Adding Fiori Apps to CAP Projects

[I533303]

Hello CAPM community ,

I have create Odata service with SAP CAP model and i deploy it to SCP . How can I deal with developing fiori elements app that consume my Odata service that I already created ?

-Should I use SAP Business Application Studio or SAP Web IDE full-stack for that ?

- How can I create fiori elements app from template wizard and point to the "Srv" folder with in workspace for services while using the Fiori create from template wizard ?( like this exemple : https://blogs.sap.com/2017/03/27/develop-fiori-list-report-and-object-page-fiori-elements-using-nort... )

Note:

I checked the official documentation on serving UIs : https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/guides/fiori/

it was mentioned that for adding fiori apps to CAP model project i have to copy the the fiori apps folder from sap/samples project on github as a template and modify the content as appropriate. But it doesn't work properly .

..............

I will greatly appreciate your help .

Thank you .

Hi,

To answer your first question, basically you can use both (or even your own local environment e.g. VS Code). If you can choose which one to use, I personally would pick SAP Business Application Studio. (since this is the most recent IDE released by SAP)

For your second question, based on the IDE you use:

Web IDE:

• Generate a SAP Cloud Platform Business Application (this generates the srv and db folder etc)
• Create a folder "app"
• Right click the folder and choose new -> HTML5 module

Business Application Studio:

• Generate a SAP Cloud Platform Business Application (this generates the srv and db folder etc)
• Create a folder "app"
• Change your directory in the command line to the app folder
• Install easy-ui5 generator
• Generate a new fiori project using for example the easy-ui5 generator command

At least this is how I work, there might be other ways to do it.
