Summary


The introduction of the SAPUI5 libraries finally separated the powerful and efficient backend logic of the SAP systems from the UI. This decision allowed greater flexibility in creating new applications with the use of modern technologies. Thanks to the fact that the libraries are based on well-known and well-tested modules, they are compatible with all major modern browsers and have mature development and testing tools. Together with samples and templates, SAPUI5 authors created several guidelines, recommendations, and project structures, which were introduced in the previous sections. The SAPUI5-based applications are currently the most recent UI technology in the SAP environment; therefore, this chapter is the last one covering the topic of UIs. In the next chapter, the main focus will be placed on more business-oriented logic and possibilities available in the Business Object Processing Framework.
