Features

ui5-tools

Automatic less builder. Looks for styles.less and PROJECTFOLDER.less
Automatic themes builder. Build library.source.less themes
Configurator commands for odata proxy, resources proxy and replace strings

Server

Handles AppCachebuster in localhost (by default only in PROD mode). Only use this feature to test your cachebuster behaviour with no deployment needed.
Configurable proxy to one o multiple odata service (Gateway, Other, None). Command alt+c alt+o
Supports .env file for odata service authentication. Example of .env file:

UI5TOOLS_ODATA_USER=
UI5TOOLS_ODATA_PASSWORD=
UI5TOOLS_ODATA_USER_2=
UI5TOOLS_ODATA_PASSWORD_2=
UI5TOOLS_ODATA_USER_N=
UI5TOOLS_ODATA_PASSWORD_N=

Configurable proxy to resources (Gateway, CDN SAPUI5, CDN OpenUI5, Local Runtime, None). Command alt+c alt+u
Configurable UI5 version (when using gateway proxy, extension will detect sapui5 version automatically)
Live reload browser, css and images hot reload
Typescript support (ESM)
Built in localhost home page server, with apps launchpad, readme.md, docs (md files), links, server info...
Built in launchpad for resources: Gateway, CDN SAPUI5 and Runtime. Configurable with file fioriSandboxConfig.json
Server uses folder hierarchy. For product apps and Z apps, is possible to emulate gateway bsp paths
Start server in development mode alt+s alt+s or production mode alt+s alt+p (launches appFolder/libraryFolder or distFolder folder of each project)
Multiple comands: start alt+s alt+s, restart alt+s alt+r... (check commands secction)

Builder

Component-preload.js, checking configured ui5 version for correct build. Build your project by doing right click in project folder or alt+b alt+b and select project
Dbg files creation
Typescript support (ESM)
Build less files (looks for styles.css, PROJECTFOLDERNAME.less or library.source.less)
Uglify files
Replace strings
Build one project alt+b alt+b or all apps alt+b alt+a in one command
Building preload (Component-preload and library-preload) process uses openui5-preload
Building theme (library.source.less) process uses less-openui5
Building styles (styles.less and PROJECTFOLDER.less) process uses less

Deployer

Gateway deploy, process includes build process. Deploy your project doing right click in project folder or alt+d alt+d and select project
ui5-tools.json file located at project folder, with deployment configuration: ui5-tools.json example
Create, update and save last order in ui5-tools.json file (configurable)
Autoprefix BSP name in order text while creation (optional)
Supports .env file for gateway authentication.

UI5TOOLS_DEPLOY_USER=
UI5TOOLS_DEPLOY_PASSWORD=

Deploy process uses ui5-nwabap-deployer-core , so the extension uses the same configuration in file ui5-tools.json (property deployer.options)

Importer

Import BSP directly from Gateway systems alt+i alt+i
Supports .env file for gateway authentication.

UI5TOOLS_IMPORT_USER=
UI5TOOLS_IMPORT_PASSWORD=

String replacer

Default replace patterns <% TIMESTAMP %>, <% ISODATE %>, <% DMY %>, <% YMD %>, <% MYD %>
Create custom replacements like <% CUSTOMKEY %> in workspace environment (configurable with command alt+c alt+r)
Computed values COMPUTED_DATE_TIMESTAMP, COMPUTED_DATE_ISO, COMPUTED_DATE_DMY, COMPUTED_DATE_YMD, COMPUTED_DATE_MYD and the special value COMPUTED_DATE_FORMATTED
Suports custom computed date format, replacements using dayjs during the build process:

"ui5-tools.builder.replaceKeysValues": [
  {
    "key": "DATE_FORMATED_EXAMPLE",
    "value": "COMPUTED_DATE_FORMAT",
    "param": "DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:SS"
  }
]
