Proxy dataSource uri to local json file

[dburkhart]

Hi,

I try to understand the UI5 Tooling a bit better and therefore I try to implement a UI5 application.
My thoughts: I can use the dataSource section of the manifest.json to specify my root model, including the intended backend uri.
Then using the ui5.yaml file to configure a mapping to a local json file in order to abstract the real backend connections from its dev targets.

Is this a correct assumption?
If yes, I run into an issue regarding the ui5-middleware-simpleproxy, as my baseURI always getting an tailing slash and this will not work, as I tried to point to the resulting json file, not to a folder

I assume I have understood something totally wrong 😬

I would really appreciate your help and hope you can give me an hint how to solve this.

Regards,
Daniel

Sorry for answering that late - ~2 years passed - and I assume you understood the middleware in the meantime.

The baseUrl is not considered to be a resource which can be loaded with the mountPath as an alias. If this is necessary it middleware would require to add a proper slash handling to differ between paths and resources. If you need such a feature we can think of opening an issue for this and creating a PR.

I would close the discussion for now - if interested please create a small issue for that or feel free to contribute... 😄
