getText method of ResourceModel

[#1]

I see that the ResourceBundle is deprecated and is replaced by module:sap/base/i18n/ResourceBundle. When I use the latter one, I am not able to access the getText method to retrieve text from my i18n.properties file. PFA for the logs.

TIA

The module "sap/base/i18n/ResourceBundle" is available since 1.58. According to your screenshot, your application is running on 1.28, which is outdated and already out of maintenance.

Since it's a demo application, you can bootstrap the application with the latest stable version like this:

<script id="sap-ui-bootstrap" src="https://ui5.sap.com/resources/sap-ui-core.js"
  data-sap-ui-libs="..."
  data-sap-ui-async="true"
  data-sap-ui-theme="sap_belize"
  data-sap-ui-compatversion="edge"
  data-sap-ui-xx-waitfortheme="true"
></script>

The current stable version is at 1.58.x. With that, the module "sap/base/i18n/ResourceBundle" is available which you should define as one of the dependencies in the Controller:

sap.ui.define([
  // ...,
  "sap/base/i18n/ResourceBundle"
], function(/*...,*/ ResourceBundle) {
  "use strict";
  //...{
    ResourceBundle.create({
      url: sap.ui.require.toUrl("sap.ui.demo/i18n/i18n.properties"),
      async: true //<-- Please use always async. Default is false.
    }).then(function(bundle) {
      var message = bundle.getText("wishMeMsg", [sRecipient]);
      // ...
    }.bind(this));
  //}
});

Hi Meghana,

I'm not sure about the deprecation that you talked...

Anyway, try better this:

onInit: function() {           

          this.oBundle = this.getOwnerComponent().getModel('i18n').getResourceBundle();

}

wishMeNow: function() {           

      this.oBundle.getText("myText")
}

Additionally, ensure that you have defined it in Manifest.json

"models": {
	"i18n": {
	"type": "sap.ui.model.resource.ResourceModel",
	"settings": {
			"bundleName": "yourNameSpace.i18n.i18n"
		}
	},
}

Kind regards,
Jorge
