AccessibilityUI5AccessibilityMaking a UI usable with a screen reader, with a keyboard alone and without seeing the layout: accessible names on controls, a heading order, landmarks, focus handling and announcements. Target size for a finger is [touch operation](capability:ui5-touch-uis).Agent access to your codeCAPUI5Agent access to your codeLetting a coding agent read the project or the system you actually have, reach its model, its objects and its checks, and act on it. In file-based environments that works out of the box; complex systems need dedicated access capabilities. Whatever the environment, the agent also needs project- and framework-specific context, so it understands the thing in front of it rather than guessing from what it remembers of its training data. The transport is incidental: an MCP server, a language server or a CLI answer the same question, and what differs between them is how much of the real thing the agent can see. Distinct from [MCP servers](capability:mcp-servers), which is a protocol adapter on your own running service, and from [agent guidance](capability:agent-guidance), which is knowledge handed over as files rather than read from the thing itself.Agent guidanceCAPUI5Agent guidancePackaged knowledge you hand a coding agent so it gets a framework right unprompted — skills, rule files, instruction packs. Distinct from agent tooling, which is about building agentic features into your application, and from [agent access to your code](capability:agent-code-access), where the agent reads the real project instead of being handed a file about it.AttachmentsCAPUI5AttachmentsStoring a file somebody uploaded next to the record it belongs to, and getting it back out — where the bytes actually live, who may read them, and what the UI shows while they are being scanned.Data bindingUI5Data bindingKeeping a control and a model in step in both directions, including the formatting, type conversion and validation that sit between the two.GeneratorsCAPUI5GeneratorsGetting from nothing to a project that runs, and from a project that runs to one that has the piece you just decided you need. Two different moments: the first is a one-time decision about layout, the second recurs for the life of the project.Key-user adaptationUI5Key-user adaptationChanging a delivered app without modifying it — moving, hiding and adding elements as a layered set of changes that survive an upgrade.Launchpad pluginsUI5Launchpad pluginsExtending an application launchpad’s shell rather than an individual app: adding header buttons, user-menu entries, frame areas or background behaviour shared across the apps it hosts. A development sandbox for launching an app is a separate concern.LLM integrationCAPUI5LLM integrationCalling a language model from application code with the tenant, destination and credential handling already solved instead using an SDK call with a hand-rolled key.LoggingCAPUI5LoggingSeeing what a running service did, in a form something can read afterwards — levels, a formatter that suits a laptop and one that suits a log service.Routing and navigationUI5Routing and navigationTurning a URL hash into a view, and a view change back into a URL — so a deep link, a browser back button and a refresh all land where the user expects in a single-page app.ThemingUI5ThemingApplying a consistent visual identity across every control, including the parameters an app may read and the custom themes an organisation may build.Touch operationUI5Touch operationOperating an app with a finger, a stylus or a gloved hand on a tablet, kiosk or shop-floor terminal: targets large enough to hit, and input that does not assume a hardware keyboard. Distinct from responsive layout, which is about the width of the screen rather than what touches it.TypeScript supportUI5TypeScript supportWriting apps and libraries in TypeScript — the type definitions, the module syntax the loader expects, and the build step that gets from one to the other.UI5 testingUI5UI5 testingProving a UI still works — unit tests over controllers and formatters, integration tests that drive real controls, and end-to-end runs against a served app.Web Components interopUI5Web Components interopUsing standards-based custom elements inside an app, and the question of which control set an app should be built from at all, two concerns that are often answered as one.

@openui5/sap.ui.core@openui5/sap.ui.coreThe OpenUI5 core: the module loader, the MVC runtime, data binding, routing, theming and the test stack, which is everything a UI5 app does before a single community package is added.sap official, ui5
Framework core: module loader, MVC runtime, binding, routing, theming
@ui5/mcp-server@ui5/mcp-serverSAP's MCP server for UI5 development: ten tools that scaffold an app or a card, read the project in front of the agent, and run the linter and the manifest validator against it.sap official, ui5
It reads a UI5 project and the framework's own documentation, not a running system or a backend: a question about the service behind the app is answered somewhere else. Node.js v20.17 or v22.9 and above.
MCP server for UI5 development with ten tools
@ui5/sample-app@ui5/sample-appAn OpenUI5 sample app set up with the UI5 CLI: ESLint, UI5 linter and UI5 Test Runner checks, a standard and a self-contained build, and a UI5 workspace for developing against local UI5 libraries.sap official, ui5
OpenUI5 sample app set up with the UI5 CLI
@ui5/webcomponents@ui5/webcomponentsSAP's UI elements as standard custom elements, ui5-button among them, implementing SAP Fiori design and usable from plain HTML, React, Angular or Vue.sap official, ui5
Not where the UI library itself is expected to bind data: the documentation leaves binding a component's content and events to the host framework. Not from a CDN script tag: the project publishes none, so it assumes a build step.
SAP's UI elements as standard custom elements
babel-preset-transform-ui5babel-preset-transform-ui5A Babel transformer that converts modern ECMAScript or TypeScript UI5 code (ES modules and classes) into the sap.ui.define and Control.extend syntax the UI5 loader expects.community org, ui5

generator-ui5-projectgenerator-ui5-projectA Yeoman generator for a UI5 project holding several applications in npm workspaces, with eight subgenerators for recurring tasks and a choice of six deployment targets.community org, ui5
Not for a single-application project with no deployment configuration: for that the README points to [generator-ui5-app](artifact:ui5-community-generator-ui5-app) instead.

UI5 Web Components agent skillsUI5 Web Components agent skillsTwo skills shipped inside the UI5 Web Components repository itself, under skills/: one for accessibility, covering ARIA and keyboard behaviour, and one for styling through shadow parts and custom properties.sap official, ui5
Two skills, narrowly scoped: nothing here scaffolds an application or answers what a component's API is — that is [@ui5/webcomponents-mcp-server](artifact:ui5-webcomponents-mcp-server), which reads the same library's documentation.
Two agent skills for accessibility and styling of web components
