SAPUI5 formatter parameter value is always null - sapui5

Question

I am trying to add an icon to my table column. The icon should be selected depending on the value. Therefore I implemented some formatter function which is based in the model/formatter.js file.
Here is the code I try to add the the table column:
new sap.ui.layout.VerticalLayout({
content: [
new sap.m.Label({text:"{Items>Status}"}),
new sap.ui.core.Icon({
src: {
parts: [
"Items>Status"
],
formatter: Formatter.formatStatusIcon
},
size: "1rem",
color: {
parts: [
"Items>Status"
],
formatter: Formatter.formatStatusIconColor
}
})
]
})
The label does display the correct value. The icon is not displayed. The formatter function has as input value always null even though the values exist and are not null. I am using SAPUI5 version 1.61.2. I already tried different syntaxes of the parts property but none of them did work. I also tried adding some static value instead of "Items>Status" for testing purpose but the input in the formatter function is still null.
Has anyone an idea why the input of the formatter function is always null?

Answer 1

Based on the your input, I have understood that you have a JS view and your are changing the Icon and its color based on the status
View.js
var oTable = new sap.m.Table("idPrdList", {
headerText : "List of Products",
headerDesign : sap.m.ListHeaderDesign.Standard,
mode : sap.m.ListMode.None,
includeItemInSelection : false,
});
var col1 = new sap.m.Column({header: new sap.m.Label({text:"Product Name"})});
oTable.addColumn(col1);
var col2 = new sap.m.Column({header: new sap.m.Label({text:"Description"})});
oTable.addColumn(col2);
var col3 = new sap.m.Column({header: new sap.m.Label({text:"Price"})});
oTable.addColumn(col3);
controller.js
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
oModel.setData({
'items': [
{
'ProductID': "sdf",
'ProductName': "asdf",
"Status": "1"
},
{
'ProductID': "ss",
'ProductName': "asf",
"Status": "1"
},
{
'ProductID': "fff",
'ProductName': "asdf",
"Status": "2"
},
{
'ProductID': "fas",
'ProductName': "asdf",
"Status": "1"
},
{
'ProductID': "asdfa",
'ProductName': "asdfwer",
"Status": "2"
}]
});
sap.ui.getCore().setModel(oModel, "tableData");
var oTable = sap.ui.getCore().byId("idPrdList");
var colItems = new sap.m.ColumnListItem("colItems", {
type: "Active"
});
var txtNAME = new sap.m.Text({
text: "{tableData>ProductID}"
});
colItems.addCell(txtNAME);
var txtNAME2 = new sap.m.Text({
text: "{tableData>ProductName}"
});
colItems.addCell(txtNAME2);
var txtNAME3 = new sap.ui.layout.VerticalLayout({
content: [
new sap.m.Label({
text: "{tableData>Status}"
}),
new sap.ui.core.Icon({
src: {
parts: ["tableData>Status"],
formatter: assets.util.mFormatter.formatStatusIcon
},
size: "1rem",
color: {
parts: ["tableData>Status"],
formatter: assets.util.mFormatter.formatStatusIconColor
}
})
]
})
colItems.addCell(txtNAME3);
oTable.bindAggregation("items", "tableData>/items", colItems);
oTable.setModel(oModel, "tableData");
Formatter.js
jQuery.sap.declare("assets.util.mFormatter");
assets.util.mFormatter = {
formatStatusIcon: function(Status) {
return (Status === "2" ? "ICONPath1" : "ICONPath2");
},
formatStatusIconColor: function(Status) {
return (Status === "2" ? "Color1" : "Color2");
},
};

Answer 2

Your syntax is wrong I think. Remove that parts stuff.
Try this:
src="{path: 'invoice>Status',
formatter: '.Formatter.statusText'}

Answer 3

Try this syntax below :
new sap.ui.layout.VerticalLayout({
content: [
new sap.m.Label({text:"{Items>Status}"}),
new sap.ui.core.Icon({
src: {
parts: [
{path: 'Items>Status'}
],
formatter: '.Formatter.formatStatusIcon'
},
size: "1rem",
color: {
parts: [
"Items>Status"
],
formatter: Formatter.formatStatusIconColor
}
})
]
})
