SAPUI5 Development optios

[former_member331524]

Hi experts!

We are currently planning to develop Fiori Applications for a client. We do not have the SAP CLOUD Platform service. The idea is that the applications are in the Abap Repository (ERP). Not for use in the cloud.

Can we use SAP Web IDE Trial?

What development options do you recommend?

THANK YOU.

REGARDS!

You can use the Trial landscape for trial and evaluation only, not for productive use.

SAP Web IDE license can be purchased as a standalone SKU (so you don't have to purchase SAP Cloud Platform or any other big package). Check out the SAP Store.

Using SAP Web IDE you can easily connect to your ABAP system and create beautiful Fiori applications.

More information can be found in our main page: https://www.sap.com/developer/topics/sap-webide.html

Regards,
Michal.

Web ide full-stack is
-slow
-online

-unreachable when service is broken

-not suitable for coding

I'm not surprised that everyone wants to code UI5 with vs code.If the publisher's will is to have only online IDE, it will not last. In addition, the new online web ide (sap business application studio) is an copy from vs code, so why continue to make it online?

Hello Juan,

If your team is experienced enough in UI5 development (can develop pages directly coding in JS/XML, have no problem finding errors with messages thrown in console by UI5 itself) you can use any Web Development IDE with some prior configuration in the machine's workspace.

I code some proofs of concept and prototyping with VS Code, with some help of NodeJS (acting as WebServer / Proxy for OData requests, there is even a blog post explaining how to setup the local server).

I just needed to to some tweaks in workspace to work with Fiori, because FLP Sandbox runtime is inside SDK's test-resources folder. This workspace preparation is a one-time only per app per machine and can be automated with scripts.

There is some extensions about UI5 for code snippets to avoid the pain of writing everything from scratch.

Regards.

technically possible, but it is illegal, you have to buy the license.

web ide is pretty much the only option,

you can go with eclipse if you guys are really really.....good at fiori.
