ui5-middleware-servestatic
A UI5 dev-server middleware that serves static resources from a filesystem path or an installed npm package path, built on serve-static, with either path settable through an environment variable.
Serves static resources through the UI5 dev server from a configured rootPath, or from an npmPackagePath naming an installed package and a path inside it when rootPath is not set — rootPath takes priority when both are given. It builds on the serve-static package to do the serving itself. Either value can also be supplied through an environment variable, using the env. prefix, instead of being written into ui5.yaml directly.

👋 This is an open‑source, community‑driven project, developed and actively monitored by members of the UI5 community. You are welcome to use it, report issues, contribute enhancements, and support others in the community.
Middleware for ui5-server, enabling to serve static resources.
Prerequisites
- Requires at least
@ui5/cli@3.0.0(to supportspecVersion: "3.0")
⚠️ UI5 CLI Compatibility All releases of this UI5 CLI extension using the major version
3require UI5 CLI V3. Any previous releases below major version3(if available) also support older versions of the UI5 CLI. But the usage of the latest UI5 CLI is strongly recommended!
Install
npm install ui5-middleware-servestatic --save-devConfiguration options (in $yourapp/ui5.yaml)
- debug:
booleandebug logging - rootPath:
stringthe root path to the static resources on your system (absolute or relative path to app) - npmPackagePath:
stringthe npm package path pointing to the root path for the static resources (e.g. "@scope/packageName/path", "packageName/path", "packageName")
Hints:
- If a
rootPathis given, thenpmPackagePathwill be ignored- Values for
rootPathornpmPackagePathcan be also provided by environment variables by using the prefixenv.e.g.rootPath: env.MY_ENV_VAR
Usage
- Define the dependency in
$yourapp/package.json:
"devDependencies": {
// ...
"ui5-middleware-servestatic": "*"
// ...
}- configure it in
$yourapp/ui5.yaml:
server:
customMiddleware:
- name: ui5-middleware-servestatic
afterMiddleware: compression
mountPath: /resources
configuration:
rootPath: "/Users/Me/upkg/sapui5-runtime-1.70/resources"Example which uses Environment Variables from .env file
server:
customMiddleware:
- name: ui5-middleware-servestatic
afterMiddleware: compression
mountPath: /resources
configuration:
rootPath: ${env.SAPUI5_SDK_1_60__RESOURCES}How it works
The middleware integrates serve-static to serve static resources from a specified rootPath.
