Development
- At first open a new terminal and run below command. It should create new sqlite source and fill initial data from
db/data. You can browse database in any sqlite client
npm run deploy
- Next, start cds service on 4004 port in watch mode:
cds watch
- Open
app-srcfolder and run next commands. This will install dependencies and run frontend src files watcher. When you will change src files your bundles in app directory will re-compiled. Now you can enjoy development:
npm install
npm run watch
For better frontend development experience use below command instead of watcher. This will start frontend dev server on 3000 port. Now your bundles will be hot reloaded, this means you do not need reload the page to see changes:
npm run start
Deployment
- Make sure you already have hanatrial instance in your cockpit dashboard (SAP Cloud Platform). Or if you are using hana instance - change it in mta.yaml config file from hanatrial to hana
- Change package.json db section
"db": {
"kind": "hana"
}
- Authenticate in the Cloud Foundry:
cf login
- Open
app-srcfolder and run the following commands. This will create frontend production bundles in app subfolder:
npm install
npm run build
- From root directory run:
mbt build -t ./
cf deploy media-store_1.0.0.mtar
- Now your services should be deployed with hanatrial instance and filled with initial data
