SAP Web IDE
SAP Web IDE offers highly efficient tools to easily build and extend apps applying SAP Fiori UX and generic SAPUI5 apps using wizards, templates, sample applications, drag and drop tools, code editor and much more.
SAP Web IDE is available on SAP HANA Cloud Platform and can be accessed via SAP Store for productive or trial usage.
SAP has brought its own IDE into play, while many users are still stuck on conventional IDE like eclipse, which by the way is the best platform for the beginners. But for developers, who already have taken their first step towards development in sap ui5, I would personally recommend using web IDE, since it allows following proper guidelines and following best practices while coding.
Applications developed with SAP Web IDE can run on different platforms like SAP HANA Cloud Platform, SAP ABAP using Business Server Pages (BSP), or SAP Mobile Platform (SMP).
SAP Web IDE comes with integrated deployment options for
1) SAP HANA Cloud
Platform
2) SAPUI5 ABAP
Repository on a SAP ABAP Server
3) SAP Fiori launchpad
4) SAP HANA Cloud
Platform mobile services
5) SAP Mobile Platform.
The toolkit supports hybrid application development for Android and iOS.
Features of SAP web IDE
Free-style coding
SAP Web IDE supports free-style coding by providing robust
editors with capabilities of code completion (XML, property files, JavaScript
and SAPUI5), code validation, pre- and user-defined code templates, and many
more. Advanced Search on basis of file name across the workspace allows the
users with a better coding experience.
Layout Editor (WYSIWYG) tooling
It allows Drag and drop editor which provides a
user-friendly visual editor including control galleries to easily build and
customize applications.
Wizards, Templates and Sample Applications
Project templates provided by a wizard-based gallery allows
you to create new applications with only a few clicks, following specific best
practices. In addition you can create projects based on Sample Applications.
Sample Applications are complete applications with all coding and mock data.
They provide best-practice coding and comprehensive comments.
Extensibility support
SAP Web IDE provides the ability to extend existing SAP
Fiori applications in a nice and easy manner through a visual extensibility
editor to graphically choose an element you would like to extend. SAP Fiori,
cloud edition leverages SAP Web Ide to extend and customize SAP Fiori apps.
Instant preview
SAP Web IDE includes an instant preview so you can launch
the application in the browser at different resolutions and in different
languages, either with real or mock data.
Mock data support
Mock data can be automatically generated or manually created
to run the application independently for front-end/back-end development
de-coupling, testing and demoing purposes.
Support for several environments
Seamlessly run on any device - automatically renders for
phone, tablet, and desktop. Integrated deployment to SAP platforms: HANA Cloud
Platform (HCP), SAP ABAP, Fiori launchpad (FLP), HANA Cloud Platform mobile
Services (HCPms) and SAP Mobile Platform (SMP).
Extensible and modular architecture for “adding your own
plug-ins”
SAP Web IDE has an extensible and modular architecture built
up of plug-ins. SAP web IDE streamlines the ability to add your own
plug-in/template via wizards and templates.
Benefits of
using SAP web IDE
Reduced cost and complexity
SAP Web IDE is offered as a cloud solution hosted on SAP
HANA Cloud Platform, so no initial installation is required, and local IT
infrastructure is untouched. Developers can access development projects
anytime, anywhere - all that is needed is a PC with a browser. SAP Web IDE also
provides you the ability to develop your application once and deploy to on
premise (SAPUI5 ABAP repository), Cloud (HCP, Fiori launchpad), HANA Cloud
Platform mobile services (HCPms) and SAP Mobile Platform (SMP). You can then
run your application on any device - mobile, tablet, and desktop.
Increased productivity
SAP Web IDE aims to increase development productivity by
delivering a holistic development experience, providing efficient tools e.g.
templates, wizards, sample applications, visual editors, code completion, code
snippets, mock data, instant preview, integrated deployment and SAP best
practices to rapidly build test and deploy applications.
Empower developers, business experts and designers and
reduced training effort required
SAP Web IDE comes with a user experience adjusted to both,
developers and non-technical people. Wizard Templates, Sample Applications and
Layout Editor (WYSIWYG) tooling can be used as jump starter to create new
SAPUI5 applications following the Fiori UX guidelines and help to understand
SAPUI5 concepts.
Screen Shots
Here I am providing some screen shots of Web IDE, to help
you understand better.
This is the first screen of Sap Web IDE, where you could
start a new project from template or build a new extension project
Code editor with code completion with an API reference pane.
It includes, creating the project from the existing
templates. You could also choose fiori like template or even master detail
template.
Create hybrid apps (also known as Kapsel apps) using Apache
Cordova and the SAP Mobile Platform SDK
It includes a code editor and Search & Replace
capabilities linked to the code editor.
This was all about SAP Web IDE introduction, in the next
blog I will show you how to create your first application with SAP Web IDE.
