Interface: UI5ControlBase

Defined in: src/core/types/controls.ts:36

Base interface all UI5 controls extend.

Remarks​

Maps to sap.ui.core.Element / sap.ui.core.Control base methods. All methods return Promise<T> because they execute via the bridge adapter in the browser context.

Example​

import type { UI5ControlBase } from '#core/types/controls.js';

async function logControl(control: UI5ControlBase): Promise<void> {
  const id = await control.getId();
  const type = await control.getControlType();
  logger.info(`${type}#${id}`);
}

Indexable​

[method: string]: any

Dynamic method access — the proxy forwards any UI5 method call to the bridge.

Remarks​

UI5 controls have hundreds of methods (getters, setters, actions) that vary by control type. The runtime Proxy intercepts property access and routes it through page.evaluate(). This index signature allows TypeScript to accept any method call without requiring explicit type narrowing.

any is required here because the Proxy returns heterogeneous types per property: string for id/controlType, undefined for anti-thenable, and (...args) => Promise for dynamic methods. No single non-any type can express this while remaining compatible with the typed members above.

Example​

const button = await ui5.control({ id: 'btn1' });
await button.press();           // sap.m.Button method
await button.getText();         // sap.m.Button method
const table = await ui5.control({ id: 'tbl1' });
const rows = await table.getRows();  // sap.ui.table.Table method

Properties​

controlType​

readonly controlType: string

Defined in: src/core/types/controls.ts:38

Fully qualified control type, e.g., 'sap.m.Button'.

id​

readonly id: string

Defined in: src/core/types/controls.ts:40

Control ID assigned in the UI5 view or generated.

Methods​

getAggregation()​

getAggregation(name): Promise<readonly UI5ControlBase[]>

Defined in: src/core/types/controls.ts:56

Returns controls in a named aggregation.

Parameters​

name​

string

Returns​

Promise<readonly UI5ControlBase[]>

getBindingInfo()​

getBindingInfo(name): Promise<unknown>

Defined in: src/core/types/controls.ts:58

Returns binding info for a named property.

Parameters​

name​

string

Returns​

Promise<unknown>

getControlType()​

getControlType(): Promise<string>

Defined in: src/core/types/controls.ts:50

Returns the fully qualified control type name.

Returns​

Promise<string>

Remarks​

Praman proxy convenience — equivalent to getMetadata().getName() in native UI5.

getDomRef()​

getDomRef(): Promise<Element | null>

Defined in: src/core/types/controls.ts:60

Returns the DOM reference element, or null if not rendered.

Returns​

Promise<Element | null>

getId()​

getId(): Promise<string>

Defined in: src/core/types/controls.ts:43

Returns the control's ID.

Returns​

Promise<string>

getModel()​

getModel(name?): Promise<unknown>

Defined in: src/core/types/controls.ts:66

Returns the named model, or the default model if no name given.

Parameters​

name?​

string

Returns​

Promise<unknown>

getProperty()​

getProperty(name): Promise<unknown>

Defined in: src/core/types/controls.ts:52

Gets a named property value.

Parameters​

name​

string

Returns​

Promise<unknown>

getVisible()​

getVisible(): Promise<boolean>

Defined in: src/core/types/controls.ts:62

Returns whether the control is visible (getVisible() on sap.ui.core.Control).

Returns​

Promise<boolean>

isBound()​

isBound(propertyName): Promise<boolean>

Defined in: src/core/types/controls.ts:64

Returns whether a property is data-bound.

Parameters​

propertyName​

string

Returns​

Promise<boolean>

setProperty()​

setProperty(name, value): Promise<void>

Defined in: src/core/types/controls.ts:54

Sets a named property value.

Parameters​

name​

string

value​

unknown

Returns​

Promise<void>
