Abstract Class sap.ui.model.CompositeTypeModule: sap/ui/model/CompositeType

extends SimpleType
known direct subclasses: Currency

This is an abstract base class for composite types. Composite types have multiple input values and know how to merge/split them upon formatting/parsing the value. Typical use case a currency or amount values.

Subclasses of CompositeTypes can define boolean properties in the constructor: - bUseRawValues: the format and parse method will handle raw model values, types of embedded bindings are ignored - bParseWithValues: the parse method call will include the current binding values as a third parameter

Constructor Summary
new sap.ui.model.CompositeType(oFormatOptions?, oConstraints?)Constructor for a new CompositeType.
Method Summary
sap.ui.model.CompositeType.extend(sClassName, oClassInfo?, FNMetaImpl?)Creates a new subclass of class sap.ui.model.CompositeType with name sClassName and enriches it with the information contained in oClassInfo.
sap.ui.model.CompositeType.getMetadata()Returns a metadata object for class sap.ui.model.CompositeType.
formatValue(aValues, sInternalType)Format the given set of values in model representation to an output value in the given internal type.
parseValue(oValue, sInternalType, aCurrentValues)Parse a value of an internal type to the expected set of values of the model type.
validateValue(aValues)Validate whether a given value in model representation is valid and meets the defined constraints (if any).

Constructor Detail
new sap.ui.model.CompositeType(oFormatOptions?, oConstraints?)
Constructor for a new CompositeType.
Parameters:
{object}oFormatOptions? options as provided by concrete subclasses
{object}oConstraints? constraints as supported by concrete subclasses
Method Detail
sap.ui.model.CompositeType.extend(sClassName, oClassInfo?, FNMetaImpl?): function
Creates a new subclass of class sap.ui.model.CompositeType with name sClassName and enriches it with the information contained in oClassInfo.

oClassInfo might contain the same kind of information as described in sap.ui.model.SimpleType.extend.

Parameters:
{string}sClassName Name of the class being created
{object}oClassInfo? Object literal with information about the class
{function}FNMetaImpl? Constructor function for the metadata object; if not given, it defaults to sap.ui.core.ElementMetadata
Returns:
{function} Created class / constructor function
sap.ui.model.CompositeType.getMetadata(): sap.ui.base.Metadata
Returns a metadata object for class sap.ui.model.CompositeType.
Returns:
{sap.ui.base.Metadata} Metadata object describing this class
formatValue(aValues, sInternalType): any
Format the given set of values in model representation to an output value in the given internal type. This happens according to the format options, if target type is 'string'. If aValues is not defined or null, null will be returned.
Parameters:
{array}aValues the values to be formatted
{string}sInternalType the target type
Returns:
{any} the formatted output value
parseValue(oValue, sInternalType, aCurrentValues): array
Parse a value of an internal type to the expected set of values of the model type.
Parameters:
{any}oValue the value to be parsed
{string}sInternalType the source type
{array}aCurrentValues the current values of all binding parts
Returns:
{array} the parse result array
validateValue(aValues)
Validate whether a given value in model representation is valid and meets the defined constraints (if any).
Parameters:
{array}aValues the set of values to be validated
