SAP Build Code and Joule’s capabilities have made me reflect on the relevance of past projects like App Templater and CAPGEN. These tools were designed to model and generate SAP CAP (Cloud Application Programming) Node applications and services, but with AI tools are these still relevant?
One of the aspects I love about SAP CAP is its open-source stack. However, the tools such as SAP Build Code with Joule are not always easily accessible to everyone, leading to frustration. To address this, I decided to experiment by integrating OpenAI’s capabilities into App Templater, and the results were better than I could have hoped for. This inspired me to merge App Templater and CAPGEN into a single, more powerful Open Source application: CAP Builder.
Introducing CAP Builder
CAP Builder is now available on GitHub and provides a significantly improved user experience. Here are some of the key features:
- AI Project Creation*: Generate an SAP CAP project using a simple text prompt.
- AI Data Generation*: Automatically create relevant sample data for your application.
- Code Generation & Download: Export a ZIP file containing all generated code, including a Fiori Elements application.
- Live Preview: Instantly preview your application to see how it works in real-time.
- Template File Export: Download and share your generated template file with others.
As you will see in the demo video, starting with a text prompt, I modeled an application, generated test data, viewed a preview, made some modifications, reviewed the preview, and downloaded the source code. All in 8 minutes!
