TestApp

Description

This app demonstrates a standard setup for developing UI5 applications.

Requirements

Either npm or yarn for dependency management.

Preparation

Use npm (or yarn) to install the dependencies:

npm i

(To use yarn, just do yarn instead.)

Run the App

Execute the following command to run the app locally for development in watch mode (the browser reloads the app automatically when there are changes in the source code):

npm start

As shown in the terminal after executing this command, the app is then running on http://localhost:8080/index.html. A browser window with this URL should automatically open.

(When using yarn, do yarn start instead.)

Build the App

Unoptimized (but quick)

Execute the following command to build the project and get an app that can be deployed:

npm run build

The result is placed into the dist folder. To start the generated package, just run

npm run start:dist

Note that index.html still loads the UI5 framework from the relative URL resources/..., which does not physically exist, but is only provided dynamically by the UI5 tooling. So for an actual deployment you should change this URL to either the CDN or your local deployment of UI5.

(When using yarn, do yarn build and yarn start:dist instead.)

Optimized

For an optimized self-contained build (takes longer because the UI5 resources are built, too), do:

npm run build:opt

To start the generated package, again just run:

npm run start:dist

In this case, all UI5 framework resources are also available within the dist folder, so the folder can be deployed as-is to any static web server, without changing the bootstrap URL.

With the self-contained build, the bootstrap URL in index.html has already been modified to load the newly created sap-ui-custom.js for bootstrapping, which contains all app resources as well as all needed UI5 JavaScript resources. Most UI5 resources inside the dist folder are for this reason actually not needed to run the app. Only the non-JS-files, like translation texts and CSS files, are used and must also be deployed. (Only when for some reason JS files are missing from the optimized self-contained bundle, they are also loaded separately.)

(When using yarn, do yarn build:opt and yarn start:dist instead.)

Check the Code

To lint the code, do:

npm run lint

(Again, when using yarn, do yarn lint instead.)
