In this tutorial we'll introduce you to all major development paradigms of OpenUI5.
This section is relevant for TypeScript only
We'll also demonstrate the use of TypeScript with OpenUI5 and highlight the specific characteristics of this approach.We first introduce you to the basic development paradigms like Model-View-Controller and establish a best-practice structure of our application. We'll do this along the classic example of “Hello World” and start a new app from scratch. Next, we'll introduce the fundamental data binding concepts of OpenUI5 and extend our app to show a list of invoices. We'll continue to add more functionality by adding navigation, extending controls, and making our app responsive. We'll also have look at the testing features and the built-in support tools of OpenUI5.
This repository contains following tutorials:
The repository is set up as an npm workspaces monorepo. Each tutorial step under packages/*/steps/* is a self-contained app you can run standalone, and the root build orchestrator produces a unified preview that mirrors the published GitHub Pages site.
# 1) install dependencies for every step
npm install
# 2) build every tutorial step (produces dist/<tutorial>/build/NN/ apps + ZIP downloads)
npm run build
# 3) serve the rendered tutorial pages with working Live Preview links
npm startAfter npm start, open http://localhost:1337/packages/walkthrough/ (or any other tutorial's packages/<name>/). The dev server renders the markdown overview, rewrites the published https://ui5.github.io/tutorials/... URLs to point at the local dist/, and serves the built apps from the same origin.
To run a single step directly without going through the build:
npm start -w ui5.tutorial.walkthrough.step15Create an issue in this repository if you find a bug or have questions about the content.
