Suggestion: RenderManager - apiVersion 2

[wridgeu]

Hey there 👋

I was wondering if you'd want to add apiVersion 2 of the RenderManager which is avilable since v1.67 of UI5 as seen here.

Didn't want to open up a PR on this before asking, as it could've been intentional to stay "backwards compatible" (especially as it only serves as example/starter code generator).

var ExampleRenderer = {
	"apiVersion": 2
};

/**
	* Renders the HTML for the given control, using the provided
	* {@link sap.ui.core.RenderManager}.
	*
	* @param {sap.ui.core.RenderManager} oRm
	*            the RenderManager that can be used for writing to
	*            the Render-Output-Buffer
	* @param {sap.ui.core.Control} oControl
	*            the control to be rendered
	*/
ExampleRenderer.render = function (oRm, oControl) {

	oRm.openStart("div", oControl);
	oRm.class("sapRULTExample");
	oRm.openEnd( );
	oRm.write(sap.ui.getCore().getLibraryResourceBundle("<%= librarynamespace %>").getText("ANY_TEXT"));

	oRm.writeEscaped(oControl.getText());
	oRm.close("div");

};

Best Regards,
Marco

Hi Marco,

Looks like a good idea to me, I'm not really looking at backwards compatibility personally. Looking at the supported versions of UI5 here (https://ui5.sap.com/versionoverview.html), every version below 1.67 goes out of support in 2021. (except for 1.38, but that's not a version I'm looking to keep support for anyway).

At this point the ui5.yaml also contains a version 1.85.x so I don't see a reason why we can't add your suggestion to the generator!

I'm also planning to move the functionality of this generator to the easy-ui5 generator (which uses 1.84 as it's base library version)

Best regards,
Geert-Jan
