SAP Fiori Application Generator Available in Open SourcepublishedThe SAP Fiori tools team announces that the code behind @sap/generator-fiori@sap/generator-fioriThe single entry point for generating a Fiori application — the user picks a template and the generator produces the project around it.sap official, cap has moved entirely to open source, and names the packages it is built from: writers that output SAP Fiori elements and freestyle SAPUI5 application files, inquirer prompts for picking a back end, and ABAP deploy tasks, coordinated by a sub-generator. Before publishing, the team broke up what had been a monolith, added TypeScript typings and raised test coverage.Fiori annotations

From Inbox to Quotation: An AI-Assisted Sales Workbench in React on SAP CAPpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session walking live through a sales workbench that turns an incoming customer e-mail into a quotation in S/4HANA, built as a React UI on CAP. It shows the filterable request inbox, the extracted configuration properties with a confidence indicator per characteristic, the variant configurator rendered in React from a JSON schema the configuration service returns, and the link from a derived value back to the place in the e-mail it was read from; the stated reason for the stack is that CAP keeps authentication, destinations and deployment the same in every project, which is where frontend boundaryFrontend boundaryConnecting a separately hosted frontend to an application service: authentication, routing, access to backend systems, user identity propagation and tenant isolation across the hosting boundary.SAP only holds. The inbox grows while a user works because a CAP WebSocket plugin pushes new requests into the list — WebSocketWebSocketPushing to a browser that already has the page open, rather than making it ask again — the half of a UI that polling imitates badly.Community only.Frontend boundary
Integrated frontend dev serverecosystems revisedThe UI5 dev middlewares staged in intake-20261019-bestofui5 that forward the app's backend paths (ui5-middleware-route-proxy, ui5-middleware-destination) could only be placed under ui5-build-tooling, whose own boundary leaves proxying to a backend to middlewares. The two facets stay on CAP, where they were asked. The UI5 reading comes from the UI5 CLI Server page and SAP's backend-proxy-middleware README.Integrated frontend dev server
