generator-easy-ui5

A Yeoman meta-generator that scaffolds UI5 projects, prompting for a target platform, and loads further sub-generators from the UI5 Community for TypeScript apps, launchpad plugins and libraries.

Starting a SAPUI5 or OpenUI5 project by hand means writing the same metadata files and wiring in current best practices, such as async module loading, every time. easy-ui5 scaffolds one instead, prompting for a target platform among choices that include a static webserver, an Application Router, SAP HTML5 Application Repository and SAP Build Work Zone, and leaves a project runnable with npm start. Beyond its bundled project generator, it loads further sub-generators the UI5 Community publishes, for TypeScript apps, launchpad plugins and libraries among others. It moved from the SAP GitHub organisation to the UI5 Community with version 3, though SAP employees still handle its incoming feature requests and bug reports.

Description

Easy UI5 (easy-ui5) 💙 is a Yeoman generator which enables you to create simple SAPUI5/OpenUI5-based web-apps and other UI5-related projects within seconds.

This generator has been created to simplify the creation of your UI5 prototypes. Now you can scaffold simple UI5 projects from the shell/terminal of your choice. The current best practices (such as async) are already baked into our templates so you don't have to worry about the definition of the metadata files.

The purpose of the (preinstalled) project generator is to guide you on your first steps with SAPUI5 and SAP BTP deployments. Once you are familiar with those technologies, you might want to tweak the projects to adapt them for productive use-cases (such as continuous deployment pipelines and full i18n).

Note: This project was formerly located at the SAP GitHub organization. Starting with easy-ui5 v3, all templates were outsourced to repositories in the UI5 Community. To highlight easy-ui5 is also a fully community driven project, the project was moved to the UI5 Community, too. Still SAP employees take care of managing incoming feature requests and bug reports.

By default, it will download the repository generator-ui5-project which contains the templates that were previously integrated in easy-ui5 < 3.

Requirements

  • Get Node.js (⚠️ version 22.13 or higher).

Download and Installation

  1. Install the generator:

    npm install -g yo generator-easy-ui5

  2. Verify your installation to see if Yeoman has been installed correctly:

    yo

    Make sure you see the easy-ui5 generator listed.

Bootstrapping a new UI5 project

Create your first UI5 App within a few seconds!

  1. Scaffold your UI5 project:

    yo easy-ui5 project

  2. Answer the prompts to create your new project.

  3. Run it locally:

    cd <your project directory>
npm start # or "yarn start"

Target platforms

During the prompting phase, the project generator will ask on which target platform your app should run. Currently, the following options are available:

  • Static webserver
  • Application Router
  • Application Frontend Service
  • SAP HTML5 Application Repository
  • SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition
  • SAP NetWeaver

Have a look at the project generator for more usage instruction and information about its available subgenerators.

More generators

And this is just the start!

We made easy-ui5 extensible, so that the entire UI5 Community can build additional plugins to scaffold any UI5-related development activity.

By default, this generator comes with the project generator but there are many others as well:

To download and use any of the plugins above, run the following command:

yo easy-ui5 [project|ts-app|...] # this is the name of the repository without the "generator-ui5-" prefix

Calling generators

Run the following command to see all subgenerators of a given generator:

yo easy-ui5 [project|ts-app|...] --list

Once you decided on the generator, run:

yo easy-ui5 [project|ts-app|...]

Configuration

easy-ui5 reads its configuration from ~/.easyui5rc.json (recommended) or ~/.easyui5rc (INI). Both files are optional and use bare option names — no prefix needed.

~/.easyui5rc.json:

{
  "ghAuthToken": "github_pat_...",
  "ghBaseUrl": "https://github.tools.sap/api/v3",
  "pluginsHome": "/Users/me/.npm/_generator-easy-ui5/plugin-generators",
  "addGhBaseUrl": "https://github.tools.sap/api/v3",
  "addGhOrg": "my-org",
  "addSubGeneratorPrefix": "generator-"
}

~/.easyui5rc (INI alternative):

ghAuthToken=github_pat_...
ghBaseUrl=https://github.tools.sap/api/v3
Cascade & per-project overrides

Resolution walks from the current working directory up to your home directory (ESLint-style). At each level, .easyui5rc.json wins over .easyui5rc; closer files win over farther ones. Add "root": true to a file to stop the cascade at that level.

