SAP Fiori Element Feature Showcase App for the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model

App List Report App Object Page

The focus of this project is to demonstrate the features of annotation-driven SAP Fiori Elements for oData V4, using the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP). The oData V4 app has been developed to be transactional- and draft- enabled.

To run the feature showcase app, pull the source code from GitHub into your system (see instructions below for different system types), locate the Service Binding and publish it locally. You can start the app preview by selecting the Root node. You can also run it by building your own Fiori app using the SAP Business Application Studio and connecting to the backend via the service binding.

[!TIP]
A corresponding app built using CAP can be found at https://github.com/SAP-samples/fiori-elements-feature-showcase.

[!IMPORTANT]
A number of issues have been identified and documented in the Wiki Identified Constraints.

SAP BTP ABAP Environment Trial

If you don’t have a system available, you could also try it out in the SAP BTP ABAP Environment Trial systems. Check out this tutorial on how to get a trial user.

:book: How To... Use the Guide

The Updated Guide is divided into 6 sections. You can peruse it on your own without refering to the app, based on what you want to implement.

Documentation	Description
General Features	Describes the features that are generally used throughout, be it in the List Report or Object Page
List Report - Header	Describes the features that are for the header area of the List Report
List Report - Content	Describes the features that are for the content area of the List Report
Object Page - General	Describes the features that are generally used for Object Page
Object Page - Header	Describes the features that are for the header area of the Object Page
Object Page - Content	Describes the features that are for the content area of the Object Page

For searching via the search term from the App, there are 2 ways:

If you have a user in GitHub

...when you see a feature that you would like to implement, copy or take note of the search term (e.g., #SearchTermExample) and perform a search in the Repository. Clicking on a result brings you to the markdown code of the respective Guide, so just click on the Preview and search for the term again.

If you don't have a user in GitHub

...you can still use the old way and search in the Wiki instead.

From the Guide, you will get

a short description of the feature,
code snippets and where to find them in the source code,
and in some cases, a link to the official RAP documentation for more information.

Alternatively, you can search for an annotation in the Guide/Wiki, get the search term, and use it to locate the UI feature in the app. If the annotation cannot be found, it could simply mean that it is not showcased in the current release.
