Build Skeleton React and UI5 Projects

In this step, you will create a React skeleton project which will be used to create your Luigi app.

1. Open a Terminal or Command Prompt window and navigate to the space where you want to install the app. Then create a new folder:

   Shell

   Copy

   mkdir luigi-react-ui5
   cd luigi-react-ui5
   

2. Copy and paste this command into the Terminal/Command Prompt to create a React app. This may take a few minutes:

   Shell

   Copy

   npx create-react-app react-core-mf && cd react-core-mf
   

3. Eject the project to customize the webpack configuration. If you get an error, you need to commit any changes before running the command. More information can be found here.:

   Shell

   Copy

   echo yes | npm run eject
   

   ​

4. Install dependencies:
   Shell

   Copy

   npm i -P @luigi-project/core @luigi-project/client fundamental-styles@0.11.0 @sap-theming/theming-base-content react-router-dom @ui5/webcomponents @ui5/webcomponents-react
   npm i copy-webpack-plugin@5 webpack webpack-cli @babel/core @babel/preset-env babel-loader --save-dev
   

   ​

5. Replace strings (these commands have been adapted from the standard Luigi React example.) Note that you may get a warning such as event not found, but this can safely be ignored. Copy and paste the following:
   Shell

   Copy

   sed "s/const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');/const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');const CopyWebpackPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin');/g" config/webpack.config.js > config/webpack.config.tmp.js && mv config/webpack.config.tmp.js config/webpack.config.js
   
   sed "s/new HtmlWebpackPlugin(/new CopyWebpackPlugin([\
   {context: 'public', to: 'index.html', from: 'index.html'  },\
   {context: 'node_modules\/@luigi-project\/core',to: '.\/luigi-core',from: {glob: '**',dot: true}}],\
   {ignore: ['.gitkeep', '**\/.DS_Store', '**\/Thumbs.db'],debug: 'warning'\
   }),\
   new HtmlWebpackPlugin(/g" config/webpack.config.js > config/webpack.config.tmp.js && mv config/webpack.config.tmp.js config/webpack.config.js
   
   sed "s/template: paths.appHtml,/template: paths.appHtml,\
   filename: 'sampleapp.html',/g" config/webpack.config.js > config/webpack.config.tmp.js && mv config/webpack.config.tmp.js config/webpack.config.js
   
   sed "s/public\/index.html/public\/sampleapp.html/g" config/paths.js > config/paths.tmp.js && mv config/paths.tmp.js config/paths.js
   
   sed "s/publicUrl + '\/index.html',/publicUrl + '\/sampleapp.html',/g" config/webpack.config.js > config/webpack.config.tmp.js && mv config/webpack.config.tmp.js config/webpack.config.js
   
   sed "s/const isWsl = require('is-wsl');//g" config/webpack.config.js > config/webpack.config.tmp.js && mv config/webpack.config.tmp.js config/webpack.config.js
   
   #This can throw a warning, it can be ignored
   sed "s/!isWsl/true/g" config/webpack.config.js > config/webpack.config.tmp.js && mv config/webpack.config.tmp.js config/webpack.config.js
   
   echo "const path = require('path');
   module.exports = {
       entry: './src/luigi-config/luigi-config.es6.js',
       output: {
           filename: 'luigi-config.js',
           path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'public'),
       },
   };">webpack.config.js
   
   sed 's/"scripts": {/"scripts": {\
   \    "buildConfig":"webpack --config webpack.config.js",/1' package.json > p.tmp.json && mv p.tmp.json package.json
   
   echo '{
       "globals": {
           "Luigi": "readonly"
       }
   }'>.eslintrc.json
   

6. Create a new folder:

   Shell

   Copy

   mkdir -p src/luigi-config
   mkdir src/views
   

   ​

7. Download the Luigi React configuration:
   Shell

   Copy

    curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SAP/luigi/master/core/examples/luigi-example-react/public/luigi-config.js > src/luigi-config/luigi-config.es6.js
   

8. Ins​tall and run the configuration:

   Shell

   Copy

   npm i
   npm run buildConfig
   

   ​

9. Move back into the root directory:
   Shell

   Copy

   cd ..
   

In this step, you will create a skeleton UI5 project for your UI5 micro-frontend.

1. If you didn’t already, navigate to the root folder of your project in the terminal.

2. Create a new folder:

   Shell

   Copy

   mkdir ui5-mf && cd ui5-mf
   

3. Install the UI5 project generator:

   Shell

   Copy

   npm install -g yo generator-easy-ui5
   

4. Enter this command in the Terminal/Command Prompt:

   Shell

   Copy

   yo easy-ui5
   

5. Choose generator-ui5-project. Use the following settings:
