SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

SAPUI5/OpenUI5 projects often require consistent setup, configuration, and migration guidance across multiple repos. This skill provides a ready-to-use blueprint for initializing, configuring, building, serving, and migrating UI5 projects with the official CLI, including workspace/monorepo support and extensibility patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

Centralized guidance for using the UI5 CLI to initialize projects, manage ui5.yaml/ui5-workspace.yaml, and handle builds and dev servers with HTTP/2 and TLS.
Supports both SAPUI5 and OpenUI5, including workflow patterns for custom tasks, server middleware, and project shims.
Useful for teams adopting a monorepo structure, performing version migrations, or building repeatable UI5 pipelines.

Quick Start

Install and configure the UI5 CLI in your project, then run ui5 init, ui5 use sapui5@latest, ui5 add libraries (as needed), and ui5 build or ui5 serve.

What is the process for migrating between different UI5 CLI versions?▼

Migrating between UI5 CLI versions involves updating your project configuration and dependencies according to the specific migration workflows provided, ensuring your ui5.yaml and workspace settings remain compatible with the target CLI version.

Does the UI5 CLI support development servers with HTTP/2 and TLS?▼

Yes, the UI5 CLI supports running local development servers configured with HTTP/2 and TLS, allowing you to securely serve and test SAPUI5 or OpenUI5 applications during development.

How do I extend the UI5 CLI build process with custom tasks and middleware?▼

You can extend the UI5 CLI build and serve processes by implementing custom tasks and server middleware, defining project shims, and configuring these extensibility patterns within your ui5.yaml file.
