generator-ui5-library

A Yeoman generator, built on the official UI5 tooling, that scaffolds a new UI5 library as a plug-in for Easy-UI5.

Starting a UI5 library from nothing means laying out the project and its UI5 tooling configuration by hand, as it does for an application. This generator does that for libraries, run through Easy-UI5 as yo easy-ui5 library or standalone as yo ./generator-ui5-library, and its README says it uses the UI5 Tooling and the tooling extensions the UI5 community publishes. It stops at the initial scaffold: npm start then runs the generated project through the UI5 tooling development server.

Where it sits

Lives in
Provides
GeneratorsUI5GeneratorscapabilityGetting 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.
Optional
generator-easy-ui5generator-easy-ui5artifactThe host generator that runs this one as yo easy-ui5 library; the README's standalone route runs it from a local path with Yeoman alone.

License Status

Yeoman generator kickstarting the development of UI5 libraries. The generator incorporates the latest best-practices, is using the UI5 Tooling and the UI5 Tooling extensions provided by the UI5 community. It is maintained by the UI5 community and OpenUI5/SAPUI5 developers. This generator was build as a plug-in for the community project Easy-UI5 by SAP.

Usage with Easy-UI5

$> npm i -g yo generator-easy-ui5
$> yo easy-ui5 library

     _-----_
    |       |    ╭──────────────────────────╮
    |--(o)--|    │  Welcome to the easy-ui5 │
   `---------´   │        generator!        │
    ( _´U`_ )    ╰──────────────────────────╯
    /___A___\   /
     |  ~  |
   __'.___.'__
 ´   `  |° ´ Y `

After the generation of your project you can use npm start (or yarn start) to start the local development server.

Standalone usage

Note the different greeting when the generator starts:

$> npm i -g yo
$> yo ./generator-ui5-library

     _-----_     ╭───────────────────────╮

 ´   `  |° ´ Y `

Development Setup

After cloning the repository, run:

npm run setup

This runs npm install followed by npm run prepare (which installs the Husky git hooks). A dedicated setup script is needed because the project uses ignore-scripts=true in .npmrc to prevent execution of arbitrary postinstall scripts from dependencies — a supply-chain security hardening measure. Since lifecycle scripts are disabled globally, the prepare hook that normally installs Husky doesn't fire automatically, so npm run setup triggers it explicitly.
