express-icf-shim
A shim that runs an ABAP ICF handler written against if_http_extension behind an Express 4.x server, for ABAP transpiled to JavaScript and run on Node.js in testing and continuous integration.
Serves an ICF service written in ABAP from an Express 4.x app: after initializeABAP(), a route calls cl_express_icf_shim.run with the request, the response and the name of the handler class, such as ZCL_HTTP_HANDLER, and the handler's if_http_extension code answers the request. open-abap.org, where ABAP runs on Node.jsNode.jsA cross-platform JavaScript runtime that servers, command line tools and scripts written in JavaScript are run with. For the things here, the prerequisite a repository names when its build is a set of npm scripts. by transpiling it to JavaScript, lists it among the shims for testing and continuous integration. The ABAP code has to set the correct status and content type on each response itself, as the README states.
