OpenUI5 Walkthrough

In this tutorial we'll introduce you to all major development paradigms of OpenUI5.

This section is relevant for TypeScript onlyWe'll also demonstrate the use of TypeScript with OpenUI5 and highlight the specific characteristics of this approach.

Description

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.

Preview

Preview of the OpenUI5 application that is going to be built in this tutorial. Contains a Hello World upper part with buttons and a text input. The lower part shows list of invoices with details, grouped by vendor names.

💡 Tip:
You don't have to do all tutorial steps sequentially, you can also jump directly to any step you want. Just download the code from the previous step and make sure that the application runs as intended.

You can view the samples for all steps here in this repository.

Running the content of this repository locally (as opposed to following the tutorial steps) requires a Node.js version >= 20.11.0 to be installed.

Download and Installation

The project is set up as monorepo. All steps are located inside the steps folder and labelled with their step number. The monorepo uses npm workspaces to manage all steps together. But you can also run npm inside each individual step.

To set up the monorepo you first need to install all depenedencies:

npm install

To run any step, just execute one of the scripts from package.json via npm, e.g.:

# Option 1: use workspace command to start the step
npm start -w ui5.walkthrough.step01

# Option 2: change to the folder of the step and start it
cd steps/01 
npm start
