Cloud application programming model extensibility using node.js

[former_member560792]

I would like to know the approach of extending SAP on-premise CDS (ABAP on HANA) and its service using CAP Model (Node.js only) in SAP Cloud Platform. Any relevant blog or related information will be really helpful.

Hi Rai,

This blog is a good starting point:

Basically you just need to expose your on-premise data as external service and then let your cap model application consume it.

Thank you Jhodel for sharing this blog. Can we achieve the same in WebIDe as well?

It will be an uphill battle if you do CAP model using WebIDE because there's little to no tooling support there. Your best option is to use SAP Business Application Studio or VS Code.
