Exploring how metadata-driven UI works in SAP Fiori Elements with CAP.
Today’s focus was on understanding how annotations control the UI without writing custom frontend code.
Here’s what I implemented:
✔ UI.LineItem – Defined columns for the List Report table
✔ UI.SelectionFields – Enabled filter fields on the filter bar
✔ UI.FieldGroup – Organized fields on the Object Page
✔ UI.Facets – Structured the Object Page layout
Key realization:
Fiori Elements follows a metadata-first approach, where UI behavior is derived from CDS annotations rather than manually coded screens.
This makes application development faster, consistent, and aligned with enterprise UX standards.
Next step in the journey: Value Help and advanced UI annotations.
