Create an index.html File

A minimalistic index.html file is needed to test the project configuration. This file contains the OpenUI5 bootstrap and an sap.m.Text control that displays the text “OpenUI5 is loaded successfully!”.

Caution:

SAP Web IDE is no longer available via SAP Business Technology Platform trial accounts. Any references to SAP Web IDE in this documentation are only relevant for you if you have access to SAP Web IDE through a productive SAP BTP account. Please consider SAP Business Application Studio as an alternative. See App Development Using SAP Business Application Studio.

Choose the New Folder icon in the header toolbar and enter src as the folder name.
Select the newly created folder and create a new index.html file inside it by choosing the New File icon.

Paste the following code in the newly created index.html file and select Save:

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<meta charset="utf-8">
		<title>SAPUI5 Walkthrough</title>
		<script id="sap-ui-bootstrap"
			src="/resources/sap-ui-core.js"
			data-sap-ui-libs="sap.m"
			data-sap-ui-compat-version="edge"
			data-sap-ui-async="true"
			data-sap-ui-on-init="module:my/app/main"
			data-sap-ui-resource-roots='{"my.app": "./"}'>
		</script>
	</head>
	<body class="sapUiBody" id="content">
	</body>
</html>

Create new file main.js and paste the following code into it:

main.js

sap.ui.define(["sap/m/Text"], function(Text) {
    new Text({
        text: "OpenUI5 is loaded successfully!"
    }).placeAt("content");
});

Caution:

Adapt the path where the resources are located (src="/resources/sap-ui-core.js") according to your installation. For OpenUI5 you can use src="https://sdk.openui5.org/resources/sap-ui-core.js".

You can use this reference to the latest version of OpenUI5 for the tutorial or for testing purposes, but never use this for productive use. In an actual app, you always have to specify an OpenUI5 version explicitly.
