vite-plugin-cds

library0.2.0jsnpmunverified

A Vite plugin for @sap/cds (CAP) that enables importing .cds model files, running cds watch with Vite, and using the @sap/cds runtime in the browser. Current version 0.2.0 supports @sap/cds ^9. Release cadence is irregular with multiple minor patches. Key differentiators: allows using Vite's HMR and bundling for CAP frontends, and enables running the CAP runtime inside the browser via polyfills. Requires peer dependency @sap/cds ^9.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

cds

✓ import { cds } from 'vite-plugin-cds'

✗ import cds from 'vite-plugin-cds' or const cds = require('vite-plugin-cds')

Named export for the plugin factory. Default export is not provided.

node

✓ import { node } from 'vite-plugin-cds'

✗ import node from 'vite-plugin-cds'

Named export for the node polyfill plugin.

cap

✓ import { cap } from 'vite-plugin-cds'

✗ import cap from 'vite-plugin-cds'

Named export for the CAP runtime plugin.

Import a .cds model file in a Vite app using the plugin. The plugin compiles the model at build time.

// vite.config.js import { defineConfig } from 'vite' import { cds } from 'vite-plugin-cds' export default defineConfig({ plugins: [cds()], root: './app', }) // In your JavaScript file: import cdsModel from './index.cds' console.log(cdsModel) // compiled CSN object

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe plugin is designed for Vite 5+; compatibility with older Vite versions is not guaranteed.

fix

Use Vite 5 or later.

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedThe 'minify: false' option was removed in v0.1.10; manual chunks configuration may be needed.

fix

If you need to disable minify, configure Vite's build.minify or use a custom rollup plugin.

affects: >=0.1.10

gotchaWhen using the CAP runtime in the browser, cds.context is not unique per request/transaction due to limited async context tracking.

fix

Avoid relying on cds.context for per-request state in browser usage.

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module '@sap/cds'

@sap/cds is not installed as a peer dependency.

Run npm install @sap/cds

Uncaught TypeError: cds.compile is not a function

cds imported from wrong source or not initialized.

fix

Ensure you import cds from '@sap/cds', not from the plugin: import cds from '@sap/cds'

The requested module 'vite' does not provide an export named 'defineConfig'

Vite is not installed or version mismatch.

fix

Run npm install vite@5
