ui5-middleware-index

UI5 middleware for delivering a welcome/start/'index' page to the client

👋 This is a community project and there is no official support for this package! Feel free to use it, open issues, contribute, and help answering questions.

Middleware for ui5-server, delivering the $index.html of choice (instead of the directory listing).

Prerequisites

• Requires at least @ui5/cli@3.0.0 (to support specVersion: "3.0")

⚠️ UI5 Tooling Compatibility All releases of this tooling extension using the major version 3 require UI5 Tooling V3. Any previous releases below major version 3 (if available) also support older versions of the UI5 Tooling. But the usage of the latest UI5 Tooling is strongly recommended!

Install

npm install ui5-middleware-index --save-dev

Configuration options (in $yourapp/ui5.yaml)

• debug: <boolean>, default: false
• welcomeFile: <string>, default: index.html the file to redirect to when the root path / is requested
• index: <string>, default: index.html deprecated file inside $yourapp to deliver for http://<host>:<port>/

Usage

1. Define the dependency in $yourapp/package.json:

"devDependencies": {
    // ...
    "ui5-middleware-index": "*"
    // ...
}

2. configure it in $yourapp/ui5.yaml:

server:
  customMiddleware:
  - name: ui5-middleware-index
    afterMiddleware: compression
    configuration:
      welcomeFile: "index_peter.html"

How it works

The middleware delivers the configured index HTML-file to the client if the FQDN + trailing slash / is requested in the browser.
