This page contains basic knowledge on how to start with SAPUI5 development on SAP HANA development stack and also how the SAPUI5 application looks like.
The repository for the examples can be found here: https://github.com/mattxdev/opensap-hana7
SAPUI5 App Structure
Dynamic odataView App
We create an app odataView. All of its files will be located inside
/web/resources/odataView/
Content:
Relative Path | File | Function |
---|---|---|
./ | index.html |
|
./ | Component.js |
|
./ | manifest.json |
Also called: Application descriptor Specifies:
|
./i18n/ | i18n_en.properties |
|
./view/ | App.view.xml |
Contains:
|
./view/ | MRead.fragment.xml |
Contains:
|
./view/ | MTableHead.fragment.xml |
|
./view/ | MTableItem.fragment.xml |
|
./controller/ | App.controller.js |
Contains methods:
sap.ui.define is used for asynchronous loading |
./controller/ | Base.controller.js |
Base controllers can contain functions and share them to multiple app controllers. |
./model/ | formatter.js, grouper.js, GroupSortState.js, models.js |
Model subdirectory contains reusable functions like formatters |
Basic OData App Skeleton from SAP
Source: https://github.com/SAP-samples/hana-xsa-opensap-hana7/blob/snippets_2.3.2/ex4/odataBasic.zip
The file contains all necessary subfolders and should be imported in your project into this module:
/web/resources
This will create a subfolder for the skeleton app named:
/web/resources/odataBasic
Tasks to be done in order to bind an OData service to the SmartTable defined wihtin the App.view in the skeleton app:
File | Section | Task |
---|---|---|
manifest.json | "sap.app" |
|
manifest.json | "models" |
|
controller/App.controller.js | onInit |
|
Text Bundles
Text bundles are best located in a subfolder of:
/web/resources/
Contents:
Relative Path | File | Function |
---|---|---|
./i18n/ | messagebundle.properties | Default language message bundle |
./i18n/ | messagebundle_de.properties | Language DE message bundle |
A language can be selected by changing browser language or adding the URL parameter sap-ui-langauge=DE_de to tue URL of your app.
Add code:
/* Language Resource Loader */
jQuery.sap.require("jquery.sap.resources");
var sLocale = sap.ui.getCore().getConfiguration().getLanguage();
var oBundle = jQuery.sap.resources({url: "./i18n/messagebundle.properties", locale: sLocale});
// create the button instance
var myButton = new sap.m.Button("btn");
// set properties, e.g. the text (there is also a shorter way of setting several properties)
// myButton.setText("Hello World!");
myButton.setText(oBundle.getText("helloworld"));
Listing: https://github.com/mattxdev/opensap-hana7/blob/master/web/resources/index.html
Local SAPUI5 Micro Service
SAPUI5 libraries can be used from the public SAPUI5 libraries.
Since SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 03 XS Advanced is capable of providing a micro service itself for local consumption.
A local micro service can be created either in XS Advanced Cockpit at
- HANAExpress -> development space -> Services -> Service Marketplace -> sapui5_sb
or via command line with:
xs create-service sapui5_sb sapui5-1.52 openSAPHANA_00-ui5
The service has to be added in:
Path | File | Function |
---|---|---|
/ | mta.yaml | Create new resource and add it to modules |
/web/ | xs-app.json | Use replace capability of app router to insert UI5 service URL dynamically |
/web/ | index.html | Fetch bootstrap from resource by utilizing variable |
UI Controls and Libraries
Control | Library | Function | Properties |
---|---|---|---|
Image | sap.m | Show image | src, width, tooltip |
Page | sap.m | Create a page with footer | title |
Link | sap.m | Show link | emphasized, text, target, href |
SearchField | sap.m | Input field for search | placeholder |
Select | sap.m | List of items for selection | |
Button | sap.m | Button for triggering actions | text |
Label | sap.m | Text label for other controls | labelFor |
SimpleForm | sap.ui.layout.form | Create nicely arranged simple forms | layout, columnsM, columnsL, columnsXL |
MessageToast | sap.m | Display a message | text |
PlanningCalendar | sap.ui.unified | Display rows with appointments | startDate, rows, Aggregation PlanningCalendarRow |
Aggregations of controls are used to nest other controls to be displayed inside them.
Association to the Select control is the currently selected item.
