This plugin adds support for the Open Resource Discovery (ORD) protocol for CAP based applications. When you add the ORD plugin, your application gains a single entry point, which allows to discover and gather machine-readable information or metadata about the application. You can use this information to construct a static metadata catalog or to perform a detailed runtime inspection of your actual system instances / system landscapes.
For more information, have a look at the Open Resource Discovery page.
⚠ By installing this plugin, the metadata describing your CAP application will be made openly accessible.
If you have a need to protect your metadata, please refrain from installing this plugin until we support metadata protection (planned).
npm install @cap-js/ordconst cds = require("@sap/cds");
require("@cap-js/ord");const csn = await cds.load(cds.env.folders.srv);
const ord = cds.compile.to.ord(csn);cds compile <path to srv folder> --to ord [-o] [destinationFilePath]
- Run

At the current state, the plugin will expose static metadata with open access. This means that the CAP resources are described and documented openly, but it does not imply that the resources themselves can be accessed.
If you have a need to protect your metadata, please refrain from installing this plugin until we support metadata protection.
