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.
Avoid design time CAP server restarts when maintaining local data filesAvoid design time CAP server restarts when maintaining local data filescds watch restarting on every file change is the feature; this is the case where it is not. Editing a CSV seed file mid-edit restarts the server against half-finished data, and the post is about suppressing that without giving up the watch loop. A small friction most people work around silently rather than fix.published 2024-04-26

XSUAA Local TestingXSUAA Local TestingAdding XSUAA to a CAP project two ways, and then the part that is usually missing: getting the authorisation to behave on a laptop rather than only after deployment. The default authentication mechanism is the easy half; testing it without a landscape is the reason this exists.ManasaManu, published 2024-10-17
XSUAA Local Testing
Authorization has changed twice since this was published, most recently in CAP Java 3.7.1, 2025-01-30. Affects A recipe, Runnable code.

ISO content for common CAP typesISO content for common CAP typesThe npm package that supplies ISO-standard content — countries, languages, currencies, timezones — for CAP's common types, and how it works underneath. The author flags the length and the reason for it up front, having followed the mechanism further than the question required, which is what makes it worth reading rather than a package announcement.published 2024-03-14

Simplifying SAP BTP Authentication in Pipelines with SAP Passport and PlaywrightSimplifying SAP BTP Authentication in Pipelines with SAP Passport and PlaywrightClient-certificate login to BTP works locally and has historically not worked in automated pipelines. The post uses Playwright's then-new client certificate support to close that, which is a sideways use of a browser automation library and the reason it is worth recording — the constraint it removes is a CI constraint, not a testing one.published 2024-11-08
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.
Use TypeScript with the SAP Cloud Application Programming ModelUse TypeScript with the SAP Cloud Application Programming ModelWritten from the position of someone who avoided JavaScript for years and then had to cover CAP, which gives it a useful angle: what TypeScript buys a person arriving from a typed language, and where to start rather than how to finish. Ends on a worked example rather than a survey.KevinR, published 2024-06-24
Exploring the TypeScript Ecosystem with @cap-js/cds-typer, cds-ts, and node-tsExploring the TypeScript Ecosystem with @cap-js/cds-typer, cds-ts, and node-tsPart one of two: a bookshop project built in TypeScript from cds init, with cds-typer added as a development dependency and the surrounding tools — cds-ts and node-ts — put in place so the project runs locally. A setup walkthrough rather than an argument about typing, and it stops at the point where the application works on a laptop; deployment is part two.satya-dev, published 2024-07-08

Exploring the TypeScript Ecosystem with @cap-js/cds-typer, cds-ts, and node-ts Part - 2Exploring the TypeScript Ecosystem with @cap-js/cds-typer, cds-ts, and node-ts Part - 2Part two takes the TypeScript project from part one to Cloud Foundry: cds add mta, then the parts of the generated descriptor the author singles out as needing attention for a TypeScript build rather than a JavaScript one. The pair together is the whole path — typed model locally, then deployed — which is where a typing walkthrough usually stops short.satya-dev, published 2024-07-19

Extend Upload Set with Table to Fiori Elements and utilize Object StoreExtend Upload Set with Table to Fiori Elements and utilize Object StoreThe Object Store variant of the author's earlier Document Management post, written after testing @cap-js/attachments — a sample managing text and file information together, and offered as something for people new to BTP rather than as a pattern.published 2024-05-21

Fiori annotations changed in @sap/cds-dk 9.6.0, 2025-12-17. Affects Runnable code.
Fiori Elements のList Reportアプリにカスタムアクションボタンを追加し、カスタムコントローラーを用いてアイコン化するFiori Elements のList Reportアプリにカスタムアクションボタンを追加し、カスタムコントローラーを用いてアイコン化するIn Japanese. A custom action button added to a generated List Report and then given an SAPUI5 icon through a custom controller — the point where an annotation-driven app needs a piece of code, and what that costs.takayuki_tanaka, published 2024-08-02
CAP, CORS and custom headersCAP, CORS and custom headersWhat CAP itself does about CORS, and where it stops. The starting point is a colleague's request and a deliberate constraint: @sap/approuter has full CORS support, but the author wanted to know what the CAP server offers on its own and how to extend it. Ends up covering preflight requests and custom servers, which is the mechanism a frontend hosted outside BTP actually runs into.published 2024-04-11
