Button Control

Button in Component¶

The usage of the UIComponent enables the possibility to return a button with the usage of a ComponentContainer.
This has the big advantage that no separate dependency has to be installed, and a button for spreadsheet upload can be integrated very easily.

You can also use the button in Fiori Elements applications within a section of an object page (see Including Reuse Components on an Object Page).

Requirements¶

• Node.js Version v16.18.0, v18.12.0, or higher
• npm Version v8.0.0 or higher
• UI5 CLI v3.0.0 or higher

Getting started¶

1. Install from npm

npm install ui5-cc-spreadsheetimporter

2. Add resourceRoots to your manifest.json under sap.ui5

⚠️ You must always keep your ui5-cc-spreadsheetimporter and button version up to date here when updating the module.

"resourceRoots": {
    "cc.spreadsheetimporter.v0_34_1": "./thirdparty/customcontrol/spreadsheetimporter/v0_34_1"
}

3. Add components to your manifest.json under sap.ui5.dependencies

⚠️ You must always keep your ui5-cc-spreadsheetimporter version up to date here when updating the module.

"dependencies": {
  "minUI5Version": "1.108.30",
  "libs": {
    "sap.m": {},
    "sap.ui.core": {},
    "sap.f": {},
    "sap.ui.table": {}
  },
  "components": {
    "cc.spreadsheetimporter.v0_34_1": {}
  }
}

4. Add componentUsages to your manifest.json under sap.ui5

⚠️ You must always keep your ui5-cc-spreadsheetimporter version up to date here when updating the module.

"componentUsages": {
    "spreadsheetImporter": {
        "name": "cc.spreadsheetimporter.v0_34_1"
    }
}

5. Add the namespace core to your XML View

<mvc:View controllerName="ui.v2.ordersv2freestylenondraft.controller.UploadToTable"
  xmlns="sap.m"
  xmlns:semantic="sap.f.semantic"
  xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc"
  xmlns:core="sap.ui.core">
...
</mvc:View>

6. Add the core:ComponentContainer control to your view.

<core:ComponentContainer width="100%" 
usage="spreadsheetImporter" propagateModel="true" 
async="true"/>

Define Configuration Options¶

You can set configuration options for the spreadsheet importer in the settings property of the core:ComponentContainer control.
For special configuration options for the ComponantContainer, see Configuration.

<core:ComponentContainer width="100%" 
usage="spreadsheetImporter" propagateModel="true" async="true" 
settings="{
  standalone:true,
  columns: ['product_ID', 'username'],
  componentContainerData:{
    uploadButtonPress:'uploadButtonPress',
    buttonText:'Excel Upload'
    }
  }" />

Example App¶

Freestyle OData V2¶

XML View: Detail.view.xml
Controller: Detail.controller.js

Freestyle OData V2 Standalone¶

XML View: UploadToTable.view.xml
Controller: UploadToTable.controller.js

Including Reuse Components on an Object Page¶

You can also use the button in Fiori Elements applications within a section of an object page.
You can define this in the manifest.json under sap.ui.generic.app in the pages property.

The configuration is documented in the UI5 documentation.

A sample configuration can be found in the manifest.json of the OData V4 Fiori Elements app

"body": {
  "sections": {
    "customSectionReuse": {
      "title": "Spreadsheet Upload",
      "embeddedComponent": {
        "name": "cc.spreadsheetimporter.v0_34_1",
        "settings": {
          "tableId": "ui.v4.ordersv4fe::OrdersObjectPage--fe::table::Items::LineItem-innerTable"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
