Installation & setup a new project

Firstly, install Yeoman and generator-ui5g using npm.

npm i -g yo generator-ui5g

Then run the yo ui5g command to generate your own project.

yo ui5g

The project will be generated in a new folder, and the folder name is same as app name.

Then, just execute the start command, wait a moment, the application will be opened in a new browser window (after build).

npm start

Build

Run the build command, and the production artifacts will be generated in the dist directory (default).

npm run build

Configuration

• babel, edit .babelrc to modify babel behavior, for example, make sourcemaps inline

• eslint, edit .eslintrc to modify eslint lint config, by default, new project will use most rules of ui5 standard, only add es6 and other essential rules.

• gulp, edit gulpfile.js to modify gulp task and other task behavior, you can add sass or uglify or other processes manually, or adjust src/dist directory

• proxy, edit proxies.js, supported by gulp connect, use a traditional node lib, it can set local proxy to remote server

Command

• npm start, default gulp will start a hot reload server, based on BrowserSync. Recommended to develop in this way.

• npm run build, build files to dist directory, and Component-preload.js will be created.

About

This generator is written by Theo but some ideas come from Madeleine.

The idea of JSX Support is from Kenny, just a syntactic sugar.

Very pleased to be able to help you.
