Introduction:

In this session, we will look at how to connect Node.js application to public and On-Premise systems in SAP Cloud Platform – Cloud Foundry environment

Synopsis:

In the previous sessions, we had looked at how to connect SAPUI5 applications to public and On-Premise systems
The key differentiator between SAPUI5 application and Node.js application is that the Node.js application runs on the backend whereas the SAPUI5 application runs on the browser
We will make use of axios – a popular npm package for making HTTP requests
The Connectivity Service and Destination Service together can be used to connect to On-Premise systems
The Connectivity Service acts as a standard HTTP proxy to connect and retrieve data from the On-Premise system

Steps:

In this example, we will create a simple Node.js application and consume the publicly available Northwind OData Service
Then we will modify the Node.js application to consume the publicly available Northwind OData Service – but this time reading key information from the Destination Service
We will then consume the On-Premise OData Service using both the Destination Service and the Connectivity Service

Conclusion:

This video should give you a clear idea on how to use the Destination Service and Connectivity Service together in a Node.js application to connect to both publicly available endpoints and On-Premise systems
If you have questions or comments, please list them below and I will be happy to answer
