Hi

I have two views and in first view binding table data and I want to navigate selected row data to a second view. Here we are using the Global JSON Model Declared in the manifest.json file.

Step – 1:

First, we need to login to SAP Cloud Platform by entering the credentials. After login, I have created a  project in SAP Web IDE. Here I’m creating a project with a project name “navigationjson” which is shown below the workspace.



Step – 2: webapp/model/Object.json

Now we need to create JSON  file in order to bind our data to the view. the JSON file code like as below.
{
"Objects": [{
"Name": "Alice Mutton",
"Supplier": "Exotic Liquids",
"Price": "75.00 EUR",
"Units": "20 PC"

}, {
"Name": "Aniseed Syrup",
"Supplier": "Grandma Kelly's Homestead",
"Price": "3.00 EUR",
"Units": "6 PC "
}, {
"Name": "Chang",
"Supplier": "New Orleans Cajun Delights",
"Price": "56.00 EUR",
"Units": "40 PC"
}

]
}

Step – 3:  webapp/view/View1.view.XML

Now in View1.view.XML  I have defined a table and going to bind the above JSON data to that table.

The code goes as follows:
<mvc:View controllerName="navigationjson.controller.View1" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc"
xmlns="sap.m">
<App id="app">
<pages>
<Page title="Tableview">
<content>
<Table class="sapUiSizeCompact" id="table1" includeItemInSelection="true" items="{path: 'DataModel>/Objects'}" mode="MultiSelect"
selectionChange="onselectionChange">
<columns>
<Column>
<Label text="Product Name"/>
</Column>
<Column>
<Label text="Supplier"/>
</Column>
<Column>
<Label text="Price"/>
</Column>
<Column>
<Label text="Units Ordered"/>
</Column>
</columns>
<ColumnListItem press="onPress" type="Navigation">
<Text text="{DataModel>Name}"></Text>
<Text text="{DataModel>Supplier}"></Text>
<Text text="{DataModel>Price}"></Text>
<Text text="{DataModel>Units}"></Text>
</ColumnListItem>
</Table>
</content>
</Page>
</pages>
</App>
</mvc:View>

Step – 4:  webapp/manifest.json

Then define the router class and routes under sap.ui5, declare the JSON model under the Model like as "TableData". then declare its alias name under the datasources  like "tableData_alias"
{
"_version": "1.1.0",
"sap.app": {
"_version": "1.1.0",
"id": "navigationjson",
"type": "application",
"i18n": "i18n/i18n.properties",
"applicationVersion": {
"version": "1.0.0"
},
"title": "{{appTitle}}",
"description": "{{appDescription}}",
"sourceTemplate": {
"id": "ui5template.basicSAPUI5ApplicationProject",
"version": "1.32.0"
},

"dataSources": {
"tableData_alias": {
"uri": "model/Object.json",
"type": "JSON"
}
}
},
"sap.ui": {
"_version": "1.1.0",
"technology": "UI5",
"icons": {
"icon": "",
"favIcon": "",
"phone": "",
"phone@2": "",
"tablet": "",
"tablet@2": ""
},
"deviceTypes": {
"desktop": true,
"tablet": true,
"phone": true
},
"supportedThemes": ["sap_hcb", "sap_bluecrystal"]
},
"sap.ui5": {
"_version": "1.1.0",
"rootView": {
"viewName": "navigationjson.view.View1",
"type": "XML"
},
"dependencies": {
"minUI5Version": "1.30.0",
"libs": {
"sap.ui.core": {},
"sap.m": {},
"sap.ui.layout": {}
}
},
"routing": {
"config": {
"routerClass": "sap.m.routing.Router",
"viewType": "XML",
"viewPath": "navigationjson.view",
"controlId": "app",
"controlAggregation": "pages"

},
"routes": [{
"pattern": "",
"name": "View1",
"view": "View1",
"controlAggregation": "pages"
},

{

"pattern": "View2/{selectedobj}",
"name": "View2",
"target": "View2",
"controlAggregation": "pages"
}
],
"targets": {
"View1": {
"viewName": "View1"

},
"View2": {
"viewName": "View2"

}
}

},

"contentDensities": {
"compact": true,
"cozy": true
},
"models": {
"i18n": {
"type": "sap.ui.model.resource.ResourceModel",
"settings": {
"bundleName": "navigationjson.i18n.i18n"
}
},
"tableData": {
"type": "sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel",
"dataSource": "tableData_alias"
}
},
"resources": {
"css": [{
"uri": "css/style.css"
}]
}
}
}

This below code  snippet is for declaring the JSON model added in the manifest.json file shown in above.
	"tableData": {
"type": "sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel",
"dataSource": "tableData_alias"
}

Here we are declaring path of JSON Model added in the manifest.json file shown in above.
	"dataSources": {
"tableData_alias": {
"uri": "model/Object.json",
"type": "JSON"
}
}

Step – 5: 

First, we need to initialize router in component.js 
sap.ui.define([
"sap/ui/core/UIComponent",
"sap/ui/Device",
"navigationjson/model/models",
"sap/ui/model/json/JSONModel"

], function(UIComponent, Device, models,JSONModel) {
"use strict";

return UIComponent.extend("navigationjson.Component", {

metadata: {
manifest: "json"
},

/**
* The component is initialized by UI5 automatically during the startup of the app and calls the init method once.
* @public
* @override
*/
init: function() {
// call the base component's init function
UIComponent.prototype.init.apply(this, arguments);
/***Create the model and load data from the local JSON file ***/
// var oModel = new JSONModel("./model/Object.json");
// oModel.setDefaultBindingMode("OneWay");

