Bind Paginator to model?
I was wondering if anyone had tried binding a Paginator to a model, to have the numberOfPages automatically set to the number of entries in the model's row set.
As an example, I'd developed a simple Panel/HTML representation of my weblog posts (in preparation for "Re-presenting my site in SAPUI5") and then added a Paginator at the top to page through the posts. It looks like this:
In order to work out what value to set the numberOfPages to, I ended up using jQuery to parse the source XML that the Model had consumed, and count the number of 'entry' elements. You can see the code here: https://github.com/qmacro/sapui5bin/blob/master/snippets/model_to_html.html#L31
I noticed in the docu that the Paginator inherits a number of bind methods from sap.ui.core.Element, and was curious to see whether binding a Paginator could auto-set the numberOfPages according to the data.
Anyone tried this?
