One formatter for multiple attributes

[former_member724290]

ObjectStatus has three dynamic attributes. For each of them, I have to write my own formatting method with the same set of parameters.

1. Can I write one (universal) formatter for attributes?

2. How correct is my approach?

You can write one formatter and add value: 'TEXT', 'STATE', 'ICON', etc... to the "parts" in the property binding.

Thanks Boghyon.

This will get rid of the three formatters, but will not reduce the code in the view.

Is it possible to use some kind of global formatter at the ObjectStatus level?

and_andrey You could define a property binding once (e.g. at the "text" property) and in the formatter, access the ObjectStatus instance and set its other properties accordingly. How to use "this" as the ObjectStatus instance is answered here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54419469/5846045
