For the tools used for SAPUI5 content development, guidelines and recommendations have been introduced.

The following guidelines and recommendations apply:

  • To make issues with mixed tabs/spaces and windows-style linebreaks visible immediately, we recommend to configure your JavaScript editor to display whitespace and linebreak characters.

  • We also recommend to configure the code formatter of your code editor accordingly. The default formatter for JavaScript in Eclipse is already pretty ok.

  • Do not use the auto formatter to format entire files. The auto formatter handles many lines and makes it more difficult to find out who actually wrote the code.

ESLint

SAPUI5 contains a mandatory ruleset for ESLint. For a complete list of rules and settings, see ESLint Code Checks. For the ESLint configuration file, see ESLint Configuration File.
