CDS

All examples in these docs work without CDS. But on a recent ABAP release, you can also use this feature in abap2UI5 apps.

ABAP CDS

ABAP Core Data Services (CDS) let you define structured views and read data straight from the database. The example below fetches sales orders from the I_SalesOrder view of the Virtual Data Model (VDM) and shows them in a UI5 table:

CLASS z2ui5_cl_sample_cds DEFINITION PUBLIC.

  PUBLIC SECTION.
    INTERFACES z2ui5_if_app.
    DATA mt_salesorder TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF I_SalesOrder WITH EMPTY KEY.

ENDCLASS.

CLASS z2ui5_cl_sample_cds IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD z2ui5_if_app~main.

    IF client->check_on_init( ).

      SELECT FROM I_SalesOrder
       FIELDS salesorder, salesordertype, salesorganization
       INTO TABLE @mt_salesorder
       UP TO 10 ROWS.

      DATA(view) = z2ui5_cl_xml_view=>factory( )->page( ).
      DATA(table) = view->table( client->_bind( mt_salesorder ) ).
      table->columns(
           )->column( )->text( `SalesOrder` )->get_parent(
           )->column( )->text( `SalesOrderType` )->get_parent(
           )->column( )->text( `SalesOrganization` ).

      table->items( )->column_list_item( )->cells(
         )->text( `{SALESORDER}`
         )->text( `{SALESORDERTYPE}`
         )->text( `{SALESORGANIZATION}` ).

      client->view_display( view->stringify( ) ).

    ENDIF.

  ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
