Class sap.ui.model.odata.type.StringModule: sap/ui/model/odata/type/String

extends ODataType

This class represents the OData primitive type Edm.String.

In both sap.ui.model.odata.v2.ODataModel and sap.ui.model.odata.v4.ODataModel this type is represented as a string.


Since: 1.27.0.
Constructor Summary
new sap.ui.model.odata.type.String(oFormatOptions?, oConstraints?)Constructor for an OData primitive type Edm.String.
Method Summary
sap.ui.model.odata.type.String.extend(sClassName, oClassInfo?, FNMetaImpl?)Creates a new subclass of class sap.ui.model.odata.type.String with name sClassName and enriches it with the information contained in oClassInfo.
sap.ui.model.odata.type.String.getMetadata()Returns a metadata object for class sap.ui.model.odata.type.String.
formatValue(sValue, sTargetType)Formats the given value to the given target type.
getName()Returns the type's name.
parseValue(vValue, sSourceType)Parses the given value which is expected to be of the given type to a string.
validateValue(sValue)Validates whether the given value in model representation is valid and meets the defined constraints.

Constructor Detail
new sap.ui.model.odata.type.String(oFormatOptions?, oConstraints?)
Constructor for an OData primitive type Edm.String.
Parameters:
{object}oFormatOptions? format options as defined in the interface of sap.ui.model.SimpleType; this type ignores them since it does not support any format options
{object}oConstraints? constraints; validateValue throws an error if any constraint is violated
{boolean|string}oConstraints.isDigitSequence? if true, the value is handled as a sequence of digits; while formatting leading zeros are removed from the value and while parsing the value is enhanced with leading zeros (if a maxLength constraint is given) or leading zeros are removed from the value (if no maxLength constraint is given); this constraint is supported since 1.35.0. To make this type behave as ABAP type NUMC, use oConstraints.isDigitSequence=true together with oConstraints.maxLength.
{int|string}oConstraints.maxLength? the maximal allowed length of the string; unlimited if not defined
{boolean|string}oConstraints.nullable?, Default: true if true, the value null is accepted
Method Detail
sap.ui.model.odata.type.String.extend(sClassName, oClassInfo?, FNMetaImpl?): function
Creates a new subclass of class sap.ui.model.odata.type.String 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.odata.type.ODataType.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.odata.type.String.getMetadata(): sap.ui.base.Metadata
Returns a metadata object for class sap.ui.model.odata.type.String.
Returns:
{sap.ui.base.Metadata} Metadata object describing this class
formatValue(sValue, sTargetType): string|number|boolean
Formats the given value to the given target type. If isDigitSequence constraint of this type is set to true and the target type is any or string and the given value contains only digits, the leading zeros are truncated.
Parameters:
{string}sValue the value to be formatted
{string}sTargetType the target type; may be "any", "boolean", "float", "int" or "string". See sap.ui.model.odata.type for more information.
Exceptions:
{sap.ui.model.FormatException} if sTargetType is unsupported or the string cannot be formatted to the target type
Returns:
{string|number|boolean} the formatted output value in the target type; undefined or null are formatted to null
getName(): string
Returns the type's name.
Returns:
{string} the type's name
parseValue(vValue, sSourceType): string
Parses the given value which is expected to be of the given type to a string. If isDigitSequence constraint of this type is set to true and the parsed string is a sequence of digits, then the parsed string is either enhanced with leading zeros, if maxLength constraint is given, or leading zeros are removed from parsed string.
Parameters:
{string|number|boolean}vValue the value to be parsed, maps "" to null
{string}sSourceType the source type (the expected type of vValue). See sap.ui.model.odata.type for more information.
Exceptions:
{sap.ui.model.ParseException} if sSourceType is unsupported
Returns:
{string} the parsed value
validateValue(sValue): void
Validates whether the given value in model representation is valid and meets the defined constraints.
Parameters:
{string}sValue the value to be validated
Exceptions:
{sap.ui.model.ValidateException} if the value is not valid
