Consuming a CAP Service from Custom UI5 App

[lukasmetzger]

I am currently trying to build a full-sized application based on the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP). I followed the documentation and exposed a working service locally. After that, I implemented a custom Fiori App in the /app Folder.

Now I want to consume the CAP Service in my Fiori App, but I am not able to link the two. In the documentation, they are just focusing on Fiori Elemtents which does not really help.

Thank you for your answers, I really appreciate it!

Ok, but how can I connect a external SAPUI5 app to a CAP APP? Like instead a put my project into the App folder, I have it as an external project. How could I do this?

In my scenario I developed the CAP after the SAPUI5 app. Why? Because my SAPUI5 use to consume the back end in a ABAP service, but now we are migrating the ABAP service to a CAP service. How can I connect this SAPUI5 to the new service? I've tried many things but I couldn't
