Conventions

View

• View names are capitalized
• All views are stored in the view folder
• Names of XML views always end with *.view.xml
• The default XML namespace is sap.m
• Other XML namespaces use the last part of the SAP namespace as alias (for example, mvc for sap.ui.core.mvc)

controller

• Controller names are capitalized
• Controllers carry the same name as the related view (if there is a 1:1 relationship)
• Event handlers are prefixed with on
• Controller names always end with *.controller.js

Internationalization

• The resource model for internationalization is called the i18n model.
• The default filename is i18n.properties.
• Resource bundle keys are written in (lower) camelCase.
• Resource bundle values can contain parameters like {0}, {1}, {2}, …
• Never concatenate strings that are translated, always use placeholders.
• Use Unicode escape sequences for special characters.

Components

• The component is named Component.js.
• Together with all UI assets of the app, the component is located in the webapp folder.
• The index.html file is located in the webapp folder if it is used productively.

CSS

• Do not specify colors in custom CSS but use the standard theme-dependent classes instead

##Testing

• All unit tests are placed in the webapp/test/unit folder of the app.
• Files in the test suite end with *.qunit.html.
• The unitTests.qunit.html file triggers all unit tests of the app.
• A unit test should be written for formatters, controller logic, and other individual functionality.
• All dependencies are replaced by stubs to test only the functionality in scope.
