My CAP Projects ToolboxpublishedA working inventory of daily CAP tooling: scaffolding a project with cds init and growing it facet by facet through cds add (TypeScript, seed data, an .http test file, a handler stub), then running it with cds watch and setting a breakpoint in a custom handler from SAP Business Application StudioSAP Business Application StudioSAP's development environment for business applications, delivered as a cloud service and opened in a browser, where work happens in preconfigured dev spaces.sap official, btp's JavaScript Debug Terminal. It also walks through an @open entity that accepts properties the model never declared, and reading temporal dataTemporal dataKeeping every version of a record that was valid for a period, and reading the one that held at a given moment — the assignment somebody had on the first of March, not the one they have now — without the application filtering time slices by hand.SAP only defined with CAP's temporal aspect, where a plain read returns only what is valid now and a custom handler is needed to retrieve every time slice.Generators
SAP Fiori Application Generator Available in Open SourcepublishedThe SAP Fiori tools team announces that the code behind @sap/generator-fiori@sap/generator-fioriThe single entry point for generating a Fiori application — the user picks a template and the generator produces the project around it.sap official, cap has moved entirely to open source, and names the packages it is built from: writers that output SAP Fiori elements and freestyle SAPUI5 application files, inquirer prompts for picking a back end, and ABAP deploy tasks, coordinated by a sub-generator. Before publishing, the team broke up what had been a monolith, added TypeScript typings and raised test coverage.Fiori annotations

DRY CAP – Making Sustainable Solutions Through PluginspublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 building-apps session on packaging the things you would otherwise write twice, from in-house API clients and shared data models to validation logic, as a CAP plugin. The presenter builds one live: a cds-plugin.js next to package.json is what makes CAP notice the plugin at all, an index.cds carries a reusable user context and service that the consuming application projects into its own and protects there, and the plugin registers an Express middleware at a chosen step of the bootstrap to put user properties on the request. A feature-flagging plugin his team already uses closes it, and the whole walkthrough is the edge to Plugin authoringPlugin authoringWriting a package that extends a framework or runtime rather than an application that uses it — a reusable extension loaded by its host, and the question you arrive at once solving a problem twice makes you want to solve it once for everyone.SAP only.Plugin authoring
From Inbox to Quotation: An AI-Assisted Sales Workbench in React on SAP CAPpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session walking live through a sales workbench that turns an incoming customer e-mail into a quotation in S/4HANA, built as a React UI on CAP. It shows the filterable request inbox, the extracted configuration properties with a confidence indicator per characteristic, the variant configurator rendered in React from a JSON schema the configuration service returns, and the link from a derived value back to the place in the e-mail it was read from; the stated reason for the stack is that CAP keeps authentication, destinations and deployment the same in every project, which is where frontend boundaryFrontend boundaryConnecting a separately hosted frontend to an application service: authentication, routing, access to backend systems, user identity propagation and tenant isolation across the hosting boundary.SAP only holds. The inbox grows while a user works because a CAP WebSocket plugin pushes new requests into the list — WebSocketWebSocketPushing to a browser that already has the page open, rather than making it ask again — the half of a UI that polling imitates badly.Community only.Frontend boundary

@dxfrontier/cds-ts-dispatcherprovides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge said only that the package answers the capability. It now says what it contributes — decorators binding handlers, the three layers its documentation recommends, injection between them and the draft decorators — and states the four comparison facets the capability declares, each on the README sentence it rests on.TypeScript patterns
@dxfrontier/cds-ts-repositoryprovides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge carried no sentence. It now says which half of the arrangement the package answers, names the two ways its own documentation shows it being used, and states the persistence value of the capability's layers facet. draft_events is left unstated on purpose: BaseRepositoryDraft reads and writes the draft entity, which is not a place to handle the draft events, and stating the flag here would make the two look like the same fact.TypeScript patterns

The edge was a bare reference: the one capability this package answers carried no sentence and no source, which rule 10 does not allow. The package's own npm text names what it starts, cds watch per service and the router through cds bind --exec, and is quoted in its own language. Read through registry.npmjs.org because npmjs.com refuses the fetcher.Local development

