How to get the current OData Model in JavaScript code of the App?

[abelousov]

Hi,

Of course I can get the OData model in a controller java script code in such way:

____________Cut __________________

var oDataModel = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel("/bydesign/sap/byd/odata/cust/v1/exchangerate/");

____________Cut __________________

but the model (URI) is already definied in the App in manifest.json file:

I would like to set oDataModel variable without mention of URI again.

Or there is probably some way to get the URI value which was mentioned in manifest.json

Is there any solution?

Thanks a lot.

Thank you Jun,

Could you please give me a bit bigger fragment?

Yet I did not understand where I should put the expression in component.js.

in your component.js you can access it like this.

this.getMetadata().getManifestEntry("sap.app").dataSources.mainService.uri