Examples: https://github.com/mattxdev/opensap-ui52-movies/blob/master/webapp/view/App.view.xml
Events
Event | Belongs to | Description |
---|---|---|
press | Button, Image | Fires when pressing on a button |
onInit | Controller | After the controller is initialized |
onBeforeRendering | Controller | Before rendering, i.e. for checking device parameters |
onAfterRendering | Controller | After rendering, i.e. for checking contents of DOM |
onExit | Controller | Before destroying the App |
Example Listing: https://github.com/mattxdev/opensap-ui52-movies/blob/master/webapp/controller/App.controller.js
URL Parameters
Parameters are specified by adding parameter-value-pairs to the URL. Example:
index.html?<parameter>=<value> index.html?sap-ui-language=de_DE
Parameter | Description | Example Values |
---|---|---|
sap-ui-language | Set language in as <Language>_<Region> |
German in Germany: de_DE |
sap-ui-theme | Set theme |
High Contrast White: sap_belize_hcw |
How to Implement
Dynamic Table Field List Based on OData Service Metadata
This example is based on the odataView App from above.
Visible table columns can eiter be hard coded in controller/App.controller.js in OnInit with oTable.setInitiallyVisibleFields:
onInit: function() { this.getView().addStyleClass("sapUiSizeCompact"); // make everything inside this View appear in Compact mode var oConfig = this.getOwnerComponent().getModel("config"); var userName = oConfig.getProperty("/UserName"); var bpModel = this.getOwnerComponent().getModel("bpModel"); var oTable = this.getView().byId("bpTable"); oTable.setModel(bpModel); oTable.setEntitySet("BusinessPartners"); oTable.setInitiallyVisibleFields("PARTNERID,COMPANYNAME,PARTNERROLE"); },
Or they can be made visible dynamically by looking them up in the meta data of the service at dataServices.schema[0].entityType[0].property:
function fnLoadMetadata() { try { oTable.setModel(bpModel); oTable.setEntitySet("BusinessPartners"); var oMeta = bpModel.getServiceMetadata(); var headerFields = ""; for (var i = 0; i < oMeta.dataServices.schema[0].entityType[0].property.length; i++) { var property = oMeta.dataServices.schema[0].entityType[0].property[i]; headerFields += property.name + ","; } oTable.setInitiallyVisibleFields(headerFields); } catch (e) { console.log(e.toString()); } } bpModel.attachMetadataLoaded(bpModel, function() { fnLoadMetadata(); }); fnLoadMetadata();
Hint: If your service metadata has multiple tables then you probably have to loop through the different entityType or even schema.
OData CRUD with Input List and SmartTable
Based on the odataView app from above the following has to be changed:
(The results are implemented in the odataCRUD app.
Model in manifest.json has to be changed:
"userModel": { "dataSource": "userService", "type": "sap.ui.model.odata.v2.ODataModel", "preload": true, "settings": { "useBatch": false, "json": true, "defaultBindingMode": "TwoWay", "defaultUpdateMethod": "PUT" } },
Notably is the defaultBindingMode TwoWay. This means that changes, which happen in the odata Service, are automatically reflected in bound UI controls and vice versa. When changes happen in the UI controls, they are automatically reflected in the model and sent to the server.
New event handlers in app controller for the buttons:
- callUserService -> for create operation -> calls the oModel.create function
- callUserUpdate -> for update operation -> calls the oModel.submitChanges function
Batch Insert with XMLfragment based Dynamically Created Dialog
Batching enables serverside parallelization if the queries are sent to the server as a batch operation.
Example Application: odataCRUD --> See event handler for onBatchDialogPress and the respective buttons and fragments.
Event handler getItem creates dynamically dialog elements in the UI for add and delete icon as well as input fields for first name, last name and email.
Event handler onSubmitBatch handles the batch processing. For that first a JSON object with all users will be created.
Class sap.ui.model.odata.v2.ODataModel parameter oParams.usetBatch = true
overwrites the settings from the manifest.json. Also a new model will be created to use the batch option.
This enables SAPUI5 to communicate with a odata service with different settings.
When batch is used a mParams.groupId will be available. It should be set.
batchModel.create sends the records actually one by one to the server. But as the model was created with the useBatch option all the records will be sent to the server as a batch after all commands are done on the client side.
Documentation: https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/api/sap.ui.model.odata.v2.ODataModel
OData V2 Deep Insert with Content-ID and Links
Example Application:
/web/resource/odataDeep
Deep inserts allow to insert data into tables with parent-child relationship and ensure that all the inserted records of both tables are correctly related to each other.
In the example below this actually happens by inserting records into both tables seperately using content ID and then updating the second table to have the same primary keys as the first table.
