sap.m.Table - Vertical Scrolling with Fixed Header

Question

I have one table having lots of data. Now I want to scroll vertically with table header fixed. can I achieve this?

Here is my code:

 onInit: function() {
   var data = new JSONModel("Model/data.json");
   this.getView().setModel(data);
   var otable = this.getView().byId("PlaceIt");
   otable.bindItems("/employees", new ColumnListItem({
     cells: [
       new Text({
         text: "{name}"
       }),
       new Text({
         text: "{Physics}"
       }),
       new Text({
         text: "{Chemistry}"
       }),
       new Text({
         text: "{Maths}"
       }),
       new Text({
         text: "{English}"
       })
     ]
   }));
   otable.setModel(data);
   var oScrollContainer = new ScrollContainer({
     height: "100px",
     vertical: true,
     focusable: true,
     content: [oTableItems]
   });
 },

<Table id="PlaceIt">
  <columns>
    <Column>
      <Text text="Student Name" />
    </Column>
    <Column>
      <Text text="Physics" />
    </Column>
    <Column>
      <Text text="Chemistry" />
    </Column>
    <Column>
      <Text text="Maths" />
    </Column>
    <Column>
      <Text text="English" />
    </Column>
  </columns>
  <!-- ... -->
</Table>

I tried using sap.m.ScrollContainer control but I'm not getting anything.

Here is a demo.

Answer 1

As of v1.54, the property sticky is publicly available.

sticky
Defines the section of the sap.m.Table control that remains fixed at the top of the page during vertical scrolling as long as the table is in the viewport.

Once its value is set to "ColumnHeaders", the headers will stay fixed while scrolling.

Be aware that this feature is supported only by modern browsers.

• Demo: https://jsbin.com/ticivew/edit?js,output
• Property description

• Other sticky options^v1.56 - The syntax for assigning multiple values in XMLView looks as follows:

  <Table sticky="HeaderToolbar,InfoToolbar,ColumnHeaders">
  

Answer 2

Not sure why you don't want to use sap.m.Table, but here's an example nonetheless:

sap.ui.controller("view1.initial", {
    onInit : function(oEvent) {
        var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
        oModel.setData({
            data : [
                {
                    "col1": "at curabitur vestibulum",
                    "col2": "porttitor pharetra rutrum",
                    "col3": 93
                },
                {
                    "col1": "hendrerit dui fringilla",
                    "col2": "adipiscing suspendisse lorem",
                    "col3": 36
                },
                {
                    "col1": "placerat vel placerat",
                    "col2": "suspendisse quis sit",
                    "col3": 9
                },

                    "col2": "dui tempor nunc",

                {
                    "col1": "scelerisque curabitur orci",
                    "col2": "sit sollicitudin amet",
                    "col3": 16
                },
                {

Answer 3

You will need two tables. First table will have only columns and second will contain items to be displayed with empty column headers.

Second table will be the content of ScrollContainer.

Answer 4

To get your own example working, you have to use a ScrollContainer wrapped around the table with vertical="true" and height set to some value. And you need the attribute sticky="ColumnHeaders" on the table itself.

Here is the code from your JS Bin example modified to work:

jQuery.sap.require("sap.m.MessageToast");

// Controller definition
sap.ui.controller("local.controller", {

  onInit: function() {
    var data = [{
      name: "asd",
      amount: "100",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "L"
    }, {
      name: "asd",
      amount: "800",
      currency: "INR",
      size: "XL"
    }, {
      name: "asd",
      amount: "454",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "S"

    },{
      name: "asd",
      amount: "454",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "S"

    },{
      name: "asd",
      amount: "454",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "S"

    },{
      name: "asd",
      amount: "454",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "S"

    },{
      name: "asd",
      amount: "454",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "S"

    },{
      name: "asd",
      amount: "454",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "S"

    },{
      name: "asd",
      amount: "454",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "S"

    },{
      name: "asd",
      amount: "454",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "S"

    },{
      name: "asd",
      amount: "454",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "S"

    },{
      name: "asd",
      amount: "454",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "S"

    },{
      name: "asd",
      amount: "454",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "S"

    },{
      name: "asd",
      amount: "454",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "S"

    },{
      name: "asd",
      amount: "454",
      currency: "USD",
      size: "S"

    }];
    var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel(data);
    this.getView().setModel(oModel);
    var table = this.getView().byId("tableid");
    var mytemplate = new sap.m.ColumnListItem({
      cells: [
        new sap.m.Text({
          text: "{name}"
        }), new sap.m.Text({
          text: "{amount}"
        }), new sap.m.Text({
          text: "{currency}"
        }), new sap.m.Text({
          text: "{size}"
        })
      ]
    });
          table.bindAggregation("items",{
          path: "/",
          template : mytemplate
          });
    
  }
});

// Instantiate the View, assign a model and display
var oView = sap.ui.xmlview({
  viewContent: jQuery('#view1').html()
});
oView.placeAt('content');
