TypeScript patternsCAPTypeScript patternsHow an application is arranged once it is written in TypeScript — where handlers live, what registers them, and how business logic is kept apart from persistence. Distinct from typing, which is about the model being visible to the compiler; this is about the shape of the code around it.

SAP CAP: Best VSCode extensions for TypeScript development (UI5 & NodeJS)SAP CAP: Best VSCode extensions for TypeScript development (UI5 & NodeJS)A working editor setup for CAP with TypeScript, listed extension by extension across the Node.js and UI5 halves. The kind of post that ages by attrition rather than by being wrong — the reasoning about what an editor needs to know about a CDS project outlives any particular extension in the list.published 2024-04-29
SAP CAP: Best VSCode extensions for TypeScript development (UI5 & NodeJS)
Editor support changed in @sap/cds-dk 8.8.0, 2025-03-04. Affects Runnable code.
SAP CAP: Controller - Service - Repository architectureSAP CAP: Controller - Service - Repository architectureThe pattern the author's two libraries exist to support, set out as a whole rather than one package at a time: a controller layer receiving the request, a service layer holding business logic, and a repository layer owning persistence — the separation CAP leaves to the developer once a model has produced an OData service. Read after the dispatcher and repository posts, or before them as the argument for both.published 2024-04-22

@dxfrontier/cds-ts-dispatcher has been through 4 major lines since this was published, most recently 4 (2025-01), 5 (2025-07), 6 (2026-07). Affects Runnable code.
CDS-TS-Repository: Simplify SAP CAP Entity persistance with BaseRepositoryCDS-TS-Repository: Simplify SAP CAP Entity persistance with BaseRepositoryThe persistence half of the same pair, three days later: a BaseRepository putting entity access behind a typed repository rather than CQN written inline in a handler. Shares its opening argument with the dispatcher post — the layer between business logic and persistence is the part CAP leaves open — and the two are designed to be used together.published 2023-11-16

CDS-TS-Dispatcher: Simplifying SAP CAP TypeScript DevelopmentCDS-TS-Dispatcher: Simplifying SAP CAP TypeScript DevelopmentThe first of a pair introducing the author's own libraries, and it states what it is reacting to: CAP derives OData services from a CDS model, but the communication between business logic, service and persistence layers is left to you, and the earlier attempt at the service-layer half, cds-routing-handler, appeared unmaintained against newer CAP. The dispatcher is the answer offered for that layer.published 2023-11-13
