SAP Cloud SDK for JS Cloud Foundry Sample Application

Description

This repository contains our Cloud Foundry sample application.

The repositories structure is as following:

  • /approuter - Contains the approuter, a packaging script and a manifest which is used in the deployment
  • /src - Contains the application's source code with its 4 endpoints for cloud, onpremise and principal propagation
  • /e2e-tests - Contains the cypress tests that test all endpoints after deployment
  • manifest.yml - Manifest to deploy to SAP BTP Cloud Foundry

If you want to locally trigger the e2e-tests, create a cypress.env.json file in the /e2e-tests directory containing the credentials for the IdP in the format:

{
  "username": "username",
  "password": "password"
  "url": "url"
}

Requirements

The minimal requirements are:

  • A terminal to execute commands
  • A recent version of node and npm installed e.g. node 14 and npm 6
  • An IDE or a text editor of your choice

If you want to explore the possibilities beyond local tests you need:

  • Access to a SAP Business Technology Platform account
  • Entitlement to use resources like service instance creation and application processing units
  • Permission to deploy applications and create service instances

Download and Installation

To download the application run:

git clone \
  --depth 1  \
  --filter=blob:none  \
  --sparse \
  https://github.com/SAP-samples/cloud-sdk-js.git \
;
cd cloud-sdk-js
git sparse-checkout set samples/cf-sample-application

Generate oData Client

The following service definitions in EDMX format are already downloaded in the folder resources/service-specs:

The clients are generated using the npm run generate-client command. This command is executed automatically in the postinstall step after you execute npm i .

Note These services are licensed under the terms of SAP API Information License. This limits their use to development purposes only.

Create Services on SAP BTP Cloud Foundry

Before you can deploy the application and approuter, you have to create a destination, xsuaa, and connectivity service instance. Their name should match the one that is used in the manifest.yml, in this case:

- sample-destination-service
- sample-xsuaa-service
- sample-connectivity-service

Deploy the Approuter and Application to SAP BTP Cloud Foundry

  1. Change all occurrences of <REPLACE-ME> to your respective values, this includes destinations, your Subdomain, etc.
  2. Change the xs-app.json in the approuter directory to use either an IdP associated with your subaccount, or no IdP at all.
  3. Run npm run deploy in the root, as well as in the approuter directory to deploy the application to SAP BTP Cloud Foundry.
  4. After both the approuter and application are deployed, open the approuter's url to access the deployed application.

Code Placeholders

If anything isn't working as intended, search for <REPLACE-ME>, as all parts that have to be adapted contain this placeholder.
