It seems SAP UI5 is derived from HTML5. I just wanted to know what all HTML5 features are used in SAP UI5 & what are all the features that are mostly used while developing UI5 applications ?

Hi,

As suggested above it's a rather broad question to answer, especially considering what people consider to be under the HTML5 umbrella.

As a brief summary it provides a suite of controls which in the main use CSS3 ( i.e. box-shadows, gradients, transform), and some controls use additional features like TextField can use placeholders, Charts use SVG etc.

I think the key thing to highlight which Gareth and others have alluded to is that it doesn't prevent the use of other browser features, local storage, websockets. It's very easy to extend controls and write your own renderers etc.

Hi,

I'd suggest you go to the main SAPUI5 page here on SCN and start reading the introduction blogs and guides, as well as looking at all of the official documentation which highlights the content available.

I'm not sure anyone would bother to list what HTML5 features are available, as it doesn't really add too much value.  What about you figure out what you need and then see if it is available, if not ask for help here?

Cheers,

Gareth.

Hi,

By using HTML5 we can do Offline application, local storage.

What my question is " Is SAPUI5 support these features or not? " If supports how can we do that ?

Please guide me to do this.

Thanks&Regards

Hi Sridevi,

Given SAPUI5 is built on top of HTML5 there is absolutely no reason why local storage cannot be implemented.  I have seen a blog here on SCN discussing this I'm sure but I can't find it right at the minute.

Ultimately, I'm sure that pretty much anything and everything you can do with "normal" HTML5 you can do with SAPUI5, whether it is using some of the SAPUI5 specific controls or API's or indeed by using other non-SAP stuff just like you would with any old web app.

This for me is why I think SAPUI5 is finally a quality UI solution from SAP, as with so many of their previous efforts you have been stuck with just what the SAP developers think you will need - with SAPUI5 the world is your mollusc.

Cheers,

Gareth.

I'd suggest you get flexing your muscles on Google and see what else is out there

Hi Sridevi,

as Gareth already mentioned, you can use all available JavaScript-APIs within a SAPUI5 application. It just makes no sense to create "SAPUI5 wrapper" for all native JavaScript functions.

This site gives you a brief overview of all important HTML5 features and the respective browser support.
