Create UI5 Webapp

Create a ui5 webapp from terminal / command line.

Quick overview

npm -g install create-ui5-webapp

create-ui5-webapp

Getting started

Install package globally

npm -g install create-ui5-webapp

Navigate to the folder where you want to create your new ui5 webapp then type the following into your terminal / command line

create-ui-webapp

It will create a directory called webapp inside the current folder. Inside that directory, it will generate the initial project structure:

webapp
|-- controller
    |-- App.controller.js
|-- css
    |-- style.css
|-- i18n
    |-- i18n.properties
|-- test
|-- view
    |-- App.view.xml
|-- Component.js
|-- manifest.json

Optional parameters

The namespace defaults to 'namespace'and the app's name defaults to 'webapp' within the files:

sap.ui.define([
    "sap/ui/core/mvc/Controller"
], function(Controller) {
    "use strict";

    var oController = Controller.extend("namespace.webapp.controller.App");

    /*
     * - Run on page load
     */
    oController.prototype.onInit = function(oEvent) {
    
    };

    return oController;

});

If you want to specify your own namespace (first argument) and your app name(second argument) other than 'webapp' than you can specify them. Please note you need to provide both arguments even if you only want to specify the name for one or the other.

create-ui5-webapp myNamespace myAppName

sap.ui.define([
    "sap/ui/core/mvc/Controller"
], function(Controller) {
    "use strict";

    var oController = Controller.extend("myNamespace.myAppName.controller.App");

    /*
     * - Run on page load
     */
    oController.prototype.onInit = function(oEvent) {
    
    };

    return oController;

});
