How to maximize/minimize the groups in List-Grouping?

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a usecase wherein there is a list & when I click on a list item it should open another list with few items in it.

In this example SAPUI5 Explored it's already having a list which is grouped in to category. This suits my usecase very well except that I should be able to hide the list items of a particular group when not in need.

Is there any other control for this requirement? if not, how to achieve this?

Thanks,

Rashmi

If your data is already grouped, you can use panels. SAPUI5 Explored

For each panel you can create then a list with the children.

Thanks for quick reply.

Yes my data is already grouped. I am using splitapp. Instead of 2 masters, I thought of going for grouping, so that I can add  search on group & list at the same time.

So you mean in master I can use panel with list in it?

If your search will generate new data it is possible by using panels.

Do you use js or xml for the view?

No, but I would like to give you a sample template 🙂

example data structure:

results

     0

          title

          results

               0 ... ...

               1 ... ...

     1

          title

          results

                ...

xml template:

<ListBase items="{path: 'Data>/results'  }">
     <CustomListItem>
            <Panel 
                    expandable="true"
                    expanded="false" 
                    headerText="{Data>title}">
                         <ListBase items="{path: 'Data>results'  }">
                              <CustomListItem>
                                        //  ...children items here
