[Former Member]

Hi,

if any technical resource, who has skills in NodeJs, ReactJs, AngularJs skills, would like to contribute in SAP projects, in which ares of SAP, the resource would be best fit.

is it SAPUI5 custom app developments, or SCP application developments.

Do SAP fiori/UI5 apps make use of any of the skills from Node, React, Angular.

Thanks,

Hi Madhu.

Any person with that skillset would be an excellent addition to a SAP UX project, even though the the different tech might not be directly relevant.

All mentioned tech display an understanding of modern JavaScript development, and that's a great start. An understanding of nodejs, will greatly improve the ability to set up a local dev environment. The Angular/React knowledge will mainly be relevant as experience with SPAs, and working with a library/framework. If a person wants to go into Fiori/UI5 development, you can't get past the need to learn OpenUI5/SAPUI5. If you get confused about the naming, OpenUI5 is the open source framework, which SAPUI5 is based on. The difference is that SAPUI5 includes a couple of extra libraries, with a different licence agreement.
In my opinion, an experienced developer won't need much time, before getting descent productivity on the framework. openSAP has some great courses on UI5, and the documentation is also very good.

• Evolved Web Apps with SAPUI

I also think that a developer with said skillset, would find it highly interesting developing on SAP Cloud Platform, using the Cloud Application Programming Model.

• https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/cp-apm-nodejs-create-service.html

Lastly, I would recommend you to take a look at dj.adams.sap stream "Hands-On SAP Dev" on Twitch. Here he (usually) programs using the Cloud Application Programming Model and JavaScript. There are replays available on Twitch, and all episodes are also on the SAP Developers YouTube channel.

SAP is an extremely exiting place to be at the moment, for someone knowing JavaScript development. There are endless opportunities around SAP Fiori and SAP Cloud Platform at the moment, and I predict a shortage in available resources in the coming years, if we can’t convince more JavaScript developers that SAP is one of the coolest places to be.

Coming to Fiori Apps it can be created using "Fiori Elements" also which don't need the knowledge of these js libraries , just knowledge of creating appropriate backend Services is enough.

this is just for initial creation, if you need to tweak, you still need js&ui5 knowledge.

Its definitely "SAPUI5 custom app developments" wherein you can use Node.js , React js , Angular Js skills, reason being SAP UI5 runtime itself is a library built using JS like all above.

So in your UI5 programs you can definitely link these JS libraries and use the according functionalities provided by them. ( I don't have any idea on them )

Coming to Fiori Apps it can be created using "Fiori Elements" also which don't need the knowledge of these js libraries , just knowledge of creating appropriate backend Services is enough.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