Definition of OData Service businessPartnersAddresses.xsodata:
service { "MD.BusinessPartner" as "BusinessPartners" navigates ("ToAddresses" as "AddRef") create events(before "sap.hana.democontent.epm.services:businessPartnersAddresses.xsjslib::bp_create_before_exit"); "MD.Addresses" as "Addresses" without ("POINT") create events(before "sap.hana.democontent.epm.services:businessPartnersAddresses.xsjslib::address_create_before_exit"); association "ToAddresses" principal "BusinessPartners"("ADDRESSES.ADDRESSID") multiplicity "1" dependent "Addresses"("ADDRESSID") multiplicity "1" over "MD.Addresses" principal("ADDRESSID") dependent ("ADDRESSID") update using "sap.hana.democontent.epm.services:businessPartnersAddresses.xsjslib::assocation_create_exit"; }
The service has three user exits:
- bp_create_before_exit: Generates partnerID from sequence and fills some fields before create
- address_create_before_exit: Generates addressID from sequence and fills some fields before create
- association_create_exit: Fetches both previously created records and updates the business partner record with the addressID from the address record.
Listing of businessPartnersAddresses.xsjslib containing the three exits:
In order to use batch with content-ids the SAPUI5 odata object cannot be used. Instead the request will be build by the controller during run time. Calling of the services utilizes jQuery.ajax and must also handle CSRF tokens.
index.html ... <script type="text/javascript" src="/common/csrf.js" ></script> ...
Listing of app controller which builds the complete OData batch request (unlike earlier SAPUI5 exercises where the framework did all the work):
Notice the Content-ID option. It works as a place holder ($1 and $2) to represent the keys which will not be generated until the server side has processed the work. The $1 and $2 placeholders can be used in the association URL and work as placeholders for actual values. XSODATA framework on the server side will replace this values during processing.
Fiori Annotations with OData V4 and CDS
Example Application:
/web/resource/poListV4
OData V4 and CDS enable a large range of metadata definitions for Fiori applications to allow nearly everything about the UI like:
- Value helps
- Sort Options
- Output columns
The metadata can be placed at different levels of the CDS like:
- Lowest level: At the entity definitions
- At the service level or UI page
Type | Description |
---|---|
title | Text description used as field label and column headers. Can be used at reusable type level or within entity or view definition |
FieldControl | Set state of input field to i.e. Read Only or Mandatory |
Measures | i.e. amount of fields gets measure from currency column |
ValueList | i.e. currency column which points to foreign entity CURRENCY. This allows to pupulate drop down list boxes or fill value helps within the UI from this definition. |
Code excerpts for entity level annotations from /db/PurchaseOrder.cds:
type HistoryT { CREATEDBY : BusinessKey @(title: '{i18n>CreatedBy}', Common.FieldControl: #ReadOnly); CREATEDAT : SDate @(title: '{i18n>CreatedAt}', Common.FieldControl: #ReadOnly); CHANGEDBY : BusinessKey @(title: '{i18n>ChangedBy}', Common.FieldControl: #ReadOnly); CHANGEDAT : SDate @(title: '{i18n>ChangedAt}', Common.FieldControl: #ReadOnly); }; entity Headers { key PURCHASEORDERID : Integer @( title: '{i18n>po_id}', Common.FieldControl: #Mandatory, Search.defaultSearchElement, Common.Label: '{i18n>po_id}' ); ITEMS : association to many Items on ITEMS.POHeader = $self @( title: '{i18n>po_items}', Common: { Text: {$value: ITEMS.PRODUCT, "@UI.TextArrangement": #TextOnly }} ); HISTORY : HistoryT; NOTEID : BusinessKey null @title: '{i18n>notes}'; PARTNER : BusinessKey @title: '{i18n>partner_id}'; CURRENCY : CurrencyT @( Common: { Text: {$value: CURRENCY.CURRENCY, "@UI.TextArrangement": #TextOnly}, ValueList: {entity: 'CURRENCY', type: #fixed}, ValueListWithFixedValues } ); GROSSAMOUNT : AmountT @( title: '{i18n>grossAmount}', Measures.ISOCurrency: currency); NETAMOUNT : AmountT @( title: '{i18n>netAmount}', Measures.ISOCurrency: currency); TAXAMOUNT : AmountT @( title: '{i18n>taxAmount}', Measures.ISOCurrency: currency); LIFECYCLESTATUS : StatusT @(title: '{i18n>lifecycle}', Common.FieldControl: #ReadOnly); APPROVALSTATUS : StatusT @(title: '{i18n>approval}', Common.FieldControl: #ReadOnly); CONFIRMSTATUS : StatusT @(title: '{i18n>confirmation}', Common.FieldControl: #ReadOnly); ORDERINGSTATUS : StatusT @(title: '{i18n>ordering}', Common.FieldControl: #ReadOnly); INVOICINGSTATUS : StatusT @(title: '{i18n>invoicing}', Common.FieldControl: #ReadOnly); }

