vue-cli-plugin-scp-cf-app

A package to scaffold a nodejs app from a basic vue.js application for the Cloud Foundry SAP Cloud Platform (SCP).
The app has the Destination Service and the Connectivity Service embedded



Based on Vue CLI v3.0.0-beta.11

Prerequisite

(1) You have installed vue-cli.

$ npm install -g @vue/cli

(2) You have created an approuter

See vue-cli-pugin-scp-cf-approuter for more details.

Documentation

First create a vue.js application. One option is to create an app with the default settings:

$ vue create my-app  --default 

For a more robust setup of your app it is better to manually select features and select the vue-router.

image selectfeatures

(use the space key to select/deselect a feature)

for more options see : https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli/blob/dev/docs/cli.md

You have created a basic vue.js application. For the SCP-CF node js app you will need some additional settings and files:

  • add manifest.yml

    deployment manifest for cloud foundry
  • add nodejs server

    adds server.js to set up a nodejs server
  • add server routes

    these routes will be the api routes which connect to SAP Gateway (oData services).

    the sap/bc/ping service has been implemented as an example

    call this service in vue js frontend with $http.get('/sap/basic/ping')
  • add xs-app.json
  • add xs-security.json
  • create start script in package.json
  • add .cfignore

    to avoid node_modules folder and default-destinations.json being uploaded to CF
  • add .npmrc

    for registering @sap npm registry within CF
  • alter the main entryfile (main.js|ts) to include axios.

    $http can be used as your http client

All these tasks are performed by this plugin if you call:

$ vue add scp-cf-app

or

$ npm i vue-cli-plugin-scp-cf-app --save-dev
$ vue invoke scp-cf-app 

For deploying to CF just call:

$ npm run build
$ cf push

Security

If you are using xs-security.json then use:

$ cf create-service xsuaa application -c xs-security.json my-xsuaa

or

$ cf update-service my-xsuaa -c xs-security.json my-xsuaa
```
