## The SAP Cloud SDK CLI is deprecated

This repository and the npm package `@sap-cloud-sdk/cli` are deprecated.
As replacement, we provide some [sample applications](https://github.com/SAP-samples/cloud-sdk-js), showcasing the SAP Cloud SDK for JavaScript.
You can continue using the CLI as long as it serves your purpose but do not expect major updates, bug fixes, etc.

The CLIs for OData and OpenAPI code generators will stay and are hosted in the [main SAP Cloud SDK repository](https://github.com/SAP/cloud-sdk-js).

All the updates and resources replacing the CLI can be found in our latest documentation [here](https://sap.github.io/cloud-sdk/docs/js/getting-started/).

A nifty command line interface (CLI) for the SAP Cloud SDK for JavaScript to initialize and package your SAP Cloud Platform application.
It is also the launchpad when trying to set up the approuter or getting started with the [project "Piper" for your continuous delivery needs](https://sap.github.io/jenkins-library).

## Looking for SAP Cloud SDK documentation?
Check our [API documentation](https://sap.github.io/cloud-sdk/docs/js/api-reference-js-ts) and [getting started](https://sap.github.io/cloud-sdk/docs/js/getting-started) guide on our [documentation portal](https://sap.github.io/cloud-sdk/).

## About the SDK

The SAP Cloud SDK supports you end-to-end when developing applications that communicate with SAP solutions and services such as SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP SuccessFactors, and many others.

Using the SDK, you can reduce your effort when developing an application on SAP Cloud Platform by building on best practices delivered by the SDK.
The SDK provides Java libraries, JavaScript libraries, project templates and a continuous delivery toolkit.

## Installation
To install the CLI globally, run:

```sh-session
$ npm install -g @sap-cloud-sdk/cli
```

### Update
As long as the CLI version is less than `1.0.0`, run the following to update to the latest version. Please keep in mind, that these updates can have breaking changes as per the [semver spec](https://semver.org/#spec-item-4).

```sh-session
$ npm install -g @sap-cloud-sdk/cli@latest
```

## Usage

<!-- usage -->
```sh-session
$ npm install -g @sap-cloud-sdk/cli
$ sap-cloud-sdk COMMAND
running command...
$ sap-cloud-sdk (-v|--version|version)
@sap-cloud-sdk/cli/0.1.11 darwin-x64 node-v13.13.0
$ sap-cloud-sdk --help [COMMAND]
USAGE
  $ sap-cloud-sdk COMMAND
...
```
<!-- usagestop -->

The CLI can initialize an nest-based project or (the more common case) add everything you need to develop for SAP Cloud Platform to an existing project no matter what backend framework you use.
If there are any incompatibilities, please let us know in the [issues](https://github.com/SAP/cloud-sdk-cli/issues/new/choose)!

To get started run
``` sh-session
$ sap-cloud-sdk init
```
in the project folder.

It will guide you through the initialization, create the necessary files and add necessary dependencies.
If you run it in an empty folder, it will ask if you want to initialize a project using [@nest/cli](https://github.com/nestjs/nest-cli).

To deploy to and run on Cloud Foundry, you need to
1. Make sure that your app listens to port 8080
2. Build your app if necessary
3. Run [`sap-cloud-sdk package`](#sap-cloud-sdk-package)
4. Push to Cloud Foundry (`cf push`)

For productive use, your app should implement user authentication and authorization.
For SAP Cloud Foundry, this is usually done by using the approuter and xsuaa service.
Start by running [`sap-cloud-sdk add-approuter`](#sap-cloud-sdk-add-approuter) and configure the xsuaa service accordingly.

                                                       set to false, the generator will skip the generation of the

                                                       be specific to S/4HANA Cloud. [default: false].

  --sdkAfterVersionScript                              When set to true, the package.json of generated services will
                                                       have the after-version script to internally keep the versions in

                                                       definition files. Files are expected to have the same name as the
                                                       edmx file, but with .json as suffix. [default: false].

                                                       the root folder of every package. This option does not make that
                                                       much sense without also set useSwagger to "true". [default:
                                                       false].

## Contribute

The CLI is based on [oclif](https://oclif.io/docs/introduction.html) and can be extended using [plugins](https://oclif.io/docs/plugins).
If you think your plugin should be part of the CLI itself, feel free to [open a pull request](https://github.com/SAP/cloud-sdk-cli/compare).
If you have found a bug in our existing functionality, please [open an issue](https://github.com/SAP/cloud-sdk-cli/issues/new/choose).

### Package Manager

This repository uses [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) as a package manager.
This is only relevant for the development of the CLI.
Projects that use the CLI are free to use any package manager as long as a `package.json` is present.

### Release

If you want to release, increase the version, run `yarn prepack` to adjust the README.md and create a PR for that branch.
Once merged and if the tests are green, you can create a new GitHub release based on the main branch.
Fill in the release notes and press "Publish release".
This will trigger the github action and a new release will be published on `npm` automatically.