@sang2x/captoolsprovides[capability:local-development] revisedcapability:local-development curation on 2026-10-15. Its own command description states that it writes the resolved VCAP_SERVICES into default-env.json, which is the documented difference against cds bind, where only the place the credentials can be fetched from is stored on the machine. Stated as a fact about the file, with the consequence for a project named in when_not_to_use rather than as a judgement on the tool.Local development
@sap/cds-dkprovides[capability:local-development] revisedcapability:local-development curation on 2026-10-15. The edge named the hybrid profile without naming cds bind, and the capability's new comparison columns need the sourced answers here: the parts of the local stack this starts, that it binds cloud services, and that only the location of the credentials is stored on the machine, which is the difference against a helper that writes them into a file.Generators
cap-handler-frameworkprovides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge carried no sentence while the artifact's own description carried the detail. It now says what the package contributes to this capability — method names as the binding, the generated index the service reads, the separate draft hooks and the shared context — and states handler_binding, dependency_injection and draft_events on the README sentences they rest on. The layers facet is left unstated: the feature list read today names no layer above the handlers.TypeScript patterns
cds-plugin-handlersprovides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge carried no sentence. It now says how the plugin decides where a handler goes, which is by folder and file name rather than by a decorator, and states the handler_binding and layers values of the capability's comparison, each on the README sentence it rests on. dependency_injection and draft_events are left unstated: the README mentions neither.TypeScript patterns
cds-plugin-typescriptprovides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge carried no sentence. It now says what the plugin does at build time and that it says nothing about the arrangement of the code it compiles. Whether the edge belongs on typescript-patterns is an open editorial question recorded with the capability's review: capire now ships a cds build task for TypeScript in @cap-js/cds-typer, which puts this plugin beside the core's toolchain answer rather than beside the arrangement options. No facet values are stated, because the capability's four facets ask about the arrangement and the README answers none of them.TypeScript patterns
cds-routing-handlersprovides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge carried no sentence. It now says what the package binds and where it stops, and states the handler_binding and layers values of the capability's comparison on the README sentences they rest on. No lifecycle field was added: the README read today carries no statement by its maintainer about the package's end, and the predecessor sentence in the one-liner is another author's reading, already attributed as such.TypeScript patterns
cds2typeslifecycle, provides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge carried no sentence. It now says what the tool produces and that it says nothing about the arrangement of the code around it. Whether this edge belongs on typescript-patterns at all is an open editorial question recorded with the capability's review: generating types from a model is the typing concern, and this pass does not move the edge.TypeScript patterns
com.sap.cds:cds-maven-pluginprovides[capability:local-development] revisedcapability:local-development curation on 2026-10-15. The edge said the goal rebuilds and restarts and left out that whether it restarts or reloads depends on Spring Boot Devtools, and that on Windows it does not work without them, which is the difference a reader on this flavor meets first.Generators
dev-approuterprovides[capability:local-development] revisedcapability:local-development curation on 2026-10-15. The capability now compares its options by the part of the local stack each one starts, and this package's own description states the part. Nothing was entered for the two flags: the registry page carries no README, so whether it resolves a cloud binding itself is not stated anywhere read here.Local development
Fiori annotationscore coverage, coverage by flavor revisedThe door has two flavors and neither was assessed, so both were derived from the options alone. Java reads core-only: the three community providers are cds-plugins @sap/cds loads, and the Java side's own facts are the compiler running under the Maven build and the one hierarchy annotation the Java runtime reads itself.Fiori annotations
Local developmentcore coverage, coverage by flavor, framing by flavor, facets revisedNine options answered this capability with nothing to compare them by, and they are not variants of one tool: the first question a reader has is which part of the local stack an option starts. The two flags separate the hybrid-testing helpers, where cds bind states that only the location of the credentials is stored on the machine and @sang2x/captools states that it writes the resolved VCAP_SERVICES into default-env.json.Local development

How to build reusable plugin components for CAP Java applicationspublishedA companion to Daniel SchlachterDaniel Schlachtercreated 9 pieces, contributed to 10 entriessap official's Reusable components for CAP with cds-pluginReusable components for CAP with cds-pluginThe post that taught the mechanism, and it teaches it by picking a requirement small enough to be absurd: every string a service returns should end in a random emoji. Working through that on the bookshop example leaves nothing to argue about except the plumbing, which is the point — what a cds-plugin is, where it hooks in, and why packaging it beats copying it into the next project. Vinícius Barrionuevo credits this post as the thing that gave him the idea for sap-cap-sdm-plugin, and it is hard to read the plugin ecosystem in this graph without it.published 2023-04-30, showing the same mechanism on CAP Java: a plugin ships as its own Maven artifact with an event handler and a
CdsRuntimeConfiguration implementation, registered through the JDK's ServiceLoader rather than any CAP-specific wiring. The walkthrough builds a cds-emoji-plugin-java jar that decorates @emoji-annotated fields on read, installs it to the local Maven repository, and adds it as a runtime dependency to a cds init --add java bookshop application. It argues the plugin mechanism was not new to CAP Java, just previously undocumented.Plugin authoringSAP Cloud Application Programming Model（CAP）：概要およびデモ - Part 1publishedIntroduces SAP Cloud Application Programming Model@sap/cdsThe CAP Node.js runtime, which compiles the CDS model, serves the services declared in it, answers generic requests before any handler runs, and loads every cds-plugin.sap official, cap as an open, opinionated framework that shoulders OData plumbing and database-specific code so a domain is modelled once in CDS, then builds a small bookshop project to show it: @sap/cds-dk@sap/cds-dkThe command line client and development toolkit for CAP projects, with the commands cds build, cds deploy, cds watch and cds add among them.sap official, cap's
