Declarative support questions - sapui5

I am trying to add an htmlview (which is using declarative support according to SAP's docs) to an index page that is also using declarative support. Using data-sap-ui-type="ui.MyView" makes me to ask two questions:
Is there any equivalent to sap.ui.localResources in declarative support?
data-ui-type is not adding the view.html suffix to the view that should be laoded. Is there a special pattern for MVC in declarative support or is there currently no way to implement it?
Kind regards,
Nico

find some basic samples here:
https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/#docs/guide/MVC.html
First of all I believe that you always have to set sap.ui.localResources in code.
As you can see instanciating a HTMLView from an HTMLView goes like this:
<div data-sap-ui-type="sap.ui.core.mvc.HTMLView" id="MyHTMLView" data-view-name="example.mvc.test2"></div>
This will load example.mvc.test2.view.html and place it into your parent view.
Generally speaking the JS API translates into HTMLViews like this:
new sap.ui.AnyControl("myId", {
aLittleProperty: "10",
property: false,
press: functionInMyController,
morePress: a.static.myFunction,
defaultAggregation: [
new sap.ui.OtherControl("otherId1"),
new sap.ui.OtherControl("otherId2")
],
anotherAggregation: new sap.ui.OtherControl("otherId3")
}).addStyleClass("myClass");
<div data-sap-ui-type="sap.ui.AnyControl"
id="myId"
class="myClass"
data-a-little-property="10",
data-property="false"
data-press="functionInMyController"
data-more-press="a.static.myFunction">
<div data-sap-ui-type="sap.ui.OtherControl" id="otherId1"></div>
<div data-sap-ui-type="sap.ui.OtherControl" id="otherId2"></div>
<div data-sap-ui-aggregation="anotherAggregation">
<div data-sap-ui-type="sap.ui.OtherControl" id="otherId3"></div>
</div>
</div>
Note that:
The id and CSS classes are set with the regular HTML attributes
Property names translate from camelCase to lower-case separated with "-" (due to the fact that HTML is not case-sensitive)
No matter what type the property is you of course have to put it in quotes in HTML
Whatever you put directly inside a HTML-defined control is considered to belong into it's default aggregation

Conditional processing within a Sightly/HTL component dependent upon position within a page

I've recently begun as an Ops dev on an AEM project, and we have a component (a table, that has a title, some copy and a field where the author can author some HTML to represent the contents of a table, with and elements. This, for whatever reason, has to sit within a component, called ArticleContainer. The title should have an H1 tag if the table is at the top of the page, and an H2 tag if it's anywhere lower down. I've tried using data-sly-test thus:
<sly data-sly-test.topOfPage="${table.firstPosition==true}">
<h1 data-sly-test="${table.headerCopy}" class="heading fontH2 headingLinear headingThick">
<span class="tableHeadingWrapper">${table.headerCopy # context='html'}</span>
</h1>
</sly>
<sly data-sly-test="${!topOfPage}">
<h2 data-sly-test="${table.headerCopy}" class="heading fontH2 headingLinear headingThick">
<span class="tableHeadingWrapper">${table.headerCopy # context='html'}</span>
</h2>
</sly>
Now, this kind of processing has worked elsewhere where the component doesn't sit within a container, but it seems that if it's in a container it always picks up the non-topOfPage condition. I assume there might be a way to maybe do the test within the container component & pass it down into the table component? How would one go about this, or if it's not possible, is there another method by which one might achieve this?
There are two things here:
What does table.firstPosition return? You should be able to debug this in your Sling Model or POJO and probably need to adjust the logic to account for intermediary containers.
HTL/Sightly has a data-sly-element that allows you to change the HTML element based on an expression, you could make your code shorter (and easier to maintain):
<h1 data-sly-test="${table.headerCopy}" data-sly-element="${table.firstPosition ? 'h1' : 'h2'}" class="heading fontH2 headingLinear headingThick">
<span class="tableHeadingWrapper">${table.headerCopy # context='html'}</span>
</h1>

