Get path from property in m.table - sapui5

Question

I'm looking for a convenient method to get the path from a table cell.
Background: It is required to implement a search field allowing to filter on all columns of responsive table. Here, the path is needed as parameter for the filter object.
XML Code
<Table items="{path: 'modelName>pathPart1/pathPart2'}">
<headerToolbar>
<Toolbar>
<Title text="titleText"/>
<SearchField search="searchInTable"/>
</Toolbar>
</headerToolbar>
<columns>
<Column>
<Text text="column1"/>
</Column>
<Column>
<Text text="column2"/>
</Column>
</columns>
<ColumnListItem>
<Text text="{modelName>cellName1}"/>
<Text text="{modelName>cellName2}"/>
</ColumnListItem>
</Table>
Controller Logic
searchInTable: function(event) {
var table = event.getSource().getParent().getParent();
var query = event.getParameters("query");
table.getBinding("items").filter(this.getFilters(table, query));
},
getFilters: function(table, query) {
var aFilters = [];
var items = table.getItems();
// Loop through items aggregation and populate filter object
jQuery.each(items, function(i, oItem) {
// Get path from cells (e.g. cellName1)
var sPath = oItem.mAggregations.cells[i].mBindingInfos.text.binding.sPath;
var sOperator = FilterOperator.EQ;
var sValue1 = query;
var oFilter = new Filter(sPath, sOperator, sValue1);
aFilters.push(oFilter);
});
return aFilters;
},
Can we replace this part by a more convenient and robust method?
var sPath = oItem.mAggregations.cells[i].mBindingInfos.text.binding.sPath;
As you notice, I'm trying to receive the sPath going through the whole object. However, its not working in all cases as the structure of the object may change. I bet there is an better approach available. However, I struggling a bit here.
Any ideas?
Edit: I do like to get the path pointing to the text property in the table. In this samplle it would be: cellName2

Answer 1

I'm on the phone right now, so I can't test it, but it is something like this
oItem.getCells()[i].getBindingContext().getPath()
getCells() comes from the ColumnListItem API if I am not wrong.
The other two from the ODataListBinding API or something like that...
If you dive a bit in the API you will find it
EDIT: I think you should provide the model name when getting the context. But I don't remember well...
oItem.getCells()[i].getBindingContext("modelName").getPath()
Try both, with and without it...
EDIT2: Here you have the snippet http://jsbin.com/votaxiyedi/edit?html,output
And this what you need:
oItem.getBindingContext("odata").getPath() + "/" + oItem.getCells()[0].getBinding("text").getPath();
