SAP UI5 - Views

Views are defined using SAP libraries as follows −

• XML with HTML, mixed, or Standalone: Library- sap.ui.core.mvc.XMLView
• JavaScript: Library- sap.ui.core.mvc.JSView
• JSON: Library - sap.ui.core.mvc.JSONView
• HTML: Library - sap.ui.core.mvc.HTMLView

JavaScript View Sample

Sap.ui.jsview(“sap.hcm.address”, {
   getControllerName: function() {
      return “sap.hcm.address”;
   },
   createContent: function(oController) {
      var oButton = new sap.ui.commons.Button({ text: “Hello” });
      oButton.attachPress(function() {
         oController.Hello();
      })
      Return oButton;
   }
});

HTML View Sample

<template data-controller-name = ”sap.hcm.address’>
   <h1>title</h1>
   <div> Embedded html </div>
   <div class = ”test” data-sap-ui-type = ”sap.ui.commons.Button”
      Id = ”Button1” data-text =  ”Hello” Data-press = ”sayHello”>
   </div>
</template>

Similarly, you can create JSON view derived from sap.ui.core.mvc.JsonView.

{
   “type”:”sap.ui.core.mvc.JsonView”,
   “controllerName”:”sap.hcm.address”,
   ……………………….
   …………………...
   …………………….
}
