generator-ui5-add
A Yeoman generator that creates UI5 tooling-extension projects and manages the tooling extensions of an existing project, from the bestOfUI5 catalogue.
Starting a UI5 tooling extension means knowing how such a project is laid out, and adding one to a project means finding it first. generator-ui5-add installs globally beside Yeoman and runs as yo ui5-add; its repository describes it as a generator 'to create new tooling extensions projects and manage tooling extensions per project', and its README as 'a generator for adding assets to your ui5 project'. What it offers comes from the bestOfUI5 website rather than a list of its own, and the README says the idea is that all data comes from there. Middleware, task and tooling extensions are ticked as supported; custom controls, custom libraries, framework and VS Code extensions are listed unticked, 'while others might come in the future depending on interest'.
