Chart Extensions

You can define custom actions for a chart by configuring the annotation and manifest.json file in SAP Fiori elements for OData V2.

onBeforeRebindChartExtension

Use the onBeforeRebindChartExtension chart support controller extension to define application-specific actions. This allows you to bind additional parameters, such as custom filters or chart queries.

In the manifest.json file, define the sap.ui.controllerExtensions and extend the ALP controller sap.suite.ui.generic.template.AnalyticalListPage.view.AnalyticalListPage as shown in the following sample code:

"sap.ui5": {
    ...
    "extends": {
        "extensions": {
            "sap.ui.controllerExtensions": {
                "sap.suite.ui.generic.template.AnalyticalListPage.view.AnalyticalListPage": {
                    "controllerName": "sap.poc.ftu.apps.alr.ext.controller.AnalyticalListPageExt",
                    "sap.ui.generic.app": {
                        // …
                        // …
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Define the extended behavior in the extension method. This enables ALP to pass the event object for extracting controls and other details.

sap.ui.define([], function() {
    return {
        onBeforeRebindChartExtension: function(oEvent) {
            alert('onBeforeRebindChartExtension called!');
        }
    }
})
