Dependency issue with custom formatter

[former_member277580]

Hello,

I was referring below link to use custom formatter in my application:

https://sapui5.netweaver.ondemand.com/docs/guide/0f8626ed7b7542ffaa44601828db20de.html

This works fine but I need to take a different approach as per my Application framework. So I did the following things as below:

1. Create a formatter file under a specific folder

(function() {

  'use strict';

  jQuery.sap.declare("mytravelandexpense.formatter.myGenericFormatter");

  mytravelandexpense.formatter.myGenericFormatter = {};

  mytravelandexpense.formatter.myGenericFormatter.concatenateObjDesc = function(o, d) {

  return 0 + ' -' + d;

  };

});

2. I have created a dependency in my controller as below:

jQuery.sap.require("mytravelandexpense.formatter.myGenericFormatter");

3. Next I have used this formatetter in my view :

text="{ parts:[{path: 'Model1>CostObjectID'}, {path:'Model2>Description'}], formatter:'mytravelandexpense.formatter.myGenericFormatter.concatenateObjDesc'}"

But in console I see, it says the formatter is not found.

Could you please help me to understand where I am doing the wrong.

- Thanks , Somnath

what's your folder structure and controller name

Hello, Please find the folder structure of my custom formatter file:

myProject>Formatter>myGenericFormatter.js

Where mytravelandexpense is the namespace.

- Thanks, Somnath

Hey Somnath,

Could you capitalize all the formatter phrase into  "....Formatter.myGenericFormatter", since your folder name starts with capital.

as other one mentioned. please make them match. it should be upper case.

[former_member277580]

my bad, it is actually formatter not Formatter.

[junwu]

do u have other error in your console?

try this when u define your formatter

mytravelandexpense= mytravelandexpense||{};

mytravelandexpense.formatter=mytravelandexpense.formatter||{};

mytravelandexpense.formatter.myGenericFormatter = {};

Dear,

I think I have placed either a very bad question or very hard question to answer Was expecting some help as I am stuck with this.

Will appreciate a reply/advice.

- Thanks , Somnath

Hey Somnath,

It looks correct though.

Do you have your "myGenericFormatter" placed correctly under the folder "formatter" in your root content ("mytravelandexpense") ?

What is the name you have assigned to dependency in controller

Suppose in controller you have assigned  as below -

sap.ui.define([

  "sap/cdp/ums/managerequests/controller/BaseController",

  "mytravelandexpense/formatter/myGenericFormatter"

  ], function(BaseController, formatter) {

  "use strict";

  return BaseController.extend("<namespace>.Object", {

  formatter: formatter,

Change in view as below -

text="{ parts:[{path: 'Model1>CostObjectID'}, {path:'Model2>Description'}],

formatter:'.formatter.concatenateObjDesc'}"
