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).Build and dev-server toolingUI5Build and dev-server toolingServing an app locally and building it for deployment — proxying a backend, transpiling, bundling, and shaping the result for whatever will host it.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.Integrated frontend dev serverCAPUI5Integrated frontend dev serverServing a frontend and its backend services together during development, so they can be reached through one local origin. Serving prebuilt files and integrating a frontend toolchain that assembles resources on demand are different requirements.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.LintingCAPUI5LintingCatching in the editor what would otherwise be caught at deploy time, or not at all — problems in source code and models and in the project's configuration, found by rules rather than by review.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.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.

@ui5/middleware-code-coverage@ui5/middleware-code-coverageUI5 CLI server middleware that instruments a project's JavaScript files with Istanbul as the dev server sends them, and generates the coverage report from the records the OpenUI5 QUnit tests send back.sap official, ui5
UI5 CLI middleware for Istanbul code coverage
cds-plugin-ui5cds-plugin-ui5A CDS plugin that runs the UI5 CLI express middlewares inside the CDS server, so a UI5 CLI project is served from the same port as the services, mounted under a path from its ui5.yaml.community org, cap
For a deployed application's UI. The README adds it with `npm add cds-plugin-ui5 -D`, a development dependency of the CDS server, and states nothing about a build or a deployment.
