[OpenUI5] SAP Fiori elements add-on for OpenUI5 using an OData V4 service

Recently I found this blog post about the new SAP Fiori elements add-on for OpenUI5.
https://blogs.sap.com/2020/12/21/now-available-sap-fiori-elements-add-on-for-openui5/
It includes a little exercise to try it out for yourself. I wrote down all steps I had to make on my Linux Mint 20 installation.
These two links also helped me a lot.
https://github.com/sap-samples/cloud-cap-samples
https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/get-started/

Prerequisites (Node.js, Visual Studio Code, SAP Fiori tools, Git)

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_15.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
node --version
npm -v 

Change npm’s default directory to prevent permission errors.
https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally

mkdir ~/.npm-global
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
mkdir ~/.npm-global/lib
#add the following line to your .bashrc or .profile or .zshrc
export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

Step 1: Provide an OData V4 service

git clone https://github.com/sap-samples/cloud-cap-samples remote-odata-service
cd remote-odata-service
npm i 
npm i -g @sap/cds-dk
cds watch fiori

Step 2: Generate a SAP Fiori elements List Report Object Page (LROP) app with Fiori tools

1. Open VSC, press Ctrl + P and search for > Fiori: Open Application Generator

2. Choose SAP Fiori elements application
In my case there was no default generator, so first I had to install it.

npm install -g @sap/generator-fiori-elements@latest

This can also be done directly in VSC.

3. Select List Report Object Page
4. Select Connect to an OData Service as Data source and enter as URL http://localhost:4004/browse
5. Choose Books as the Main entity and texts as Navigation entity
6. Complete the mandatory information module name (e.g. bookshop) and Project folder path for storing your app. Of course, you can also fill in the optional information.

Step 3: Make changes in package.json and ui5.yaml required for using OpenUI5

package.json

{
	"name": "fiorielements_openui5",
	"version": "0.0.1",
	"private": true,
	"sapux": true,
	"description": "A Fiori application.",
	"keywords": [
		"ui5",
		"openui5",
		"sapui5"
	],
	"main": "webapp/index.html",
	"scripts": {
		"start": "fiori run --open index.html",
		"start-local": "fiori run --config ./ui5-local.yaml --open index.html",
		"build": "ui5 build -a --clean-dest --include-task=generateManifestBundle generateCachebusterInfo",
		"deploy": "fiori add deploy-config"
	},
	"devDependencies": {
		"@sap/ux-specification": "latest",
		"@sap/ux-ui5-tooling": "1",
		"@ui5/cli": "2.5.0",
		"@ui5/fs": "2.0.1",
		"@ui5/logger": "2.0.0"
	},
	"ui5": {
		"dependencies": [
			"@sap/ux-ui5-tooling",
			"@sap/open.fe"
		]
	},
	"dependencies": {
		"@sap/open.fe": "1.85.0"
	}
}

ui5.yaml

specVersion: '2.2'
metadata:
  name: 'fiorielements_openui5'
type: application
framework:  
  name: OpenUI5  
  version: "1.85.0"  
  libraries:   
  - name: sap.m  
  - name: sap.ui.core  
  - name: sap.uxap
  - name: themelib_sap_fiori_3
server:
  customMiddleware:
  - name: fiori-tools-proxy
    afterMiddleware: compression
    configuration:
      ignoreCertError: false # If set to true, certificate errors will be ignored. E.g. self-signed certificates will be accepted
      backend:
      - path: /browse
        url: http://localhost:4004
  - name: fiori-tools-appreload
    afterMiddleware: compression
    configuration:
     port: 35729
     path: webapp

Step 4: Run the V4 application

cd ~/projects/fiorielements_openui5
npm i
npm start

Now http://localhost:8080/index.html should be opened in your browser.
“Note: Clicking on the Go button in List Report application might request  user and password. Please enter user alice, no password.”
Finally I got my list items.

[Nextcloud] Docker update 20.0.1 to 20.0.4 warnings

After pulling the latest Nextcloud image I got some warnings about missing indices, missing primary keys and about converting some column types to big int. The warnings could easily be fixed by running the suggested occ comands. Append “-no-interaction” to suppress the confirmation question (see docs).

docker exec --user www-data nextcloud-app php /var/www/html/occ db:add-missing-indices
docker exec --user www-data nextcloud-app php /var/www/html/occ db:add-missing-primary-keys

[WordPress] 4 levels of caching

Good overview on: https://www.smarthomebeginner.com/wordpress-on-docker-traefik/#3_WordPress_Caching

Browser Caching: This is what tells the visitors browser to cache the files locally to speed up future site/page visits. We will set this up using Nginx. On Apache, this is accomplished using .htaccess files.

Server Caching: This caches static versions of pages (Page cache). We are going to accomplish this using Nginx FastCGI cache.

Frontend Caching: This means caching WordPress PHP files so they don’t have to be re-compiled for every visit. We are going to set this up using PHP OpCache.

Database Caching: This optimizes database queries by storing them in the RAM for faster delivery. We are going to use Redis for this.