Code excerpt from /srv/fiori-annotations-my-service.cds for service level UI annotations:
using CatalogService as cats from './my-service'; annotate cats.POItemsView with @( // header-level annotations // --------------------------------------------------------------------------- // List Report // --------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Product List UI: { LineItem: [ {$Type: 'UI.DataField', Value: PO_ITEM_ID, "@UI.Importance":#High}, {$Type: 'UI.DataField', Value: PRODUCT_ID, "@UI.Importance": #High}, {$Type: 'UI.DataField', Value: PARTNER_ID, "@UI.Importance": #High}, {$Type: 'UI.DataField', Value: PARTNERS.COMPANYNAME, "@UI.Importance": #Medium}, {$Type: 'UI.DataField', Value: AMOUNT, "@UI.Importance": #High}, {$Type: 'UI.DataField', Value: CURRENCY_CODE, "@UI.Importance": #Medium}, ], PresentationVariant: { SortOrder: [ {$Type: 'Common.SortOrderType', Property: PO_ITEM_ID, Descending: false}, {$Type: 'Common.SortOrderType', Property: PRODUCT_ID, Descending: false} ] } } );

Fiori allows XML templating. It will be implemented in the Main.view.xml by making use of template:with and template:repeat elements. This allow iterating over OData Annotations in order to control the UI output dynamically.
Example code excerpts from /web/resource/poListV4/view/Main.view.xml:
<template:with path="entityType>@com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.LineItem" var="lineItem">
<!-- Note: this limits the data shown to 5 rows! -->
<Table headerText="Purchase Orders" items="{path:'', parameters : {$expand : 'PARTNERS'}}"
growingThreshold="10" growing="true">
<columns>
<template:repeat list="{lineItem>}" var="field">
<template:if test="{= ${field>@com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.Importance/$EnumMember} !==
'com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.ImportanceType/Low' }">
<template:then>
<Column>
<Label
design="{:= ${field>@com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.Importance/$EnumMember} ===
'com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.ImportanceType/High' ? 'Bold' : 'Standard'}"
text="{field>@@label}"/>
</Column>
</template:then>
</template:if>
</template:repeat>
</columns>
<ColumnListItem>
<template:repeat list="{lineItem>}" var="field">
<Text text="{field>Value/@@value}"/>
</template:repeat>
</ColumnListItem>
</Table>
</template:with>

Consume OData V4 Service with Create Option
Example Application:
/web/resource/odataCRUDV4
In order to use OData V4 appropriate settings for data source and model are necessary in manifest.json, i.e.:
... "sap.app": { ... "dataSources": { "userService": { "uri": "/odata/v4/opensap.hana.CatalogService/", "type": "OData", "settings": { "odataVersion": "4.0" } } } ... ... "sap.ui5": { ... "models": { "": { "type": "sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel", "settings": { "defaultBindingMode": "TwoWay" } }, "userModel": { "dataSource": "userService", "type": "sap.ui.model.odata.v4.ODataModel", "preload": false, "settings": { "synchronizationMode": "None", "operationMode": "Server", "autoExpandSelect": true } }, ... } }
Entire listing: https://github.com/mattxdev/opensap-hana7/blob/master/web/resources/odataCRUDV4/manifest.json
As the SmartTable control does not yet allow OData V4 model (in early 2019) the m.table control will be used in App.view.xml:
<Table tableId="userTable" id="userTable" growingThreshold="10" growing="true"
items="{
path: 'userModel>/User',
sorter: [{ path: 'USERID', descending: false}],
events : {dataReceived : '.onDataEvents' } }">
<columns>
<Column>
<header><Label text="User ID"/></header>
</Column>
<Column>
<header><Label text="First Name"/></header>
</Column>
<Column>
<header><Label text="Last Name"/></header>
</Column>
<Column>
<header><Label text="Email"/></header>
</Column>
</columns>
