Reuse Library Support

Currently, a library to be used in your project has to reside in your workspace, in either SAP Business Application Studio or Visual Studio Code (VS Code). With SAP Fiori tools, you can reuse a library or component in your SAP Fiori apps by adding a reference to another project.

Creating a Reusable Library

To create a new reusable library that can be referenced in your SAP Fiori application, do the following steps:

  1. Open the Command Palette ([CMD/CTRL] + [Shift] + [P] ) and execute the Fiori: Open Reusable Library Generator command.
  2. Provide your library module name and namespace, and choose a minimum version of SAPUI5.
  3. From the Library Folder Path drop-down list, choose the directory for the new reusable library. The library folder generated consists of the namespace and module name.
  4. You can optionally choose to generate your library with TypeScript.

Adding Reference to Reuse a Library

Prerequisites

  1. A reuse library project is cloned or imported into your workspace.
  2. An SAP Fiori project is already in your workspace.

Steps

To add a reference for reusing an SAP Fiori library, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the Command Palette ([CMD/CTRL] + [Shift] + [P] ) and execute the Fiori: Add Reference to SAP Fiori Reusable Libraries command.
  2. From the Project Folder Path drop-down list, select the SAP Fiori project that exists in your current workspace.
  3. Select Reusable Library Source as a workspace.
  4. Select reusable libraries or components from the list.
  5. Click Finish.

When you click Finish, the following files get updated with a reference to the selected reuse library:

  • ui5.yaml
  • ui5-local.yaml
  • manifest.json

Deploying a Reuse Library Project Using SAP Fiori tools

Deploying a Reuse Library Project using SAP Fiori tools.

  1. Add a Reuse Library project to your workspace.
  2. In the resulting migration pop-up window, click on Start Migration.
  3. From the list, select the project that you would like to migrate.
  4. Now, click on Start Migration.
  5. Once the dependencies are installed, you're ready to use SAP Fiori tools to deploy to an ABAP environment.
  6. To generate the deployment configuration, see Generate Deployment Configuration ABAP.
  7. To deploy the project to ABAP environment, see Deployment to ABAP.
