I've paid attention, in some UI5-samples, I can see press=".onCloseDialog", in another: press="onCloseDialog".
I mean, in some cases, the name of controller's method in XML-template is written with the leading dot and sometimes without. Is it a matter of a taste?
Is it a matter of a taste?
No. According to Addressing the Event Handler:
- Names starting with a dot ('.') are always assumed to represent a method in the controller. [...] These names are relative to the view/controller. For example,
press=".myLocalHandler"is resolved byattachPress(oController["myLocalHandler"], oController);.- Names without dot are interpreted as a relative name; if nothing is found, they are interpreted as an absolute name. This variant is only supported for backward compatibility.
--> See also the message from the commit 226bc69.
Use always press=".onCloseDialog" when referring to the controller method.
