title: How to get the value of a parameter from the url to pass on to the event handler
body: <p>I have a business requirement where in i am developing a sapui5 employee leave application deployed in HCP using cloud based sap webide tool.</p>
  
  <p>Two types of employees will access this application using two different url with parameters either 'IT' or 'BPO':</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://webidetesting453789-inf98834.dispatcher.int.sap.hana.ondemand.com/webapp/index.html#/IT
  
  https://webidetesting453789-inf98834.dispatcher.int.sap.hana.ondemand.com/webapp/index.html#/BPO
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Backend : I have developed a REST service which is giving me the employee details in jSON format when i do a GET request using the following url either for IT or BPO specific employees like:
  /irc.com/ircit/empleave/rest/empleave/item/requestor/IT
  or
  /irc.com/ircit/empleave/rest/empleave/item/requestor/BPO
  View: I have used a xml view MyRequest which will shows me requests from either IT or BPO in a tabular format.</p>
  
  <p>And a Create view (XML view) with drop downs which is populated from a 'valueHelp' model and the page title etc changes based on the parameter which is either 'IT' or 'BPO'.</p>
  
  <p>I have a create button in the footer of 'MyRequest' view which will call the Create view.</p>
  
  <p>Requirement:</p>
  
  <p>when i access the link
  <a href="https://webidetesting453789-inf98834.dispatcher.int.sap.hana.ondemand.com/webapp/index.html#/IT" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://webidetesting453789-inf98834.dispatcher.int.sap.hana.ondemand.com/webapp/index.html#/IT</a></p>
  
  <p>I am getting all the requests for IT employees and same for BPO in the MyRequest view</p>
  
  <p>But my requirement is in the same MyRequest view when i click the create button it should fetch the url parameter i.e either IT or BPO and navigate to the Create view with that url parameter so that i can set the valuehelp model and change the page title and name of ui components accordingly.</p>
  
  <p>RouterConfiguration.</p>

  <p>Please suggest me how to modify the create controller and MyRequest controller so that i get the value  IT or BPO from the url</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://webidetesting453789-inf98834.dispatcher.int.sap.hana.ondemand.com/webapp/index.html#/IT
  
  or
  
  https://webidetesting453789-inf98834.dispatcher.int.sap.hana.ondemand.com/webapp/index.html#/BPO
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and pass it on with the event onCreatePress() when create button is pressed so that i can navigate to the Create view and load the corresponding valueHelp model along with setting the page title and other ui components .</p>
