Building (Minifying, concatinating, etc..) SAP UI5/Fiori applications (Eclipse IDE)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have downloaded a standard Fiori application and modified for my business requirements. I used Eclipse Kepler based IDE. My question is that what is the SAP recommended process to rebuild the source code with minified files, debug files and Component-preload.js, etc...

I referred to one of the blog in  http://scn.sap.com/people/sathishkv/blog/2014/09/04/building-your-sap-ui5-application-using-grunt#co...

But that did not work for me. I don't find any other posts related to automating this process of continuous integration. Can someone recommend any ways? If Grunt is the option, can someone share the standard Grunt file for Fiori apps. I hope this should be a standard one.

Regards,

Ramesh

Yes this is all very new to the SAP space. The blog is quite good. One of the best ways to learn is to fork the UI5 codebase and set that up locally.

I went through the process recently and wrote it up here

If you go through the grunt tasks in github.com/sap/openui5 you should learn a lot.

HTH,

Nigel
