Hi team,

Issue:
Running yarn watch fails with the following:
Error: Type 'Control' referenced in path-to-my-library/src/use/ui5/library/Example.ts could not be resolved - are the UI5 (and other) type definitions available and known in the tsconfig? Or is there a different reason why this type would not be known?

Fix:
File: generator-ui5-ts-library/generators/app/templates/tsconfig.json
Add: "types": ["<%= tstypes %>"], under the "baseUrl": "./", line
Why: After manually adding "types": ["@sapui5/ts-types-esm"], to the generated tsconfig.json file, the yarn watch command executed successfully.

Friendly regards,
Zühnja

Hi, I am trying to develop and consume typescript lib generated via your generator.

I have successfully generated and publish lib to private NPM package registry. But I haven't found any tutorial how to integrate it in UI5 application. The application is generated with typescript generator.

So far I have installed library as dependency via NPM. Do you have any example repository or guide for this scenario?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

After setting the template parameters, when the files are being created, the following error appears:

   create com.myorg.myUI5Library\tsconfig.json
   create com.myorg.myUI5Library\ui5.yaml
× An error occured while running ui5-ts-library:app#install
TypeError: this.installDependencies is not a function
    at module.exports.install (C:\Users\........\nvm\v16.15.0\node_modules\generator-easy-ui5\plugin-generators\generator-ui5-ts-library\generators\app\index.js:168:14)

This seems to be caused by a too-new yeoman version(?), the solution is to add the following lines to app/index.js like in the ui5-ts-app template:

// patches the Generator for the install tasks as new custom install
// tasks produce ugly errors! (Related issue: https://github.com/yeoman/environment/issues/309)
require('lodash').extend(Generator.prototype, require('yeoman-generator/lib/actions/install'))

@petermuessig knows the details

Seems to be an effect of moving to ui5-community recently: the "ui5-" prefix is not needed for projects inside ui5-community.
Solution:
yo easy-ui5 ui5-ts-library

(or pick ts-library from the offered templates)
