abap2UI5 — samples

Learn the abap2UI5 basics — 150+ ready-to-run apps, from a two-line Hello World to complete applications.

Install them, click through, read the source: every sample adds one idea — a binding, an event, a table, a popup — so the collection reads like a course. It is the fastest way to learn abap2UI5 development.

Your first app

CLASS zcl_my_app DEFINITION PUBLIC.
  PUBLIC SECTION.
    INTERFACES z2ui5_if_app.
ENDCLASS.

CLASS zcl_my_app IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD z2ui5_if_app~main.
    client->message_box_display( `Hello World` ).
  ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.

That is a complete UI5 app — one interface, one method, and abap2UI5 renders the rest. Everything in this repository grows from this pattern.

Try it in 60 seconds

1. Install abap2UI5 — this repository ships apps, not the framework.

2. Pull this repository with abapGit, using the branch that matches your system:

   Branch	System	Content
   main	on-premise NW 7.50+ and ABAP Cloud, BTP, S/4HANA Cloud	everything
   702	NW 7.02 – 7.4x	portable set, downported

3. Run Z2UI5_CL_SMP_APP_000 — the overview app linking every sample of the portable set.

The learning path

This repository is step 1 of 3. When the basics feel familiar, the other two sample repositories take you further:

	Repository	What you learn	Where to start
1️⃣	samples — 📍 you are here	the abap2UI5 basics — bindings, events, popups, navigation, complete apps	run Z2UI5_CL_SMP_APP_000
2️⃣	samples-controls	how to use every UI5 control — the UI5 Demo Kit rebuilt with abap2UI5	run z2ui5_cl_dmo_app_overview
3️⃣	samples-stack	how abap2UI5 plays with your stack — OData, RAP, WebSockets, the Fiori Launchpad and more	pick your technology in its package table

What's inside

• src/01 "samples" — cloud-ready, downportable and plain OpenUI5 1.71: the sample catalog (bindings, events, popups, framework actions, custom controls and use cases) plus a small curated set of control demos — the complete control reference lives in samples-controls. Present on both branches.
• src/00 "system" — no demo category: 00/01 holds the helper classes the samples share (present on both branches), 00/97 the experimental samples and 00/98 the test and scaffolding apps. Everything but 00/01 is stripped from 702.

Every sample runs on ABAP Cloud — that is why main needs no cloud-specific branch. main is the default branch and is checked against both ABAP Standard and ABAP Cloud on every pull request; 702 is generated from main on every push — never commit to it directly.

Layout, naming and code conventions are documented in AGENTS.md — read it before contributing.

Every pull request is linted against ABAP Standard (v750), ABAP Cloud and 7.02 (after the downport), checked with the abap2UI5-linter, and the overview catalog and docs are verified against the folder tree.
