I have my controller file in which I call a function on another file, then from that function I wan to call another function within that file but I'm unable to do that.
controller.js code
onPricePress: function(evt) {
//some code here
....
//now what I want here
formatter.test.apply(this); //formatter is the reference to my other file and calls the function test().
}
formatter.js code
test: function(){
//some code here
....
//now what I want
var displayColor = evaluateColorFormat(DLAPrice, proposedPrice); //this is my other function
},
evaluateColorFormat(DLAPrice, proposedPrice){
//do something
}
so I want to call evaluateColorFormat() function from test() but I cannot do that, it says the reference to that function doesn't exist. I tried using this.function() format but it gives me the same error. I saw a solution on stackoverflow but that makes use of this.function() which doesn't work for me. Any ideas anyone?
why not
formatter.test() var displayColor = this.evaluateColorFormat(DLAPrice, proposedPrice);
Already tried that and doesn't work. The reason for it not working is that when I call formatter.test() from my controller I attach "this" to it, which means that test() has a controller object reference, so when using this.something() inside formatter.test() it points to the controller object, which doesn't have the evaluateColorFormat() function.
Hi,
Can you paste your entire Formatter. I solved your problem like this :
MyFormatter:
jQuery.sap.declare("model.formatter");
model.formatter = {
testFunc:function(a,b) {
console.log('called');
model.formatter.testFunc2();
},
testFunc2: function () {
console.log('called func 2');
}
};
And call in my Controller is same as yours :
this.formatter.testFunc.apply(this);
I found a solution to this. The solution above would work but I was calling the first function from another file. I found a way to make it work already thanks.
