ui5-task-copy-shim-resources

Custom UI5 task for copying runtime shim resources at build time.

This is especially useful if you have some ProjectShims e.g. for npm dependencies which should also be available in final the build.

Prerequisites

Make sure your project is using the latest UI5 Tooling.

Getting started

Install

Custom task

Add the custom task as development dependency to your project.

With yarn:

yarn add -D ui5-task-copy-shim-resources

Or npm:

npm i -D ui5-task-copy-shim-resources

Additionally the custom task needs to be manually defined as a ui5 dependency in your project's package.json:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "ui5-task-copy-shim-resources": "^0.1.0"
  },
  "ui5": {
    "dependencies": [
      "ui5-task-copy-shim-resources"
    ]
  }
}

Configure

Custom task

Register the custom task in your project's ui5.yaml under builder/customTasks:

specVersion: "2.2"
metadata:
  name: my-app
type: application
# ...
# further configuration
# ...
builder:
  customTasks:
    - name: ui5-task-copy-shim-resources

          - "/thirdparty/regenerator-runtime/runtime.js"
        globs:
          - "/thirdparty/lodash/*.js"

      specVersion: "2.2"
      type: module # Use module type
      metadata:
        name: regenerator-runtime
      resources:
        configuration:
          paths:
            /thirdparty/regenerator-runtime/: ""
    # lodash utility library
    lodash:

        name: lodash
      resources:
        configuration:
          paths:
