UI5 Boilerplate Generator

Note: 🚧 This generator is under heavy development. Use at your own risk! 🚧

This generator is meant for use with Yeoman

Contributions are very welcome! ✌️

Installation

First, install Yeoman, generator-ui5-boilerplate and UI5 CLI using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-ui5-boilerplate
npm install -g @ui5/cli

Navigate to your workspace directory and then generate your new project. The generator will ask you a bunch of questions to build a comprehensive boilerplate project for you.

cd ~/workspace
yo ui5-boilerplate

After everything is set up navigate into the newly created project directory. You'll find a quick start guide in the project README.md file.

TODO

• Add unit and integration tests for Simple App template
• Add Master/Detail app template
• Add Flexible Column Layout app template
• Add Library template
• Add sub generators for views/controllers
• Add sub generator for control
• Add option to read metadata file from provided OData-Service
  • and output entities etc.
  • save metadata.xml file for mockserver use
• Add further tests for right file content
• Add select questions for documentation purposes (All SAP Roles, ...)
• Split app templates in base files and layout specific changes/additions (kill redundancy)
