Fiori annotationsCAPUI5Fiori annotationsDescribing a service so a Fiori client can render it without hand-written UI code — titles, value helps, hierarchies and visibility expressed as model annotations rather than screen logic.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.LocalizationCAPUI5LocalizationServing labels, messages and translated content per user locale, including translatable model elements and per-tenant text overrides.
Contributes to
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.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.DocumentationCAPUI5DocumentationFinding the answer in what has already been written, and writing it where it has not — first-party documentation made searchable by something other than a person scrolling it, including by an agent, and a document of custom code produced from the code itself.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.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.TelemetryCAPTelemetrySeeing what a running service did — traces across handlers and database calls, metrics, and correlation that survives an async boundary.TestingCAPTestingProving the service still does what it did — against the model and the handlers, without a deployed system and without a database somebody has to keep clean.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.

@sap-ux/cap-config-writer@sap-ux/cap-config-writerSAP's writer module for changing a CAP project's configuration from code, so a tool can add a UI5 app to a project that already exists, returning a mem-fs editor whose commit writes the changes.sap official, cap
There is nothing to run: it is published for a generator or a script to call, not for a developer to invoke in a project, and it declares Node.js 22 or later.
Writer module for changing a CAP project's configuration from code
@sap-ux/create@sap-ux/createSAP Fiori tools as a command: npx @sap-ux/create changes the features of a Fiori project that already exists, through its add, generate, convert, remove, update and change subcommands.sap official, ui5
Command line for changing features of an existing Fiori project
@sap-ux/fe-fpm-writer@sap-ux/fe-fpm-writerA library that writes flexible programming model elements, such as a custom page wired into the app's routing, into a Fiori elements application for OData v4 from Node code.sap official, ui5
Writer of flexible programming model elements into Fiori elements apps
@sap-ux/i18n@sap-ux/i18nA library that reads and writes the i18n bundles of a UI5 or CAP project from Node code, the i18n.properties file of a UI5 app and the i18n folder of a CAP project alike.sap official, ui5
Reader and writer for i18n bundles of UI5 or CAP projects
@sap-ux/odata-service-writer@sap-ux/odata-service-writerA library that adds an OData service to a UI5 project that already exists, writing the file updates from a config object naming the service url, its OData version and a destination.sap official, ui5
Writer that adds an OData service to an existing UI5 project
@sap-ux/odata-vocabularies@sap-ux/odata-vocabulariesCarries the OASIS and SAP OData vocabularies as a package, with a VocabularyService for asking which terms exist, where they apply and what their types and properties are.sap official, ui5
OASIS and SAP OData vocabularies with a VocabularyService
@sap-ux/ui5-application-writer@sap-ux/ui5-application-writerA library that writes the base structure of a UI5 project from Node code, out of an app id, title and description, returning a mem-fs editor so a generator needs no template engine of its own.sap official, ui5
Writer of the base structure of a UI5 project from Node code

Parser for annotations in CDS source
@sap-ux/cds-odata-annotation-converter@sap-ux/cds-odata-annotation-converterConverts CDS annotations into their OData form, which is the translation Fiori tooling needs to reason about a service the way a client sees it.sap official, cap

@sap-ux/fe-mockserver-plugin-cds@sap-ux/fe-mockserver-plugin-cdsLets the Fiori Elements mock server take a CDS file as its metadata source, so a UI is developed against the real model before a service exists.sap official, cap
