UI5ers live
UI5ers live is an online series to promote an intensive interaction within our UI5 community. Once a month, the UI5 team opens up the line for 45 minutes to discuss the latest UI5 features, inform about topics they are currently working on, and exchange views and ideas around UI5. Everybody is invited to get involved and can submit topics for upcoming episodes. Send us your ideas via e-mail and we will get back to you. Or give us a shout in the UI5ers_live channel on OpenUI5 Slack and we can discuss it together.
The episodes are broadcast every second Thursday of a month at 15:15 German time and everybody can join without further action. All episodes will be recorded and published on the OpenUI5 YouTube channel afterwards.

Feb 8, 2024 | In this episode, we will explore the new opportunity to create adaptation projects not only in SAP Business Application Studio (BAS), but also in the popular Visual Studio Code (VSCode) editor, using the SAP Fiori tools extension. This version is currently in an experimental stage and is being released to gather early feedback from our developer community. During the session, we will demonstrate the functionality of this VSCode extension, discuss its current limitations, and eagerly await your valuable feedback. Furthermore, we will delve into the successful release of adaptation projects for S/4HANA Cloud in BAS. This launch enables developers to enhance SAPUI5 applications in Cloud ERP with comprehensive features that were previously exclusive to on-premise customers. We will highlight the unique aspects of this offering and discuss key points to consider. | |
Jan 11, 2024 | First up, we have Volker Buzek, who will showcase his contributions to the Easy-UI5 application templates.

Volker will guide you through the steps, illustrating how this fusion can supercharge your workflow and streamline your development process. Next up is Peter Muessig, spotlighting a new feature of Easy UI5 – nesting generators. This powerful capability allows you to combine and leverage different generators with ease, amplifying their functionalities. Easy-UI5 handles all the download, installation, and execution tasks, simplifying your development experience and giving you more flexibility. But there is more! Peter will also unveil a fresh addition to the UI5 core – the Web Components base class. This class lays the foundation for seamlessly embedding Web Components into the data binding and rendering lifecycle of UI5. Now, you can smoothly incorporate any Web Component of your choice into UI5, elevating them first-class citizens within the framework. | |

Nov 09, 2023 | Join us for an enlightening session where our experts Pieter Janssens and Daniel Nanovski share their experiences and solutions with you. First, Pieter will discuss the challenges he faced while using UAA in combination with ui5-middleware-cfdestination, and how he collaborated with Peter to overcome these obstacles. He will also delve into the issues he encountered with TypeScript transpiling UI5. Pieter will share his journey of reaching out to the UI5 team and the solution they developed together. To make the session even more engaging, Pieter will demonstrate the solution to you, providing a hands-on experience. Next, Daniel will shift focus to enhancing user experience by explaining the intricate technicalities involved in displaying comprehensible descriptions for IDs using SAPUI5 Smart Controls. In the world of business applications, cryptic IDs are ubiquitous. However, these can be confounding for everyday users. Daniel will explain how SAPUI5 Smart controls can be leveraged to address this challenge. He will guide you on utilising proper annotations or control APIs to achieve the desired state, whether it's displaying both the description and ID side by side, showing only the description, or dealing with more technical scenarios where only the IDs are required. | |

July 27, 2023 | At the UI5con keynote it has been announced that the TypeScript support for UI5 is available for productive usage. Because there was only a limited time to show the topic, in this UI5ers live episode, Andreas and Peter will explain the new capabilities in more detail. Another interesting topic from the UI5con keynote is the Bootstrap Evolution as part of the Modular Core. Therefore, Jan will join this UI5ers live episode to provide some more insights into the changes of the UI5 core and the opportunities you have utilizing the lightweight bootstrap which is experimentally available in the latest snapshot of OpenUI5. If you have an idea for a topic, let us know either via e-mail or in the #UI5ers_live channel of the OpenUI5 Slack! | |
June 15, 2023 | We’re looking forward to a reunion with Arnaud Buchholz, an expert in UI5 and particularly in UI5 testing. He is a frequent speaker at conferences, including UI5con 2021 where he introduced a new test runner for UI5 applications that enables the parallel execution of tests. Since then, Arnaud has released two new versions of his ui5-test-runner, which have successfully addressed many initial challenges, such as integrating it with the UI5 Tooling. In this episode, Arnaud will demonstrate the new capabilities of the test runner and discuss his plans for future releases. In addition, Alexandar Mitsev will provide updates on the development of integration cards. He will showcase how to create and embed a UI5 integration card into SAP Work Zone as a fully integrated end-to-end sample. | |
May 11, 2023 | Let's continue our discussion about TypeScript, this time with focus on UI5. Andreas and Peter had been quite busy the last months and made considerable progress towards implementing TypeScript support in UI5. They want to share the latest state of affairs with you. In addition, we invited Mike Zaschka to talk about his ChatGPT-like chat app built with UI5 and to discuss the findings he gained from complex UI5 projects with regard to project structure, utility functions, event handlers, and more. |
UI5con
UI5con is a community-driven event to connect all the UI5 users and fans out there - a common platform to get to know each other, discuss innovations and find solutions.

Sep 29, '23 | Devtoberfest | ui5-test-runner v3 2 years ago, ui5-test-runner was created to solve the problem of long running tests that may crash with karma. On top of allowing parallel executions of tests, the tool also offered interesting features such as screenshots executing during the tests and the promise that it integrates with other browser automation tools. Yet, the tool had some limitations that restricted its adoption: the major one being that it does not integrate with the @ui5/cli framework. The version 3 of the ui5-test-runner is about to be released and it solves many challenges of the first version: It is lighter It is delivered with with puppeteer, selenium-webdriver and jsdom integration It is capable of running tests of an already served UI5 application (and hence integrates better with @ui5/cli) It has better reporting (and debugging) features During this session, Arnaud Buchholz presents the version 3 of the tool and demonstrates its new capabilities as well as discuss about its future. | |
