FAB Controls

Fiori App Builder comes packaged with a set of common SAP UI5 controls that can be easily added to your application without any additional coding.  These components are in reality SAP UI5 controls but Fiori App Builder has wrapped these so that they can be used directly from within the FAB Workbench. Controls can be added to the application by right clicking on a node in the Form Structure and selecting the control. It forms a nested tree structure when the ctrl key is pressed while dragging and dropping a child control onto a parent control. To interact with these controls in a more advanced manner, the API documentation for each control can be viewed from the links below where properties and events will be displayed that can be manipulated through JavaScript code.