Environment variables

Every option also accepts a EASY_UI5_<SCREAMING_SNAKE> environment variable which takes precedence over every config file — ideal for CI:

EASY_UI5_GH_AUTH_TOKEN=ghp_...
EASY_UI5_GH_BASE_URL=https://github.tools.sap/api/v3
EASY_UI5_PLUGINS_HOME=/var/cache/easy-ui5
Legacy ~/.npmrc keys (deprecated)

Earlier versions read easy-ui5_* keys directly from ~/.npmrc. These are still resolved for one release, but npm 11+ warns and npm 12 will reject unknown user config — please move them to ~/.easyui5rc.json. The generator prints a one-time migration notice when it detects legacy keys.

Proxy settings

If you are running easy-ui5 behind a coporate proxy, just use the default proxy environment variables for Node.js to configure your corporate proxy:

  • HTTP_PROXY: Specify the value to use as the HTTP proxy for all connections, e.g., HTTP_PROXY="http://proxy.mycompany.com:8080/".
  • HTTPS_PROXY: Specify the value to use as the HTTPS proxy for all connections, e.g., HTTPS_PROXY="http://proxy.mycompany.com:8080/".
  • NO_PROXY: Define the hosts that should bypass the proxy, e.g., NO_PROXY="localhost,.mycompany.com,192.168.6.254:80".

In addition, easy-ui5 also supports proxy configuration from the .npmrc configuration:

http-proxy=http://proxy.mycompany.com:8080/
https-proxy=http://proxy.mycompany.com:8080/
proxy=http://proxy.mycompany.com:8080/
no-proxy=localhost,.mycompany.com,192.168.6.254:80

This configuration is shared with npm itself since this proxy configuration is used to download the packages from npm.

Proxies can be passed as env variables or as npm config options. The highest precedence have the GLOBAL_AGENT_* env variables before the regular env variables followed by the npm configuration options, e.g.:

  1. env: GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTP_PROXY
  2. env: HTTP_PROXY
  3. npm: http-proxy
  4. npm: proxy

How to obtain support

Please use the GitHub bug tracking system to post questions, bug reports or to create pull requests.

Releases

Releases are automated via Changesets and the Release workflow. Contributors record the intended semver bump and summary in a .changeset/*.md file as part of their PR (npm run changeset); when that PR merges to main, a "Version Packages" PR is opened or updated. Merging that PR cuts the actual release: version bump, CHANGELOG.md update, npm publish via OIDC Trusted Publishing, git tag, GitHub Release.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the contributor-facing details.

Contributing

We welcome any type of contribution (code contributions, pull requests, issues) to this project equally.

Please follow our instructions if you would like to contribute.

History

Latest

v3.9.1

  1. v3.11.0

    Features 1

    Notes
    Minor Changes

    • #181 b7d37f3 Thanks @petermuessig! - Require Node.js 22.13 or higher

      The minimum supported Node.js version is now >=22.13 (previously >=20.19). Node 20 has moved out of Active LTS and the UI5 ecosystem is standardising on Node 22 as the common floor; the exact 22.13 threshold matches the range already required by our transitive dependencies (yeoman-generator, glob, and others).

      • CI now tests on Node 22, 24, and 26.
      • lint-staged bumped to 17 (drops Node 20 support).
      • @commitlint/cli and @commitlint/config-conventional bumped to 21.
      • globals bumped to 17.7.
      • Pinned GitHub Action SHAs refreshed (actions/checkout v7, actions/setup-node v6, changesets/action v1.9, softprops/action-gh-release v3).

  2. v3.10.1

    Fixes 1

    Notes
    Patch Changes

    • #169 dafaf9f Thanks @petermuessig! - Fix scaffolding interactive flow:

      • Drop --prefer-offline from the internal npm install invocation; the flag could prevent the install from completing properly when the offline cache is incomplete or stale.
      • Replace the deprecated inquirer list prompt type with select for the generator and sub-generator selection prompts.

  3. v3.10.0

    Features 3, Fixes 6

    Notes
    Minor Changes

    • #163 ddfb468 Thanks @petermuessig! - Modernize the release pipeline, dependencies, and configuration.

