## What it does

The SAP SE plugin equips coding agents with MCP tools to scaffold and validate SAPUI5 and OpenUI5 applications. It inspects project structures, runs the official UI5 linter, and fetches API reference entries for framework controls directly inside the session.

Built-in skill guides enforce SAP coding standards across views, controllers, and tests. They cover accessibility requirements, layout container choices for tables, integration card manifests, and OData V2 or V4 bindings. Integration testing guidelines include failure inspection via `sap.ui.test.qunitPause.pauseRule` and control inspection through `sap.ui.testrecorder.ControlTree` on UI5 1.147 and newer.

Version requirements matter here. Guides for `sap.ui.mdc` and smart controls focus on SAPUI5 1.136+ LTS. If you need automated TypeScript migration, this plugin will not do it: SAP SE maintains the separate `ui5-typescript-conversion` plugin for that workflow.

### GitHub Copilot

**Command from the source**
```bash
copilot plugin install ui5@awesome-copilot
```

## When to use it
- Validate source code with the official UI5 linter
- Inspect control specifications directly via UI5 API documentation
- Configure OPA5 integration journeys with pause-on-failure debugging
- Select the right table control among `sap.m.Table`, `SmartTable`, and `sap.ui.mdc.Table`

## Example prompts
- Run the UI5 linter on this project and report rule violations
- Check this view against the UI5 accessibility guidelines
- Write an OPA5 integration journey test for our main table view

### 📋 Skills

#### ui5-best-practices

Development guidelines and coding standards derived from official SAP UI5 guidelines:
- **Async module loading** - sap.ui.define patterns
- **Data binding with OData types** - Type-safe data binding
- **CSP compliance** - Content Security Policy best practices
- **TypeScript event handlers** - Modern event handling (UI5 >= 1.115.0)
- **CAP integration** - Integration with SAP Cloud Application Programming Model
- **Form creation rules** - Form and SimpleForm patterns
- **i18n management** - Internationalization workflows
- **Component initialization** - ComponentSupport patterns

**Note**: For TypeScript conversion specifically, use the separate [`ui5-typescript-conversion`](https://github.com/UI5/plugins-coding-agents/tree/main/plugins/ui5-typescript-conversion) plugin.

#### ui5-best-practices-accessibility

Accessibility guidelines and review checklist for UI5 views, fragments, and controllers:

- **Landmarks** - `landmarkInfo` and `accessibleRole` for `DynamicPage`, `Page`, `Panel`, `ObjectPage`, `FlexibleColumnLayout`
- **Labeling** - `<Label labelFor>` for inputs, `ariaLabelledBy` for tables, tooltips for icon-only buttons, `alt` for standalone icons and images
- **Heading levels** - Explicit `level` on `<Title>`, no heading level jumps within a view
- **Focus handling** - `initialFocus` on `Dialog`/`Popover`, fast navigation groups, no `tabindex > 0`
- **Keyboard shortcuts** - `CommandExecution` for action buttons that should support keyboard shortcuts
- **Invisible messaging** - `InvisibleMessage.announce()` for dynamic state changes visible to sighted users only
- **Reading order** - Controls not visually reordered out of DOM sequence; `ariaDescribedBy` pointing to correct DOM order
- **Target size** - `reactiveAreaMode` for interactive controls in dense layouts

#### ui5-best-practices-integration-cards

Development guidelines for UI Integration Cards (also known as UI5 Integration Cards):
- **Declarative card types** - List, Table, Calendar, Timeline, Object, Analytical
- **Building a card** - Structure of the declarative `manifest.json` format for a UI Integration Card
- **Parameter and destination binding** - `{parameters>/key/value}` and `{{destinations.name}}` syntax
- **Data rules** - Where the data block goes (`sap.card/data`/`content/data`/`header/data`), wrapping URLs in destinations, and requiring JSON responses
- **Manifest validation** - JSON, schema, and deprecated-property checks before declaring done
- **Local preview workflow** - Reusing existing entry points or serving via a `<ui-integration-card>` HTML page
- **Configuration Editor patterns** - `dt/Configuration.js` paired with `manifest.json`, mirroring fields and `manifestpath` targets
- **Analytical cards** - 44 chart types with required UIDs, feeds, and per-type examples
- **i18n** - Bind all user-facing strings to the i18n model; never hardcode
- **Actions** - Use the `actions` property for links and interactions; never inline `<a>` tags or hand-roll URL handlers

#### ui5-best-practices-mdc

Development guidelines for `sap.ui.mdc` model-driven controls with OData V4 and JSON models (SAPUI5 1.136+ LTS):

- **Delegate pattern** - Base delegates, `fetchProperties`, `updateBindingInfo`, PropertyInfo structure
- **Per-control references** - FilterBar, Chart, Field, FilterField, ValueHelp, Link, MultiValueField
- **JSON model support** - Custom delegates, TypeMap registration, manual PropertyInfo
```
