cds-internal-tool

Reusable internals for people writing CAP extensions — annotation helpers, current cds runtime types, module resolution, reflection utilities and type assertions.

Aimed at plugin authors rather than application authors: the pieces you end up reimplementing when you extend the runtime instead of using it. 74 releases.

Before choosing this

Conditions

PracticalFunctional boundary

Explicitly internal utilities, so the surface is not a stable public API and last moved in March 2024. The repository the package declares has been deleted — verified against the GitHub API, not just a failed fetch. The package is still on npm, so it installs; the source it was published from is no longer readable, which is a harder thing to discover than a stale version number.

History in the atlas3
  1. The maintainer's GitHub profile states that the account was archived (profile changed 2026-10-11); the repositories are gone and the package stays published on npm. His words, quoted and dated, in the field made for a maker's statement about an end; nothing written about the person.
  2. 404 from the GitHub API. Found by the first full run of scripts/check-links.mjs — the citation had a checked date and nobody had re-read it.
