Browser
Action
Clicking the browser action icon in the
address bar provides you with:
a) Information on the used SAPUI5
version
b) Links to the what’s New in SAPUI5
section and the SAPUI5 documentation
Control
Inspector
This tab shows the structure and
nesting of the SAPUI5 controls. You can search and filter for specific
controls. You have the options to show/hide the control's namespace and
attributes in the tree.
Hovering over a specific branch of the
tree highlights the corresponding control in the app.
Additionally, you can right click on
any SAPUI5 control from the app and select Inspect UI5 control. This
automatically selects the control in the tree and you can review its properties
directly.
Properties
In this tab, you can see the properties
that have been set for the selected control. Additionally, the inherited
properties are also listed.
You can change the values of the
properties. The changes will be validated against the framework and rendered on
the fly.
Bindings
In this tab, you can see the bindings
for a specific control. The number of bindings is displayed in parentheses in
the tab title. The model property holds a link to the corresponding binding
file. Clicking on the link opens the Model section.
Application
Information
In this tab, you can see overall
information for your app – for example, the exact SAPUI5 version you are
running, the version of your browser, and the app URL. The information on the
loaded libraries and modules is collapsed by default.
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
