Step 3: Using Dynamic Page for the List View

In this step, we create the list view of the app using sap.f.DynamicPage control.

webapp/manifest.json [MODIFY]

{
	"_version": "1.38.0",
	"sap.app": {
		"id": "sap.ui.demo.fcl",
		"type": "application",
		"applicationVersion": {
			"version": "1.0.0"
		}
	},
	"sap.ui5": {
		"rootView": {
			"viewName": "sap.ui.demo.fcl.view.App",
			"type": "XML",
			"async": true,
			"id": "fcl"
		},
		"dependencies": {
			"minUI5Version": "1.98.0",
			"libs": {
				"sap.f": {},
				"sap.m": {},
				"sap.ui.core": {}
				}
		}
	}
}

First, we add the sap.m library as a dependency in the manifest.json.

Note:

We also need to modify the ui5.yaml file located in the root folder by adding the sap.m and sap.f libraries as a dependency. For more information, see the section about UI5 tooling in The UI5 Ecosystem.

webapp/index.html [MODIFY]

	...
	<script id="sap-ui-bootstrap"
		src="resources/sap-ui-core.js"
		data-sap-ui-theme="sap_horizon"
		data-sap-ui-resourceroots='{
			"sap.ui.demo.fcl": "./",
			"sap.ui.demo.mock": "test-resources/sap/ui/documentation/sdk/"
		}'
		data-sap-ui-oninit="module:sap/ui/core/ComponentSupport"
		data-sap-ui-compatversion="edge"
		data-sap-ui-async="true"
		data-sap-ui-frameoptions="trusted">
	</script>
	...

We add the link to the mock data that is used in the app.

webapp/Component.js [MODIFY]

sap.ui.define([
	'sap/ui/core/UIComponent',
	'sap/ui/model/json/JSONModel'
], function(UIComponent, JSONModel) {
	'use strict';

	return UIComponent.extend('sap.ui.demo.fcl.Component', {

		metadata: {
			manifest: 'json'
		},

		init: function () {
			var oProductsModel;

			UIComponent.prototype.init.apply(this, arguments);

			// set products demo model on this sample
			oProductsModel = new JSONModel(sap.ui.require.toUrl('sap/ui/demo/mock/products.json'));
			oProductsModel.setSizeLimit(1000);
			this.setModel(oProductsModel, 'products');
		}
	});
});

We create the init method in the Component.js to set the model.

webapp/view/List.view.xml [NEW]

<mvc:View
	controllerName="sap.ui.demo.fcl.controller.List"
	xmlns="sap.m"
	xmlns:core="sap.ui.core"
	xmlns:f="sap.f"
	xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc">
	<f:DynamicPage id="dynamicPageId" toggleHeaderOnTitleClick="false">
		<!-- DynamicPage Title -->
		<f:title>
			<f:DynamicPageTitle>
				<f:heading>
					<Title text="Products ({products>/ProductCollectionStats/Counts/Total})"/>
				</f:heading>
			</f:DynamicPageTitle>
		</f:title>

		<!-- DynamicPage Content -->
		<f:content>

				</OverflowToolbar>
				<Table

							path: 'Name'
						}
					}"
					class="sapFDynamicPageAlignContent"
					width="auto">
					<columns>
						<Column width="12em">

						</Column>
					</columns>
					<items>
						<ColumnListItem type="Navigation">
							<cells>
								<ObjectIdentifier title="{products>Name}" text="{products>ProductId}"/>
								<ObjectNumber
									core:require="{
										Currency: 'sap/ui/model/type/Currency'
									}"
									number="{
										parts:[
											{path:'products>Price'},
											{path:'products>CurrencyCode'}
										],
										type: 'Currency',
										formatOptions: {showMeasure: false}
									}"
									unit="{products>CurrencyCode}"/>
							</cells>
						</ColumnListItem>
					</items>
				</Table>
			</VBox>
		</f:content>

		<!-- DynamicPage Footer -->
		<f:footer>
			<OverflowToolbar>
				<ToolbarSpacer/>
				<Button type="Accept" text="Accept"/>
				<Button type="Reject" text="Reject"/>
			</OverflowToolbar>
		</f:footer>
	</f:DynamicPage>
</mvc:View>

We create the list view using sap.f.DynamicPage. The page consists of a list with all products.

webapp/view/App.view.xml [MODIFY]

<mvc:View
	displayBlock="true"
	height="100%"
	xmlns="sap.f"
	xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc">
	<FlexibleColumnLayout id="flexibleColumnLayout" backgroundDesign="Solid">
		<beginColumnPages>
			<mvc:XMLView id="beginView" viewName="sap.ui.demo.fcl.view.List"/>
		</beginColumnPages>
	</FlexibleColumnLayout>
</mvc:View>

We add the list view in FlexibleColumnLayout's beginColumnPages aggregation.

webapp/controller/List.controller.js [NEW]

sap.ui.define([
	"sap/ui/core/mvc/Controller",
	"sap/ui/model/Filter",
	"sap/ui/model/FilterOperator",
	"sap/ui/model/Sorter",
	"sap/m/MessageBox"
], function (Controller, Filter, FilterOperator, Sorter, MessageBox) {
	"use strict";

	return Controller.extend("sap.ui.demo.fcl.controller.List", {
		onInit: function () {
			this.oView = this.getView();
			this._bDescendingSort = false;
			this.oProductsTable = this.oView.byId("productsTable");
		},

		onSearch: function (oEvent) {
			var oTableSearchState = [],
				sQuery = oEvent.getParameter("query");

			if (sQuery && sQuery.length > 0) {
				oTableSearchState = [new Filter("Name", FilterOperator.Contains, sQuery)];
			}

			this.oProductsTable.getBinding("items").filter(oTableSearchState, "Application");
		},

		onAdd: function () {
			MessageBox.information("This functionality is not ready yet.", {title: "Aw, Snap!"});
		},

		onSort: function () {
			this._bDescendingSort = !this._bDescendingSort;
			var oBinding = this.oProductsTable.getBinding("items"),
				oSorter = new Sorter("Name", this._bDescendingSort);

			oBinding.sort(oSorter);
		}
	});
});

We create the list controller that provides a basic search and sort functionality for the products listed in the list page.
