Put constant inside binding

[Former Member]

Hi,

There is a way inside binding to put some constant

instead of

  new sap.ui.commons.TextView({
  text: "{FILENAME}",

  new sap.ui.commons.TextView({
  text: constant "{FILENAME}",

Hi Stephane,

Yes you can, you have to do -

  new sap.ui.commons.TextView({
  text: constant + "{FILENAME}"              //constant Value should be declared in a variable
  })

Please check the sample here - JS Bin - TextView Binding

In my code, I have done like this -

var oTextView = new sap.ui.commons.TextView({text: "Customer - " + "{/modelData/employeesData/0/Name}"});

IMO, Sai's solution is good.

However, we have to be careful if the text is localized. Then it is better not to do string concatenation but have a sap.ui.model.resource.ResourceModel to defined the format.

then you can do

var oTextView = new sap.ui.commons.TextView({
    text: {
       parts: ['i18n>localizedStr', 'FILENAME'],
       formatter: function(localizedString, filename) {
           return localizedString.replace('{0}', filename);
       }
    }
});

Where i18n is the resource model and example of localizedStr is

constant {0}

Thanks
