Introduction

UI5 Antares Pro is a modular SAPUI5 library designed to standardize and accelerate the implementation of CRUD operations for OData EntitySets in enterprise applications.

Leveraging the OData model defined in the consuming application, the library dynamically generates UI elements such as dialogs, forms, and tables. Full lifecycle handling is provided, including data binding, submission, and error management. Support is also included for custom validation logic, which can be implemented by the consumer as needed.

Attention

The library currently supports only sap.ui.model.odata.v2.ODataModel. Support for OData v4 is not yet available.

Info

UI5 Antares Pro is the successor of the UI5 Antares library, completely rebuilt from the ground up with a renewed code base to ensure higher code quality, better maintainability, and enhanced performance. It adds advanced capabilities such as comprehensive navigation handling and improved flexibility for robust SAPUI5 apps.

Integration Modes

Two integration modes are supported:

  • Dialog Mode
    A ready-to-use sap.m.Dialog is generated with embedded form and table components for rapid deployment.

  • Component Mode
    A reusable UI component is exposed, which can be integrated via sap.ui.core.ComponentContainer. This allows the consumer to position and style the component freely within the application layout while benefiting from the same functionality.

Core Features

UI5 Antares Pro promotes consistency, reusability, and reduced development effort across SAPUI5-based projects, making it a valuable foundation for scalable and maintainable enterprise UI development.

  • Auto Dialog Generation
    Automatically generates fully functional dialogs with forms and tables based on OData metadata.

  • Reusable Components
    Provides library components that can be integrated flexibly within different UI layouts.

  • ValueList Support
    Advanced filter and value help dialogs for improved data selection experience.

  • ValidationLogic Integration
    Built-in support for complex validation rules and custom validator functions.

  • Navigation (Association) Handling
    Handles 1-N and 1-1 OData associations gracefully with auto-generated tables and navigation properties.

  • Lifecycle Management
    Manages data binding, submission, error handling, and UI refresh cycles seamlessly.

  • TypeScript-Based
    Developed in TypeScript for improved maintainability and type safety.

Compatibility

UI5 Antares Pro is developed using TypeScript and is fully compatible with both JavaScript-based and TypeScript-based SAPUI5 applications.
