Open UX Tools

The Open UX tools project aims to provide open source modules that make the development of SAP Fiori applications more efficient. The project is maintained by the same team that is responsible for SAP Fiori tools and driven by the SAP community. The main goal of this project is to collaborate with the community to create transparency and therefore increase the adoption of our tools.

Collaboration: SAP has a great and active development community that is eager to help improve SAP products. With SAP Fiori tools, we have collaborated with stakeholders using roundtables, surveys, and usability testing. We have even collaborated using SAP's incident management systems, connecting with users that did not just report issues but also debugged and identified the root cause. With Open UX tools, we want to take this collaboration to the next level by empowering users to contribute findings, fixes, and improvements to the project.

Transparency: Anyone can inspect the sources, check for inconsistencies or problems, or get inspired to enhance the tools for the SAP Fiori community. Transparency matters to us. It builds trust in our tools and promotes more open communication.

Adoption: The first consumer of these modules is SAP Fiori tools but every module is designed to be reusable by anyone building any kind of tools to develop SAP Fiori applications. This may be other open source projects or internal projects with very specific use cases. With our initial set of modules, we want to enable generator/scaffolding projects to use building blocks to create a common project structure across the SAP ecosystem.

Modules

Our long-term vision is to completely transition our SAP Fiori tools to open source. This is not an easy endeavor due to the size of the code base and dependencies to other not-yet-open-sourced modules. If you would like to better understand how we started and how we are planning to move forward, please have a look at our blog posts History and vision of the Open UX tools and The Open UX Tools Journey Continues.

As a starting point, we have extracted the templates for generating SAP Fiori applications. The templates have been dissected into small but easy to use building blocks that are simple to combine. We then continued adding the most important UI5 tooling middlewares. The repository also contains reusable helper modules e.g. to modify UI5 tooling configuration files.
