grunt-sapui5

Recently SAP released new Web IDE version and grunt plugin for building SAPUI5 projects.

You can find more details here:

or here:

After starting using it I found a problem: plugin @sap/grunt-sapui5-bestpractice-build didn't work for libraries

Reviewing the source code I realized that in fact it was just a plugin reusing grunt-openui5 plugin but in a very restricted configuration.

Also there were more issue we solved with the current plugin:

• We left minified Component.js file in the build ( sometimes while navigation we still need them )
• We transform folder name into module name ( a.b.c into a/b/c ) in preload-* files

Getting Started

This plugin can be used both locally and in the cloud-based IDE. To use it you need to have at least one dependency in your package.json file

  "devDependencies": {
    "grunt-sapui5": "^1.3.18-g"
  }

To build the project you'll need Gruntfile.js containing at least these lines:

module.exports = function (grunt) {
    'use strict';
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sapui5');
};

To build the project just type grunt in the console for your project.

Please notice the standard SAP plugin requires webapp folder.

Meanwhile you can redefine config in your Gruntfile.js in a similar way like I did in sapui5.js

To use it locally you will need to register @sap namespace like this:

  npm config set @sap:registry "https://npm.sap.com" -g
