SAPUI5: Reuse fragments and JS files in multiple apps

Mar 10, 2017 at 07:18 AM | 343 Views

Hello experts

I have a few fragments with JS files as their controllers that I would like to reuse in all my apps.

An example of one of these would be our custom "upload attachment" fragment along with it's JS file as controller for the events. I would then like to include this fragment and JS in all my apps that requires documents to be uploaded.

What would be the best way to make these files global and how would I reference/include them in my projects/apps?

Thanks :)

    Hi Antonette,

    I have done something like this using the component container concept. You could refer to this also and see if this works for you: Component Container Help

    Its like you are building a library to place commonly used customUI controls/fragments so that it can be accessed from any application where it is referenced.

    I think this should be possible.

    Refer to this blog by Philip, where custom controls are placed in a separate project lib 'dalrae/ui/controls'. This should provide some pointers on the approach to be used.

    In my case, I created a reusable package as 'ZCOMMON'.

    In every package that wants to access a fragments in ZCOMMON, I registered common package.

    Check below code

    jQuery.sap.registerModulePath("common", "../zcommon");
var oDialogController = sap.ui.controller("common.controller.Approve");
this._approveDialog = sap.ui.xmlfragment("common.frag.Approve", oDialogController);

      ZCOMMON is BSP(SAPUI5) application name.

      If your application APP1 wants to access a ZCOMMON, just register a path like below code.

      Check this link

       jQuery.sap.registerModulePath("common", "../zcommon");

      Then call a fragments

      this._approveDialog =sap.ui.xmlfragment("common.frag.Approve", oDialogController)

    As I did, I created my own library which includes the shared fragment and then declare it in all my apps.
