Hello Experts,

I have a requirement to create dynamic table based on inputs from predecessor view...

sap.m.table is an alternative but i would like to try with Smarttable...

Hi hari_105

Smarttable will only work with predefined odata entityset(fixed structure) and with annotations.

It will not work with dynamic structure, so better to go with m.table or ui.table.table.

or I am missing something and would you like to provide more information to your requirement for better solution?

Hi Mahesh,

Parent entity set : /ParentEntityset - Data binded directly

Child entity set: /ChildEntity - Data binded with URL - /Child('1')/Details

How to bind child data to smart table.

Hi, hari_105

You can use the class sap.ui.comp.smarttable.SmartTable(id?, settings?)

Something like this:

const smartTable = new sap.ui.comp.smarttable.SmartTable(
  ('smartTable-id'),
  {
      entitySet: 'yourEntity',
      width: '100%',
      enableAutoBinding: true,
      tableType: 'ResponsiveTable',
      useExportToExcel: false,
      showFullScreenButton: true,
      useTablePersonalisation: false
  }
);

Here is the documentation where you can find all properties, methods, events...

Hope it helped.
