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.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.Local developmentCAPABAPLocal developmentRunning the whole stack on a laptop against real bindings — the service, the UI and the routing in front of it — without deploying to see a change.

GeneratorsCAPABAPUI5GeneratorsGetting 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.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.

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.

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.

Where the login cannot be completed by configuration. Its authentication page states that multi-factor authentication is not supported, because a media break between browser and phone cannot be managed out of the box.

Semantic search in CAP (Node.js): vector embeddings and cosine similaritySemantic search in CAP (Node.js): vector embeddings and cosine similarityFinding the best semantic match for a prompt inside an entity, using local vector embeddings and cosine similarity — and the finding the author leads with is that it works without a vector database at all. Reported as experiments rather than as a pattern, which is the honest register for it: the interesting claim is how little infrastructure the simple case needs.published 2025-12-09
Quick tip: event/task scheduling in CAP Node.js (in alpha state)Quick tip: event/task scheduling in CAP Node.js (in alpha state)A note on something spotted in capire's May 2025 release notes rather than a technique: CAP Node.js is to support scheduling events — actions and functions included — with callbacks, currently alpha and explicitly subject to change. Useful as a dated marker of the core moving into ground the community has been covering, and the alpha caveat is the point rather than a footnote.published 2025-10-30

Part one of a journey that goes on to put the approuter in front at development time.published 2023-10-13
