Middleware for ui5-server, for accessing globally injected variables.
npm install ui5-middleware-global-variables --save-dev
- rootPath:
string
the root path to the static resources on your system
- Define the dependency in
$yourapp/package.json
:
"devDependencies": {
// ...
"ui5-middleware-global-variables": "*"
// ...
},
"ui5": {
"dependencies": [
// ...
"ui5-middleware-global-variables",
// ...
]
}
As the devDependencies are not recognized by the UI5 tooling, they need to be listed in the
ui5 > dependencies
array. In addition, once using theui5 > dependencies
array you need to list all UI5 tooling relevant dependencies.
- configure it in
$yourapp/ui5.yaml
:
server:
customMiddleware:
- name: ui5-middleware-global-variables
afterMiddleware: compression
configuration:
debug: true
You insert the following script
-tag at the end of the head
-tag of the *.html
file you use for your dev server.
<script src="/ui5-global-vars.js"></script>
The middleware will then inject the source code into the script which will convert all .env
Variables that start with UI5_GLOBAL_VAR__
into a global object called $ui5GlobalVariables
.
This object has only one method called get
which expects the id of a global variable (defined in .env
)
