe.set_route(‘Form’, ‘<doctype-name>’, <document_id);

4. Using frappe.urllib.get_full_url for routing desired URL for doctypes, pages, and PDFs

var url = frappe.urllib.get_full_url( “/app/<doctype-name>/” + encodeURIComponent(<document-name>) ); window.open(url, ‘_blank’)

var url = frappe.urllib.get_full_url("/api/method/<path to function>"+ "?label_reference=" + encodeURIComponent(<documnet_name>))

const route_url = frappe.utils.get_form_link('List', '<doctype name>');
   window.open(route_url, '_blank');
