It is coded as a run-once generator to scaffold a Launchpad Plugin project and provides the following extension samples:

• Header
• Footer
• Action Button

It also provides a minimum scaffolding to connect into a backend server. It's up to you address any other missing thing that you need (probably a lot more than you expect).

This was created for personal use and up until now I was using locally with npm link trick. I've seen more questions popping up about Launchpad Plugin after WebIDE trial shutdown, that's why I'm publishing it (since walkthrough is only helpful if you already have a working Launchpad Plugin project).

This follows Apache "It works" principle: bare minimum generator and that's it. Any add-on beyond Launchpad Plugin code must be done by you. Time to test your JavaScript and documentation reading skills.

This generator DOES NOT PROVIDE any kind of help to things listed below and it is up to you work it out:

• Deployment infrastructure
• Mock server/page
• Unit testing

The project may also not run out-of-the-box if your UI5cli is not globally installed. You can either do it or adjust package.json to use local version (read NPM documentation).

Call it inside an empty folder. I didn't bother to handle writing into a subfolder, it will output project files into current working directory.

Do not call it again on an existing project, it WILL overwrite files.

Don't create hope, this project is managed as abandonware because it already does what I need: a working Launchpad Plugin.

Feel free to fork and provide a better generator.

Are you still here? Congratulations!!! Welcome aboard!
