Overview

The UI5 Linter (@ui5/linter) is a static code analysis tool designed specifically for SAPUI5 and OpenUI5 projects. It helps developers identify compatibility issues, deprecated APIs, security concerns, and best practice violations before upgrading to UI5 2.x.

Key Capabilities:

• ✅ Detects 19 categories of issues including deprecated APIs, global usage, and CSP violations
• ✅ Automatic fixes for common issues (no-globals, no-deprecated-api, manifest properties)
• ✅ Supports JavaScript, TypeScript, XML, JSON, HTML, and YAML files
• ✅ Configurable ignore patterns and file targeting
• ✅ Multiple output formats: stylish, JSON, Markdown, HTML
• ✅ Fast performance: 1-40s depending on project size

Current Version: 1.20.5 (November 2025) Official Repository: https://github.com/UI5/linter

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Node.js: v20.11.x, v22.0.0, or higher npm: v8.0.0 or higher

Verify prerequisites:

node --version  # Should be v20.11+ or v22+
npm --version   # Should be v8+

Installation

Global Installation (recommended for CLI usage):

npm install --global @ui5/linter

Local Installation (recommended for project integration):

npm install --save-dev @ui5/linter

Verify installation:

ui5lint --version  # Should output: 1.20.5 or higher

Basic Usage

Run linter from project root:

# Lint entire project
ui5lint

# Lint specific files or directories
ui5lint "webapp/**/*.js"
ui5ling "webapp/controller/" "webapp/view/"

# Show detailed information about findings
ui5lint --details

Common Workflows

Development Workflow:

# 1. Check for issues with details
ui5lint --details

# 2. Preview automatic fixes
UI5LINT_FIX_DRY_RUN=true ui5lint --fix

# 3. Apply fixes
ui5lint --fix

# 4. Review changes
git diff

# 5. Verify fixes worked
ui5lint --details

Configuration

Configuration File Setup

Create ui5lint.config.{js|mjs|cjs}:

module.exports = {
  rules: {
    // Recommended rules
    "no-deprecated-api": "error",
    "no-globals": "error",
    "no-ambiguous-event-handler": "error",
    "no-outdated-manifest-version": "error"
  },
  exclude: [
    "dist/**",
    "node_modules/**",
    "test/**/*.{spec,js,ts}"
  ]
};

Common Configuration Patterns

// Strict for production, relaxed for development
const isProduction = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production';

module.exports = {
  rules: {
    "no-deprecated-api": isProduction ? "error" : "warn",
    "no-globals": isProduction ? "error" : "warn"
  },
  exclude: [
    "legacy/**/*",
    "**/*.min.js"
  ]
};

CLI Usage

Essential Commands

# Basic linting
ui5lint

# With detailed output
ui5lint --details

# Fix auto-fixable issues
ui5lint --fix

# JSON output for CI/CD
ui5lint --format json

# HTML report for documentation
ui5lint --format html --details

# Performance monitoring
ui5lint --perf

Linting Rules Overview

Async & Modern Patterns

• async-component-flags: Validates async component configuration
• prefer-test-starter: Validates Test Starter implementation

Security

• csp-unsafe-inline-script: Detects unsafe inline scripts

Event Handlers

• no-ambiguous-event-handler: Ensures proper event handler notation ✅ Autofix

Deprecation Detection (7 Rules)

• no-deprecated-api: Detects deprecated APIs ✅
• no-deprecated-component: Finds deprecated component dependencies
• no-deprecated-control-renderer: Validates control renderer patterns
• no-deprecated-library: Checks deprecated libraries in manifest

Global Usage

• no-globals: Identifies global variable usage ✅ Autofix
• no-implicit-globals: Detects implicit global access

Error Reporting

• parsing-error: Reports syntax/parsing errors
• autofix-error: Reports autofix failures

API Usage

• ui5-class-declaration: Verifies UI5 class declaration patterns (TypeScript)
• unsupported-api-usage: Ensures proper API usage

Manifest Modernization (3 Rules)

• no-outdated-manifest-version: Requires Manifest Version 2
• no-removed-manifest-property: Identifies incompatible properties ✅ Autofix

Complete rules reference**: See references/rules-complete.md

Integration with Development Workflows

package.json Scripts

{
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "ui5lint",
    "lint:fix": "ui5lint --fix",
    "lint:details": "ui5lint --details",
    "lint:ci": "ui5lint --quiet --format json > lint-results.json",
    "lint:report": "ui5lint --format html --details > lint-report.html"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@ui5/linter": "^1.20.5"
  }
}

Common Scenarios

Scenario 1: New UI5 Project Setup

1. Install linter
2. Create configuration (use template)
3. Add npm scripts to package.json
4. Run initial lint
5. Fix auto-fixable issues
6. Review remaining issues

Scenario 2: Preparing for UI5 2.x Migration

1. Run linter to find all issues
2. Focus on critical issues first
3. Apply automatic fixes
4. Review autofix limitations document
5. Manually fix unsupported APIs
6. Address Core API issues (#619, #620)
7. Update manifest to v2
8. Fix no-outdated-manifest-version, no-removed-manifest-property issues
9. Verify all issues resolved

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Symptom: Linter reports parsing errors Solution: Check for syntax errors in config files

Symptom: Autofix doesn't work Solution: Check autofix limitations in references/autofix-complete.md

Symptom: Performance issues on large codebase Solution: Add ignore patterns, use targeted linting

Known Limitations

• Cannot convert synchronous to async patterns
• Limited Core/Configuration API autofix (~50 APIs)
• jQuery.sap API support limited to basic methods
• Node.js modules not automatically discovered

Best Practices

1. Run Linter Early and Often

• Add pre-commit hook for instant feedback
• See templates/husky-pre-commit.template

2. Use Configuration File for Persistent Settings

• Environment-specific configurations
• Project-wide ignore patterns

3. Fix Issues Incrementally

1. Fix errors first
2. Then fix warnings
3. Review and test after each step

4. Document Suppressed Rules

• Document team-wide suppressions with explanations
• Use sparingly and with clear justifications

5. Integrate with CI/CD

• Fail builds on errors, allow warnings
• Generate reports for stakeholders

6. Monitor Performance

• Track linting performance over time
