Advanced Concepts for OpenUI5 Components

Advanced concepts for components include routing and navigation and component data as
well as the event bus.
The following advanced concepts for components exist.
• Routing and navigation

UI components support the routing and navigation concept, see Initializing and
Accessing a Routing Instance.

• Extensibility and customizing

The extensibility and customizing concept allows you to extend and modify
components in order to replace and extend the views and controllers as well as to
modify the views. A customization can be performed, for example, on a custom
application that extends a delivered standard application.

For more information, see Extending Apps

• Component data

The JSON object ComponentData contains any initial values of parameters that can be
used in the createComponent() method. Component data are already available for use
in the createComponent() method, but not the parameters. The parameters are
available in the onBefore, the onAfterRendering and the setter methods of the
parameters.

Component data is provided from outside and can be configured as desired.

Configuration data is static and defined in the component. To change or extend the
configuration, the component needs to be extended and a new configuration has to be
created and merged with the configuration in the parent component.

• Event bus of the component

The local event bus belongs to the component and can be used by all children of this
component. Once a component instance is destroyed, the listeners registered in the
event bus are destroyed automatically. For more information, see API Reference for
the getEventBus method of sap.ui.core.Component.