// set the device model
this.setModel(models.createDeviceModel(), "device");
this.getRouter().initialize();
}
});

});

 

Create Device Model for the app:  webapp/model/model.js

Here, we need to create device model for the application
sap.ui.define([
"sap/ui/model/json/JSONModel",
"sap/ui/Device"
], function(JSONModel, Device) {
"use strict";

return {

createDeviceModel: function() {
var oModel = new JSONModel(Device);
oModel.setDefaultBindingMode("OneWay");
return oModel;
}

};
});

 

Step – 6:  webapp/controller/View1.controller.js

Here, we need to get the Global JSON Model from the manifest.json file. The code like as below.
sap.ui.define([
"sap/ui/core/mvc/Controller"

], function(Controller) {
"use strict";

return Controller.extend("navigationjson.controller.View1", {
onInit: function() {
/*this below code for get the JSON Model form Manifest.json file*/
var dataModel = this.getOwnerComponent().getModel("tableData");
this.getView().setModel(dataModel, "DataModel");

},
/*this below code for cilck on row the the page will navgate to next View*/
onPress: function(oEvent) {
var spath = oEvent.getSource().getBindingContext("DataModel").getPath();
var selectedPath = JSON.stringify(oEvent.getSource().getBindingContext("DataModel").getProperty(spath));
var oRouter = sap.ui.core.UIComponent.getRouterFor(this);
oRouter.navTo("View2", {
"selectedobj": selectedPath
});
},
/*this below code for selected the row data and then navigate to next View */
onselectionChange: function() {
var contexts = this.getView().byId("table1").getSelectedContexts();
var items = contexts.map(function(c) {
return c.getObject();
});
var selectedItems = JSON.stringify(items);
var oRouter = sap.ui.core.UIComponent.getRouterFor(this);
oRouter.navTo("View2", {
"selectedobj": selectedItems
});

}
});

});

Step – 7:

the View1 output like as below.



 

Step – 8: webapp/view/View2.view.XML

Now we are going to perform Navigate selected row data for the above output. So, I have created another view View2.view.xml as shown below.
<mvc:View controllerName="navigationjson.controller.View2" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc"
xmlns="sap.m">
<App id="app">
<pages>
<Page navButtonPress="onNavBack" showNavButton="true" title="Tableview2">
<content>
<Table class="sapUiSizeCompact" id="abc" items="{path: 'navigationModel>/Objects'}">
<columns>
<Column width="11rem">
<Label text="Product Name"/>
</Column>
<Column width="11rem">
<Label text="Supplier"/>
</Column>
<Column hAlign="End" width="6rem">
<Label text="Price"/>
</Column>
<Column hAlign="End" width="15rem">
<Label text="Units Ordered"/>
</Column>
</columns>
<ColumnListItem press="onPress" type="Navigation">
<Text text="{navigationModel>Name}"></Text>
<Text text="{navigationModel>Supplier}"></Text>
<Text text="{navigationModel>Price}"></Text>
<Text text="{navigationModel>Units}"></Text>
</ColumnListItem>
</Table>
</content>
</Page>
</pages>
</App>
</mvc:View>

 

Step – 9:  webapp/controller/View2.controller.js

Now we are writing code for second view controller View2.controller.js as shown below.
sap.ui.define([
"sap/ui/core/mvc/Controller",
"sap/ui/model/json/JSONModel"
], function(Controller, JSONModel) {
"use strict";

return Controller.extend("navigationjson.controller.View2", {
onInit: function() {
var oRouter = sap.ui.core.UIComponent.getRouterFor(this);
oRouter.getRoute("View2").attachMatched(this._onObjectMatched, this);
},
_onObjectMatched: function(oEvent) {
var selectedArguments = oEvent.getParameter("arguments");
var selectedRecord = JSON.parse(selectedArguments.selectedobj);

var obj = {
"Objects": selectedRecord
};
var navigationobjModel = new JSONModel();
navigationobjModel.setData(obj);
this.getView().setModel(navigationobjModel, "navigationModel");
},
onNavBack: function() {
window.history.go(-1);
}

});

});

Step – 10:Final output looks like below:





 

Have a nice Day!

Hi Seyed Ismail,

Thanks for notifying me. here is the piece of code, you can replace with existing models.js
sap.ui.define([
"sap/ui/model/json/JSONModel",
"sap/ui/Device"
], function(JSONModel, Device) {
"use strict";

return {

createDeviceModel: function() {
var oModel = new JSONModel(Device);
oModel.setDefaultBindingMode("OneWay");
return oModel;
}

};
});

As well as I have updated the blog information.

you put all the data in the url.

usually you won't do it in real life.

Hi Upender,

I am new to sapui5. I am also trying to load a JSON Model from Manifest file and send JSON object as a parameter through Routing and Navigation.

I have only one view and in that i am trying to bind data in a simple form. I have followed  steps mentioned above but i am getting one error :

“View1.controller.js?eval:8 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property ‘getModel’ of undefined”

Kindly help me in resolving the error.

Hi Parag

In the View1.xml:

 

you are using the wrong model, change the binding path of model to DataModel.

like <Input value=”DataModel>/Form/0/first” />

 

Thanks,

Hello Upender,

we are using manifest to load i18n properties model, which is used in views and also in one of the controller. In controller we are creating i18n model as below,
var oMessageBundleModel = new sap.ui.model.resource.ResourceModel({
bundleName : "Sample.i18n.i18n"
});
this.getView().setModel(oMessageBundleModel, "i18n");

But what i observed is i18n properties file is loaded thrice, chrome developer tools network tab shows 3 calls to i18n properties file.

Any idea how to avoid this redundant calls ?
