This repository contains examples of HTML5 applications for multiple SAP BTP environments. The examples show how you can use standalone application routers or managed application routers to achieve different goals and they demonstrate the capabilities of the SAP HTML5 Application Repository service for SAP BTP.
On the Cloud Foundry and Kyma environment of SAP BTP, you can run an application that was uploaded to the SAP HTML5 Application Repository service for SAP BTP using one of the following options: a standalone application router or a managed application router. Both options allow you to serve static content from the HTML5 Application Repository, authenticate users, rewrite URLs, and forward or proxy requests to other micro services while propagating user information. However, the option that is managed brings many benefits, such as:
In general, we recommend using the managed application router. Use an standalone application router preferably only in advanced cases, for example when application router extensibility is required.

Before you start with the examples, please make sure that you are familiar with the basic concepts of HTML5 web apps in the Cloud Foundry environment, such as Cloud Foundry applications, services, service bindings. For more information, see this video.
The HTML5 Application Repository can hold any UI project independent of the used framework. Use the following commands of the Cloud Foundry CLI plugin plugin to upload the HTML5 apps to the application repository:
mkdir myapp
cd myapp
echo '{"sap.app":{"id":"myapp","applicationVersion":{"version": "1.0.0"}}}' > manifest.json
echo '{"routes":[{"source":"^(.*)","target": "$1","service":"html5-apps-repo-rt"}]}' > xs-app.json
cf html5-push
For information about how to upload a react-based application to the HTML5 Application Repository, see this blog post.

cf install-plugin multiapps
GNU Make : https://www.gnu.org/software/make
If you are running macOS or Linux it's likely that you already have Make installed. As a Windows user, please use the Chocolatey package manager to install Make via choco install make
. After the installation, please check you can start the executable (make
) from the terminal.
In contrast to the examples above, you don't need an application router for the following apps, which use the managed application router. This reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) and you don't have to update the application router manually.
None so far :)
