Features

Custom Origin

Install schemas from any origin: Use the CDN, a downloaded SDK or even your own remote system.

Multi-SDK Support

Use the 'OpenUI5', 'OpenUI5 Nightly' or 'SAPUI5' SDK for your project.

Multi-Version Support

Use any available OpenUI5/SAPUI5 version in your project. Switch versions with ease!

Known Limitations

The xml schema files provided by SAP come with some limitations that this module does not fix (yet):

• Binding syntax is not supported
• ...

Usage behind Proxies

Proxies used according to npm module request. Make sure to have set the following env vars:

• HTTP_PROXY / http_proxy
• HTTPS_PROXY / https_proxy
• NO_PROXY / no_proxy

If you are behind a corporate proxy and experience 'UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY' it is most probably due to an invalid proxy certificate. You can still run ui5-schemas like this at your own risk:

NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 ui5-schemas
# windows
set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
ui5-schemas

If none of this works just download a SAPUI5/OpenUI5 SDK and install schemas from the filesystem:

$ ui5-schemas --origin '/Users/cschuff/Downloads/sapui5-sdk-1.65.1'

What is yet to come?

• Eclipse support
• Feel free to open an issue if you are missing something else!
