Using Complex Syntax to Define a Formatter

A formatter can be defined either globally, for the entire application, or in your controller.

Define a formatter as follows:

• Defining a formatter in controller.js:

  myFormatter: function(sName) {
          return sName.toUpperCase();
      },
      
  myGenderFormatter: function(sGender) {
          var sValue = "Mr.";
          if (sGender === "female") {
              sValue = "Mrs.";
          }
          return sValue;  
      }
  

• Defining a global formatter in the SAPUI5 application:

  <script type="text/javascript">
      // define a global formatter function
      var my = {};
      my.globalFormatter = function(iDay,iMonth,iYear) {
            return iDay + "/" + iMonth + "/" + iYear;
      } 
            ...
