Application with SmartTable and JSONModel binding

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I'm trying to develop SAPUI5 application using smart table with the json model binding. While running the program I'm getting error I'm sharing that snapshot with you.I'm sharing my code, please suggest me to how to make this work.

And please say how to refer JSONModel data/entity set to the annotations.xml file

In view:

<smartTable:SmartTable 
        id="smartTable_ResponsiveTable"
        smartFilterId="smartFilterBar" 
        tableType="ResponsiveTable" 
        editable="false"
        entitySet="tableSet"
        useVariantManagement="false"
        useTablePersonalisation="false" 
        header="Products" 
        showRowCount="true"
        useExportToExcel="false" 
        enableAutoBinding="true"
        initiallyVisibleFields="name">
    </smartTable:SmartTable>

In Controller:

var array = [{
                "name" : "Dinesh",
                "id" : "123"
            },
            {
                "name" : "Nikhil",
                "id" : "456"
            },{
                "name" : "Pulkit",
                "id" : "789"
            }];
            var model = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
            model.setData({
                tableSet: array
            });
            this.getView().byId("smartTable_ResponsiveTable").setModel(model);
            });

I'm getting above error after running it. According to my knowledge smart table not able to get the data( that is entity set configuration issue). Please suggest me how to fix this and how to write annotations.xml file for JSONModel data

I don't think you can use the smart table with JSON model. My understanding is that smart tables are designed to work only with oData models as they generate columns and rows based on the metadata an annotations. Although it would be very useful to use the smart table with JSON model.

Hi Radek,

In the explored, they gave smart control sample applications with JSON file data by using metadata.xml(we can write annotations here) and mockserver.js. So like that is there any loop hole to use JSON model data?