<items>
<ColumnListItem>
<cells>
<Input value="{path: 'userModel>USERID'}" name="PERS_NO" editable="false"/>
<Input value="{path: 'userModel>FIRSTNAME'}" name="FIRSTNAME"/>
<Input value="{path: 'userModel>LASTNAME'}" name="LASTNAME"/>
<Input value="{path: 'userModel>EMAIL'}" name="E_MAIL"/>
</cells>
</ColumnListItem>
</items>
</Table>
Entire listing: https://github.com/mattxdev/opensap-hana7/blob/master/web/resources/odataCRUDV4/view/App.view.xml
In order to use OData V4 the App.controller.js has to account for that. This happens by creating a binding the new data to the OData V4 model. Besides that no special model functions have to be called:
... callUserService: function () { try { var oModel = this.getOwnerComponent().getModel("userModel"); var result = this.getView().getModel().getData(); var oList = this.byId("userTable"), oBinding = oList.getBinding("items"), // Create a new entry through the table's list binding oContext = oBinding.create({ "USERID": 0, "FIRSTNAME": result.FirstName, "LASTNAME": result.LastName, "EMAIL": result.Email }); // Note: this promise fails only if the transient entity is deleted oContext.created().then(function () { sap.m.MessageBox.alert("User created: " + oContext.getProperty("USERID")); }, function (oError) { sap.m.MessageBox.alert(oError.toString()); }); } catch (err) { sap.m.MessageBox.alert(err.toString()); } }, callUserUpdate: function () { var oModel = this.getOwnerComponent().getModel("userModel"); var mParams = {}; mParams.error = function () { sap.m.MessageToast.show("Update failed"); }; mParams.success = function () { sap.m.MessageToast.show("Update successful"); }; oModel.submitChanges(mParams); } , ...
Entire listing: https://github.com/mattxdev/opensap-hana7/blob/master/web/resources/odataCRUDV4/controller/App.controller.js
Asynchronous Loading of Controls in Code
Loading of controls asynchronously is done by the sap.ui.require
function.
This improves initial loading time of the application and reduces its size.
Example:
onPress: function (oEvent) {
sap.ui.require(["sap/m/MessageToast"], function (oMessage) {
oMessage.show("Searching...");
} );
}
Logging Events to Console
Add data-sap-ui-logLevel to bootstrap:
<script id="sap-ui-bootstrap"
src="resources/sap-ui-core.js"
data-sap-ui-theme="sap_fiori_3"
data-sap-ui-resourceroots='{"opensap.movies": "./"}'
data-sap-ui-compatVersion="edge"
data-sap-ui-logLevel="debug"
data-sap-ui-oninit="module:sap/ui/core/ComponentSupport"
data-sap-ui-async="true"
data-sap-ui-frameOptions="trusted">
</script>
Add logging at controller level by adding sap/base/Log module:
sap.ui.define([
"sap/ui/core/mvc/Controller",
"sap/base/Log"
], function (Controller, Log) {
"use strict";
return Controller.extend("opensap.movies.controller.App", {
onInit: function () {
Log.info("Controller has been initialized.");
},
onExit: function () {
Log.info("Controller will shortly be destroyed.");
},
onBeforeRendering: function () {
Log.info("The view will shortly be rendered.");
},
onAfterRendering: function () {
Log.info("The view has been rendered.");
},
onPress: function (sValue) {
sap.ui.require(["sap/m/MessageToast"], function (oMessage) {
oMessage.show("Searching..." + sValue);
} );
}
});
});
Route to View on Event
Specify routes in manifest.json, here for the Detail view:
"routing": {
"config": {
"routerClass": "sap.m.routing.Router",
"viewType": "XML",
"async": true,
"viewPath": "opensap.movies.view",
"controlAggregation": "pages",
"controlId": "app",
"clearControlAggregation": false
},
"routes": [{
"name": "Home",
"pattern": "",
"target": ["Home"]
}, {
"name": "Detail",
"pattern": "movies/{movieId}/appointments/{appointmentId}",
"titleTarget": "",
"greedy": false,
"target": ["Detail"]
}],
Specify event and eventhandler in view definition, here event appointmentSelect:
<PlanningCalendar id="calendar" startDate="{path: 'movies>/initDate', formatter: '.formatter.formatDate'}" rows="{movies>/movies}"
appointmentsVisualization="Filled" appointmentSelect=".onAppointmentSelect(${$parameters>/appointment})">
<toolbarContent>
...
</toolbarContent>
<rows>
<PlanningCalendarRow title="{movies>name}" text="{movies>genre}" appointments="{path: 'movies>appointments', templateShareable: 'true'}">
<appointments>
...
