Formatters

Data presented on the UI often has to be converted so that it is human readable. For this purpose we provide formatters. Formatters are means to define the formatting of data on the UI. They can be found in namespace called format and used in the manifest via expression binding, for e.g. {= format.dateTime()}.

One of the subsets of JavaScript functions available in UI5 is encodeURIComponent.

List of supported formatters, that can be found under format namespace:

• Currency
• Date and Time
• Float
