Smart and flexible: sap.ui.mdc released for productive use

Your patience has paid off: The sap.ui.mdc library is available for productive use in SAPUI5 and OpenUI5 since version 1.124!

What you get

As previously announced in this blog, the library helps to build enterprise-ready smart controls or applications with SAP Fiori Design user experience, no matter which backend technology you are using. It offers a flexible and comprehensive reuse approach with implementable delegates for the sap.ui.mdc controls. Usage of specific protocols like FHIR or even plain REST services are now possible without having to start from scratch.

Here’s another interesting fact: sap.ui.mdc enables SAP Fiori elements to provide the powerful floorplans and the versatile flexible programming model for OData V4. Each sap.ui.mdc control has a corresponding building block, which you can find in the flexible programing model explorer. It is no surprise that the SAP BTP Developer’s Guide recommends SAPUI5 and SAP Fiori elements as the technology for developing user interfaces.

On top of everything we have added a nice bonus package for the official release: You can now explore and test many more features in the additional samples in the Demo Kit under Metadata-Driven Controls (sap.ui.mdc), for example, sap.ui.mdc overview.

Start your deep dive into the sap.ui.mdc world by following our tutorial: SAP-samples/ui5-mdc-json-tutorial. A recording is available from Devtoberfest, where we demonstrated the tutorial live. You can check it out here.

Outlook

You might wonder what comes next. We are still working on some aspects of the library. Those include the chart, which remains in experimental state for now. We have also planned to provide a metadata driven form, which should make it easy to allow users to create new entities. Isn’t that exciting? We keep you informed about any updates.

For more information about the controls in sap.ui.mdc, see also the API Reference and the Documentation in the Demo Kit. We would love to hear from you about your experience with the library. Leave a comment with your feedback or questions!
