Model Naming

The standard view model is very often unnamed in all the Walkthrough tutorials:

var oData = {
  recipient: {
    firstName: "John",
    lastName: "Doe",
  },
};
var oModel = new JSONModel(oData);
this.getView().setModel(oModel); // <-- No naming here!

Then, inside the corresponding view XML, model data may be referenced like so:

<Title text="Hello {/recipient/firstName} {/recipient/lastName}" />

In large projects with diverse models inside many views and controllers, its often very helpful to quickly lookup the usage of a certain model. In such cases it would really save a lot time if the model had a proper naming:

this.getView().setModel(oModel, "DisplayModel"); // <-- Example of a proper name

Then, inside the view XML, it would be:

<Title text="Hello {DisplayModel>/recipient/firstName} {DisplayModel>/recipient/lastName}" />