Bootstrap validator form plugin: how to change feedback icons

The bootstrap validator plugin helps validating the form fields providing a bunch of cool features. One of those features are the feedback icons, which defaults to glyphicon.
Suppose I want to replace glyphicon with font awesome.
The documentation says they can be changed by passing a "feedback" JSON object as data attribute or via JavaScript.
Via JavaScript it's easy. But as data attribute, it is unclear where and how exactly add it, because simply adding:
feedback: {
success: 'fa-check',
error: 'fa-times'
}
as data attribute to the <form> or the <div class="form-group"> or the <input> itself it doesn't work.
After some time struggling with it, I realized that the JSON feedback object should be added to the element and also it needs to be added using this syntax (which was not specified in the docs):
<form ... data-feedback='{"success": "fa-check", "error": "fa-times"}'>
Note the quotes syntax.
Also, if we are not just changing the glyphicon but replacing it with a font-awesome one (like in my example), in the <div class="form-group"> we need to replace:
<span class="glyphicon form-control-feedback" aria-hidden="true"></span>
with:
<span class="fa form-control-feedback" aria-hidden="true"></span>
This is not very well documented, and I could not make it work. I ended up using a different form validator which accomplish the same functionality and it's easier to configure success/error formats using bootstrap classes:
var validator = $('#submitForm').validate({
validClass: "is-valid",
errorClass: "is-invalid",

how to convert the jsp script to slightly. Also where can i get the slightly full documentation for the available tags usage

How to convert the <% String rootpath =currentPage.getAbsoluteParent(3).getPath(); %> code into the SLIGHTLY tag for printing the rootpath value.
Example i can get the currentpage children by using <ul data-sly-list.first="${currentPage.listChildren}">
<li>${child.title}</li>
</ul>
Also where can i get the slightly full documentation for the available tags usage ?
In short, it is not possible.
Sightly is more of a templating language and all your business logic should be achieved either through a Java or Javascript Use API.
To achieve this, you can either use a JS Use API (a simplest example shown below,a file named helper.js residing in the same directory as my sightly HTML).
use(function () {
return {
rootPath: currentPage.getAbsoluteParent(2).getPath()
};
});
And then you can use this in your sightly file as shown below.
<div data-sly-use.helper="helper.js">
${helper.rootPath}
</div>
And additionally, your example list wouldn't run because you have created an object first whereas you are referring to child within the list. It should be
<ul data-sly-list.child="${currentPage.listChildren}">
<li>${child.title}</li>
</ul>
The full documentation of Sightly can be found here. You can get the introduction to Sightly through this experience delivers blogs. The entire Sightly specification can be found here.

Zend Frameword 2: How to set a html link (img) in a legend of the fieldset?

I used zf2 to design a website.
And the form is something like this:
$this->add(array
'options'=>array(
'label'=> 'title1'))
And finally it shows like this:
<form>
<fieldset>
<legend>title1</legend>
<label>****</label>
</fielset>
</form>
Now, I wanna add a link or an image after the title1, for example:
<form>
<fieldset>
<legend>title1<a href=''>link</a></legend>
<label>****</label>
</fielset>
</form>
How can I do this?
You can't. Well, at least not without overwriting the specific ViewHelper (probably formCollection()). In ZF2 all Labels are run through the Zend\View\Helper\EscapeHtml ViewHelper. Therefore using any sort of HTML inside Labels is not supported in any way.
While going by specification it may be allowed to use inline-elements inside the <legend> Element, semantically it looks a little different. The <legend> shall do nothing but to describe the contents of the <fieldset>.
Anyways, opinions aside, as i've mentioned, you'll have to overwrite the ViewHelper and then skip the use of the EscapeHtml ViewHelper, as it's done in this line of the formCollection() Code

In Tritium, how do I transform all <p> tags to <div> tags?

I’m working in the Moovweb SDK and am optimizing my personal desktop site for mobile.
How do I transform all my <p> tags to <div> tags? I really don't want to do it manually! Search and replace?? haha
You can use the name() function to change the name of an element. For example:
$("//p") {
name("div")
}
See it in action here: http://tester.tritium.io/bd1be4f2c187aed317351688e23f01127d26343a
Cheap way: Add p{margin:0} to your CSS, this will remove the only special styling of <p> tags making them look like <div>s.
This is only a visual effect, though. For instance, you're still not allowed to put a <form> inside a <p>, even with the above CSS. If that's what you're after, a simple search and replace will do:
Replace <p> with <div>
Replace <p␣ (left angle, p, space) with <div␣ (there's a space at the end of that one too)
Replace </p> with </div>
That should do it!
