description

Fix deprecated `sap.ui.table.Table` row properties that UI5 linter reports but cannot auto-fix. Use this skill when linter outputs: - `no-deprecated-api` with messages about `visibleRowCountMode`, `visibleRowCount`, `rowHeight`, `fixedRowCount`, `fixedBottomRowCount`, or `minAutoRowCount` Trigger on: deprecated row-related properties on sap.ui.table.Table in JS or XML, modernization to rowMode aggregation. Converts deprecated flat properties to a structured `rowMode` aggregation using `sap.ui.table.rowmodes.Fixed`, `Interactive`, or `Auto`.

Fix Table Row Mode (no-deprecated-api)

This skill fixes deprecated row-related properties on sap.ui.table.Table that the UI5 linter detects but cannot auto-fix. The modernization replaces flat properties with a structured rowMode aggregation.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT modernize sap.ui.table.Table to sap.m.Table — they are not equivalent.

Linter Rule

Rule ID	Message Pattern
no-deprecated-api	Use of deprecated property 'visibleRowCountMode' of class 'sap.ui.table.Table'
no-deprecated-api	Use of deprecated property 'visibleRowCount' of class 'sap.ui.table.Table'
no-deprecated-api	Use of deprecated property 'rowHeight' of class 'sap.ui.table.Table'
no-deprecated-api	Use of deprecated property 'fixedRowCount' of class 'sap.ui.table.Table'
no-deprecated-api	Use of deprecated property 'fixedBottomRowCount' of class 'sap.ui.table.Table'
no-deprecated-api	Use of deprecated property 'minAutoRowCount' of class 'sap.ui.table.Table'

Property Mapping

Deprecated Property on Table	New Property on RowMode	Notes
visibleRowCountMode	(Determines RowMode class)	"Fixed" → rowmodes:Fixed, "Interactive" → rowmodes:Interactive, "Auto" → rowmodes:Auto
visibleRowCount	rowCount	Used in Fixed and Interactive mode
minAutoRowCount	minRowCount	Used only in Auto mode
rowHeight	rowContentHeight	Name change
fixedRowCount	fixedTopRowCount	Name change (Top added)
fixedBottomRowCount	fixedBottomRowCount	No change

RowMode Class Selection

Choose based on the old visibleRowCountMode value:

• "Fixed" (or not set — this is the default) → rowmodes:Fixed
• "Interactive" → rowmodes:Interactive
• "Auto" → rowmodes:Auto

Pre-Modernization Safety Check

If a property set on the Table doesn't exist on the selected RowMode class (e.g., minAutoRowCount on a Fixed mode table), this indicates possible dynamic row mode switching. Abort modernization for that table and flag for manual review.

Fix Strategy — XML Views

Step 1: Add XML Namespace

Add to the root <mvc:View> tag:

xmlns:rowmodes="sap.ui.table.rowmodes"

Step 2: Remove Deprecated Properties and Add rowMode Aggregation

Before (Fixed mode):

<table:Table
    rows="{/Products}"
    visibleRowCountMode="Fixed"
    visibleRowCount="5"
    fixedRowCount="1"
    fixedBottomRowCount="2"
    rowHeight="30">
    <table:columns>...</table:columns>
</table:Table>

After:

<table:Table
    rows="{/Products}">
    <table:rowMode>
        <rowmodes:Fixed
            rowCount="5"
            fixedTopRowCount="1"
            fixedBottomRowCount="2"
            rowContentHeight="30"/>
    </table:rowMode>
    <table:columns>...</table:columns>
</table:Table>

Before (Interactive mode):

<table:Table
    rows="{/Products}"
    visibleRowCountMode="Interactive"
    visibleRowCount="10"
    rowHeight="25">

After:

<table:Table
    rows="{/Products}">
    <table:rowMode>
        <rowmodes:Interactive
            rowCount="10"
            rowContentHeight="25"/>
    </table:rowMode>

Before (Auto mode):

<table:Table
    rows="{/Items}"
    visibleRowCountMode="Auto"
    minAutoRowCount="3">

After:

<table:Table
    rows="{/Items}">
    <table:rowMode>
        <rowmodes:Auto minRowCount="3"/>
    </table:rowMode>

Fix Strategy — JavaScript

Step 1: Add RowMode Import

Add the appropriate class to sap.ui.define:

• "sap/ui/table/rowmodes/Fixed" for Fixed mode
• "sap/ui/table/rowmodes/Interactive" for Interactive mode
• "sap/ui/table/rowmodes/Auto" for Auto mode

Step 2: Replace Properties with rowMode

Before:

sap.ui.define([
    "sap/ui/table/Table"
], function(Table) {
    var oTable = new Table({
        visibleRowCountMode: "Interactive",
        visibleRowCount: 10,
        rowHeight: 25
    });
});

After:

sap.ui.define([
    "sap/ui/table/Table",
    "sap/ui/table/rowmodes/Interactive"
], function(Table, InteractiveRowMode) {
    var oTable = new Table({
        rowMode: new InteractiveRowMode({
            rowCount: 10,
            rowContentHeight: 25
        })
    });
});

Also handle setter-based patterns:

Before:

oTable.setVisibleRowCountMode("Fixed");
oTable.setVisibleRowCount(8);
oTable.setFixedRowCount(2);
oTable.setRowHeight(40);

After:

// Import: "sap/ui/table/rowmodes/Fixed"
oTable.setRowMode(new FixedRowMode({
    rowCount: 8,
    fixedTopRowCount: 2,
    rowContentHeight: 40
}));

Implementation Steps

1. Run linter with --details to identify all affected Table instances
2. For each Table, determine the RowMode class from visibleRowCountMode (default: "Fixed")
3. Safety check: Verify all deprecated properties are compatible with the chosen RowMode class
4. XML views: Add xmlns:rowmodes="sap.ui.table.rowmodes" namespace, remove deprecated properties, add <rowMode> aggregation
5. JavaScript: Add RowMode import, create RowMode instance with mapped properties, set via constructor or setRowMode()
6. Verify by re-running the linter

RowMode Properties Reference

Mode	Available Properties
Fixed	rowCount, fixedTopRowCount, fixedBottomRowCount, rowContentHeight
Interactive	rowCount, rowContentHeight
Auto	minRowCount, fixedTopRowCount, fixedBottomRowCount, rowContentHeight

Notes

• If visibleRowCountMode is not set, the default was "Fixed" — use rowmodes:Fixed
• The <table:rowMode> aggregation goes inside <table:Table>, alongside <table:columns>
• In XML, always use the rowmodes: namespace prefix for RowMode elements
• Both old and new APIs are synchronous — no async handling needed
