SAP River RDE - Build App using JavaScript

[tharaka_fernando]

Dear All Gurus,

Expecting your advise on below 02 matters.

• I have set up the SAP River RDE environment and its working fine. But by default application is created in XML format so I have to do my coding in XML. But Iam used to do coding in JS since I've been using Eclipse IDE for Fiori Customized Apps.

Is there any settings that I can change this to have in JavaScript coding?

• I need to create a fully fiori fully customized app for Ex : Purchase Order Creation. I have created the oData model and is there any example documents "How to create RDE application for these type of requirements (SAP Transaction creation using - oData POST method) .

Thank you all in advance

What type of app are you generating?  If it is a mobile app then you can change the view type in the index page where the sap.ui.view is declared.  The same is true for fiori apps, but this is done in the component where the routes are defined.  Considering that all of the fiori apps use xml views you may want to considered using them.  I feel that after getting accustomed to their structure they are actually easier to create, the layout editor of RDE supports them and they support the modification free extension concept.

Check the following link for different types of examples...
