Document extractionUnmapped
Integrate Document Information Extraction into UI5 applicationIntegrate Document Information Extraction into UI5 applicationUploading an invoice from a UI5 application and getting the extracted fields back on screen, with a destination pointing at the Document Information Extraction API and a Refresh button polling until the job finishes. The polling is the honest part: extraction is asynchronous, and the post does not pretend otherwise. From 2022, so the service has since been renamed and the API moved, but the shape — upload, poll, map the result — is the shape it still is.published 2022-05-31

Useful CAP CDS and Fiori Commands to Accelerate Development and DeploymentUseful CAP CDS and Fiori Commands to Accelerate Development and DeploymentA command-by-command walkthrough of @sap/cds-dk's cds add and fiori add generators: cds add xsuaa writes an XSUAA security configuration from the CDS model's authorization annotations, and cds add hana together with cds deploy --to hana switches persistence from the default SQLite database to SAP HANA Cloud. cds add mta and fiori add deploy-config, from @sap/generator-fiori, build the Cloud Foundry deployment descriptor together, adding a destination-service block and an xs-app.json that routes the Fiori app's calls through a named destination.TiaXu, published 2022-10-19

CAP with Fiori Elements: Side Effects, Custom Actions, Dynamic ExpressionsCAP with Fiori Elements: Side Effects, Custom Actions, Dynamic ExpressionsThe first of the author's Fiori elements posts, and the widest: side effects, which are the annotation that tells the UI a field changed something else; custom actions; and dynamic expressions. The three that turn a generated app into a usable one.Ajit_K_Panda, published 2022-12-23

Case-insensitive filters in Fiori Elements (List report + CAP)Case-insensitive filters in Fiori Elements (List report + CAP)A blocker rather than a feature: filters on a List Report are case-sensitive, the business wanted them not to be, and the CAP backend is where it gets fixed. Node and Java both.Kishannaicker, published 2022-04-26

How to ensure that users can efficiently enter data in SAP Fiori elements applicationsHow to ensure that users can efficiently enter data in SAP Fiori elements applicationsGuidance for draft-enabled Fiori Elements applications aimed at the user who spends their day in them: entering data quickly and by keyboard, on a slow network, without the round trips a draft-backed form can otherwise impose. Written from the design side rather than the implementation side, which is the half most CAP writing about drafts leaves out.published 2022-12-05
