extends Type

known direct subclasses: Boolean, CompositeType, Date, Date, FileSize, FileSize, Float, Integer, Number, ODataType, String

This is an abstract base class for simple types.

Constructor Summary

new sap.ui.model.SimpleType(oFormatOptions?, oConstraints?)Constructor for a new SimpleType.

Method Summary

sap.ui.model.SimpleType.extend(sClassName, oClassInfo?, FNMetaImpl?)Creates a new subclass of class sap.ui.model.SimpleType with name sClassName and enriches it with the information contained in oClassInfo.

sap.ui.model.SimpleType.getMetadata()Returns a metadata object for class sap.ui.model.SimpleType.

formatValue(oValue, sInternalType)Format the given value in model representation to an output value in the given internal type.

parseValue(oValue, sInternalType)Parse a value of an internal type to the expected value of the model type.

validateValue(oValue)Validate whether a given value in model representation is valid and meets the defined constraints (if any).

Constructor Detail

new sap.ui.model.SimpleType(oFormatOptions?, oConstraints?)

Constructor for a new SimpleType.

Parameters:

{object}	oFormatOptions?	options as provided by concrete subclasses
{object}	oConstraints?	constraints as supported by concrete subclasses

Method Detail

sap.ui.model.SimpleType.extend(sClassName, oClassInfo?, FNMetaImpl?): function

Creates a new subclass of class sap.ui.model.SimpleType 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.Type.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.SimpleType.getMetadata(): sap.ui.base.Metadata

Returns a metadata object for class sap.ui.model.SimpleType.

Returns:

{sap.ui.base.Metadata}

Metadata object describing this class

formatValue(oValue, sInternalType): any

Format the given value 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 oValue is not defined or null, null will be returned.

Parameters:

{any}	oValue	the value to be formatted
{string}	sInternalType	the target type

Returns:

{any}

the formatted output value

parseValue(oValue, sInternalType): any

Parse a value of an internal type to the expected value of the model type.

Parameters:

{any}	oValue	the value to be parsed
{string}	sInternalType	the source type

Returns:

{any}

the parse result

validateValue(oValue)

Validate whether a given value in model representation is valid and meets the defined constraints (if any).

Parameters:

{any}

oValue

the value to be validated