</appointments>
</PlanningCalendarRow>
</rows>
</PlanningCalendar>
Full listing: https://github.com/mattxdev/opensap-ui52-movies/blob/master/webapp/view/App.view.xml
Add UIComponent to controller to access the app router:
sap.ui.define([
...,
"sap/ui/core/UIComponent"
], function (Controller, Log, formatter, Filter, FilterOperator, UIComponent) {
"use strict";
return Controller.extend("opensap.movies.controller.App", {
...
onAppointmentSelect: function (oAppointment) {
var oContext = oAppointment.getBindingContext("movies"),
sPath = oContext.getPath();
var aParameters = sPath.split("/");
UIComponent.getRouterFor(this).navTo("Detail", {
movieId: aParameters[2],
appointmentId: aParameters[4]
});
}
});
});
Full listing: https://github.com/mattxdev/opensap-ui52-movies/blob/master/webapp/controller/App.controller.js
Now the Detail.controller.js of the Detail view has to be enabled to respond to the new route pattern:
onInit: function () {
UIComponent.getRouterFor(this).getRoute("Detail").attachPatternMatched(this._onDetailMatched, this);
},
_onDetailMatched: function (oEvent) {
var oView = this.getView(),
sMovieIndex = oEvent.getParameter("arguments")["movieId"],
sAppointmentIndex = oEvent.getParameter("arguments")["appointmentId"];
oView.bindElement({
path: "/movies/" + sMovieIndex + "/appointments/" + sAppointmentIndex,
model: "movies",
events: {
change: this._onBindingChange.bind(this)
}
});
},
_onBindingChange: function () {
var oView = this.getView(),
oElementBinding = oView.getElementBinding("movies"),
sPath = oElementBinding.getPath();
// if the path to the data does not exist we navigate to the not found page
if (!oView.getModel("movies").getObject(sPath)) {
//See Challenge at the end: UIComponent.getRouterFor(this).getTargets().display("NotFound");
}
}
onDetailsChanged binds the view to the model using the path of the appointment the user clicked on. This will display automatically the chosen appointment details on the Detail view.
onBindingChange transfers the binding contect to the Detail view.

Reusing Patterns
Reuse Patterns:
- Control
- Fragment
- View
- Component
- Library
Control Pattern:
- Encapsulates Rendering and Behavior
- Standardized Control Interface
- Smallest Reusable UI Asset
- Custom or Composite Control
- Bundled in Control Libraries
XML Composite Control
- Declarative UI definition in XML
- Special $this model for binding properties
- Control metadata description
Create XML composite control:
- Create new folder "control" inside "webapp"
- Create .js file for controller and metadata
- Create .xml file for layout

Add CRUD Form to Flexible Column Layout
Exercise from openSAP course UI52: Week 4 Unit 1: Creating Items and Validating User Input
Form will be called from "+"-Button in Detail View. Implementation:
Create a new XML View and controller. Implementations:
Add create target and create route to the manifest.json:
Information about Routing and Navigation: https://ui5.sap.com/#/topic/3d18f20bd2294228acb6910d8e8a5fb5
Extend existing Detail.controller.js:
Add Input Validation Client and Server Side
Add value property to the input fields:
- ProductID
- Note
- Quantity
Set path and type of each value property to the corresponding property from the oData model. This way the app uses backend validation and ensures that the oData properties will receive correct entries regarding their type.
Use contraints to ensure input of correct values at the client side. In the following implementation this happens with regular expressions. Also set minimum value for quantity.
Implementation:
Define defaultBindingMode to TwoWay in order to be able to handle the transport of data both from the model to the controls and back from the controls to the model.

Add MessageManager for Displaying Messages
In onInit a global message manager will be registered and a special message model will be established to redtieve and display error messages.

Message Popover for Logging Errors
In general it is a good idea in terms of user experience to store all errors in one place. This helps the user to find and track errors. sap.m.MessagePopover is a good choice for this.
Add a button to the overflow toolbar for showing the message popover.
Initialize the MessageManager in onInit. Register the root element ObjectPageLayout of the view as an object for which errors will be tracked and displayed in the popover.
Ensure to remove all server-side erroors by removing all messages from the MessageManager _onCreateMatched.
Als remove old messages when the product name is changed and is about to be validated. This is implemented at the change event of the correspodings input field in the view - here implemented in the onNameChange function.
In the handler of the popover button onOpenMessages open the MessagePopover.
