导入JavaScript吗？

Question

I found a tutorial for SAPUI5 with XML. So I got now a index.html, a mainView.view.xml and a mainView.controller.js

In the controller I got a method for handling a button click.

sap.m.MessageToast.show("Hello");

But that it works I need to write "sap.m. [...]" everytime I want to call a method. Isn't there a way to import the sap.m lib so I can just write MessageToast.show ?

Answer 1

The current sapui5 documentation propagates the Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD) pattern for your javascript classes.

There you have to import all the needed classes explicitly one by one. But afterwards you can use them without namespace: MessageToast.show("Hello"); .

The advantage of the AMD pattern is that the needed resources can be loaded asynchronously from the server.

If you don't want to use AMD, RCs comment to your question is the way to go: var MessageToast = sap.m.MessageToast; or you could do something like var m = sap.m; m.MessageToast.show("hello"); var m = sap.m; m.MessageToast.show("hello"); but i would not recommend that.
