Sapui5 Project Structure

In a SAPUI5 (SAP User Interface for HTML5) project within a Business Application Studio (BAS) environment, you typically organize your files and folders in a structured manner to maintain clarity and facilitate development. Here's a common project structure for a SAPUI5 application.


.vscode : The .vscode folder in a SAPUI5 project within Visual Studio Code (VS Code) typically contains configuration settings specific to your development environment. You might commonly find a launch.json file inside this folder, which typically contains configurations for launching debugging sessions. It specifies details like the type of debugging (e.g., browser-based debugging), the entry point for debugging, and any additional options required for debugging SAPUI5 applications effectively.

.node_modules: This directory holds all the project dependencies installed via package managers like npm.

webapp :This is the main directory where your application resides.

  • controllerDirectory containing controller files for handling logic.
  • cssDirectory containing CSS files for styling the UI components.
  • i18nDirectory containing internationalization (i18n) files for language support.
  • modelDirectory containing model files for data handling.

  • test/: This directory holds all the test files.
  • unit/: Directory for unit tests using frameworks like QUnit.

  • integration/: Directory for integration tests.
  • viewDirectory containing view files (XML or JavaScript) for defining the UI.

Component.js: The SAPUI5 component definition.

index.html: The HTML file serves as the entry point of your application.

manifest.json: The descriptor file defining metadata, dependencies, and routing.

.gitignore : This file to specify which files and directories should be ignored by version control systems like Git. This helps keep your repository clean and avoids committing unnecessary files or sensitive information.

package-lock.json : This file is typically generated when you use npm (Node Package Manager) to manage project dependencies. This file serves as a detailed record of the exact versions of all installed packages and their dependencies.

Package.json :This file is a crucial part of the project structure. It serves multiple purposes, primarily revolving around managing project dependencies and providing metadata about the project.

README.md : This file is an essential component of the project structure. It typically contains information about the project, its purpose, how to set it up, and how to use it.

ui5-local.yaml : This file is typically used for configuration when running the UI5 tooling locally. The UI5 tooling provides a modern development experience for SAPUI5 and OpenUI5 projects, including features like project scaffolding, development server, build tools, and more.

ui5.yaml : This file is used for project configuration when working with the UI5 tooling. The UI5 tooling provides various features and utilities for SAPUI5 and OpenUI5 development, such as project scaffolding, development server, build tools, and more.