      Releases
      • Adopt Changesets for versioning and publishing. Each PR now records its intended semver bump and a summary in a .changeset/*.md file; merging to main opens a "Version Packages" PR whose merge publishes to npm via OIDC Trusted Publishing.
      • The legacy tag-based publish.yml workflow has been retired. The release:changelog / postversion scripts and the conventional-changelog-cli devDependency are gone — the CHANGELOG.md is now generated by @changesets/changelog-github and contains PR/commit links.
      Configuration
      • New ~/.easyui5rc.json (preferred) and ~/.easyui5rc (INI) for generator-easy-ui5-specific options (ghAuthToken, ghBaseUrl, pluginsHome, addGhBaseUrl, addGhOrg, addSubGeneratorPrefix). The lookup walks from cwd up to your home directory (ESLint-style cascade), and a file may set "root": true to stop the walk.
      • New EASY_UI5_* environment variables for CI (e.g. EASY_UI5_GH_AUTH_TOKEN) that override every config file.
      • The legacy easy-ui5_* keys in ~/.npmrc are still read for one release, with a one-time stderr deprecation notice — npm 11 already warns about them and npm 12 will reject them. Move them to ~/.easyui5rc.json.
      • Internals: the config reader no longer shells out to npm config list --json, removing a child-process dependency and ~100–300 ms of startup cost.
      Dependencies and tooling
      • Minimum supported Node.js is now 20.19 (was >=20) to match eslint@10's engines field.
      • Bumped yeoman-generator to ^8.2.2 and eslint to ^10.5.0.
      • Added eslint-plugin-n and eslint-plugin-security plus a strict CI variant (npm run lint:ci, --max-warnings 0) for supply-chain hygiene.

    • #163 ddfb468 Thanks @petermuessig! - Replace the standard Yeoman yosay greeting with a branded EASY UI5 ASCII banner. The wordmark spells "Easy UI5" in ANSI-Shadow box-drawing characters with a small block-style heart anchored to the top right. Wordmark rows are painted with a six-tone rainbow (red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta); the heart renders in magenta; the version number sits on the last wordmark row in yellow, with a blank row separating it from the heart for visual breathing room. Blank lines bracket the banner above and below. The yosay runtime dependency has been dropped (it remains a devDependency only because the in-tree test-plugin fixtures still use it).

    • #163 ddfb468 Thanks @petermuessig! - Introduce a structured logger with severity-tagged, colour-coded output. Every diagnostic line emitted by the generator now carries a fixed-width category — [INFO ], [WARN ], [ERROR], [OK ], or [DEBUG] — coloured by severity (cyan / yellow / red / green / dim). WARN and ERROR are routed to stderr so they survive stdout redirects; DEBUG is hidden unless --verbose is set. The previous mix of this.log, console.error, console.info, and raw process.stderr.write calls has been replaced with this.logger.{info,warn,error,ok,debug} across generators/app/index.js and the legacy ~/.npmrc deprecation notice in getNPMConfig.js. The welcome banner and the --list / --plugins help output still use the untagged this.log channel because they're cosmetic, not diagnostic.

    Patch Changes

    • #163 ddfb468 Thanks @petermuessig! - Expand the integration-test matrix to cover every supported yeoman-generator major (4, 5, 6, 7, 8). Each fixture under test/generator-ui5-test-v<N>/ pins its own yeoman-generator major and produces a distinctively-named template file the assertion can check for, so a regression in any major surfaces immediately. The corresponding test driver in test/basic.js is now data-driven (one row per major) so adding a future yeoman-generator major becomes a one-line change. Also fixes a latent chalk-not-imported bug in the v4/v5 fixtures that would have crashed if the --embedded option was ever off.

    • #163 ddfb468 Thanks @petermuessig! - Move the --embed plugin-generator snapshotting step out of the prepublishOnly npm hook and into an explicit npm run embed workflow step that runs before Changesets publishes. The previous setup called npx yo … --embed from inside npm publish, which fetched the public plugin generators from GitHub without authentication — at the mercy of the 60-req/hour unauthenticated rate limit on shared CI egress IPs. With the new arrangement: the release workflow authenticates the fetch via EASY_UI5_GH_AUTH_TOKEN=${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}, and a transient GitHub failure aborts the run before any version bump is committed to main. Maintainers publishing locally (rare; the workflow is the intended path) now need to run npm run embed themselves first — see CONTRIBUTING.md's "Release Life-Cycle" section.

    • #163 ddfb468 Thanks @petermuessig! - Fix subgenerator runs crashing with Command failed with exit code 1: npm after the bump to yeoman-generator@8. In v8 the spawn API was reshuffled: spawnCommand(name, opts) now takes a shell string (no args array), while spawn(name, args, opts) is the args-array variant. The generator was still calling spawnCommand with an args array — execa silently dropped the args and invoked npm with nothing, which prints help and exits 1. Switched the four call sites (_npmInstall and the three git calls in end()) to spawn / spawnSync. Added a regression-guard test that fails if the legacy API reappears anywhere under generators/.
