A repository showcasing the UI5 Tooling ecosystem idea.
This repository showcases the endless possibilities of the UI5 Tooling. The UI5 Tooling extensibility (tasks and middleware) can be used to combine various OSS tools for UI5 application development. This increases the development experience and efficiency and also allows to use well-known tools.
The content of the repository is structured in packages and showcases. The packages folder includes the tooling extensions implementations and the showcases includes the demo applications, libraries and modules.
The following list provides an overview of the available tooling extensions in this repository:
packages
├── karma-ui5-transpile // karma preprocessor: transpile sources using ui5-tooling-transpile
├── ui5-middleware-cfdestination // middleware extension: use the approuter as proxy
├── ui5-middleware-iasync // middleware extension: sync UI interaction across browsers (alpha! careful!)
├── ui5-middleware-index // middleware extension: serve an HTML file for / (root)
├── ui5-middleware-livecompileless // middleware extension: livecompiling of less files in the app folder

First of all, make sure to use a proper long-term support version of Node.js. You can download it from nodejs.org or use nvm.
The ui5-ecosystem-showcase repository is a monorepo based using pnpm. To get started with pnpm, it's best to install it globally:
# Install pnpm (if not done already)
npm i -g pnpmTo get started with the project, please ensure to run pnpm install once to setup your mono repo and download and install all required dependencies.
# Install the node modules via pnpm
pnpm installTo get started just run one of the following commands:
# 1) Run the dev mode
# which gives you
# - live reload of ui5-app/webapp/**/**
# - live transpilation of ui5-app/webapp/**/** on the fly
# including debug functionality via source maps
# (attention: async functions not yet supported!)
# - proxy functionality at $server/proxy
# - POC: same proxy middleware reused at $server/proxy2
# - cf-style proxy destinations at $server/$destinations
# - ability to execute the same UI actions across all browsers pointed to http://localhost:1081/index.html
# - using NPM packages as dependencies
pnpm dev
# 1.1) Run the TypeScript app dev mode
# which gives you
# - live transpilation of TypeScript code
# - using NPM packages as dependencies
pnpm dev:ts
# 2) Run the Component-preload build + transpile steps
# which in addition to the above
# - transpiles all ui5-app/webapp/**/* to ui5-app/dist
# - live reload of ui5-app/dist/**/*
pnpm watch
# 3) Run the dist folder (needs manual build via `pnpm build` first)
pnpm start
# 3.1) Run the dist folder for the TypeScript app (needs manual build via `pnpm build:ts` first)
pnpm start:ts
# 4) Run Unit-(QUnit-)Tests and Integration-(OPA5-)Tests
# against "as-is" sources in /webapp/* (of /packages/ui5-app)
# with Chrome
# note: no transpiling, no bundling/building
pnpm test:opa5
# 5) Run end-to-end tests
# in dedicated terminal:
pnpm dev # > start the local ui5 server tooling
# in another terminal:
# (uses Chrome)
pnpm test:wdi5 # > run e2e tests via wdi5 from /packages/ui5-app/webapp/test/e2e/*
# 6) Utilize CI for end-to-end tests
# using Chrome headless
pnpm test:ci # > start ui5 server in background, runs wdi5-tests, shuts down the ui5 serverThe tasks developed in this monorepo are also publicly available on NPM right here:
