FEATURE - CLI to enhance Fiori elements for OData v4 projects with the flexible programming model about open-ux-tools HOT 2 OPEN

Hello Tobias! Pls. be aware of the following:

• Page editor and specification already support extensions - partially. We first focussed on V2, but plan to support the full scope of FPM for V4 in the near future (will be started in the next sprint).
• The specification already provides the necessary templates for new V2 fragments, and will do the same for V4.
• Extensions are rather complicated, as multiple objects (fragment files, manifest settings) with a certain content have to be generated. Thus it does not make sense to have the same logic twice.
• I personally see no advantage of a CLI solution: as an app developer, I want to have some graphical support when it comes to the placement of the extension.
  Custom sections: CLI still possible, as you define after/before a related section (but you have to know the exact key)
  Custom column: you need to specify an index number - without having the other columns, this means manual counting.

Current state:

• custom page, action and column have been released as @sap-ux/fe-fpm-writer
• Fiori tools team is working on replacing the existing custom page implementation with the @sap-ux/fe-fpm-writer
• Fiori tools team is working on adding custom columns using the @sap-ux/fe-fpm-writer

No code duplications and first set of FPM features is transparently implemented in the open-ux-tools repository.
