Of course...I'm far from being a good Meteor developer...so please bear with me -:( I'm also not very good at NodeJs...so...you know...this is just me playing around -:)
So...let's begin...there's a lot of ways that we can use to connect Meteor and SAP HANA...but...what if we can somehow do it with a native connection?
If you haven't visit SAP Developers on GitHub yet...I recommend you to do it...we have some really nice Open Source projects in there...
Anyway...in there you will find a hidden gem simply called node-hdb which is course...a NodeJS native connector for SAP HANA...awesome, huh?
Now...you will ask...why does NodeJS has to do with Meteor? Easy...Meteor uses NodeJs in the background...
Checking the web...I found this awesome Meteor Hack called Complete NPM integration for Meteor which is just great...basically...it allows us to include NodeJS packages in the underlying NodeJS service of our Meteor installation...
Simply do this...
| Getting node-hdb into Meteor |
|---|
npm install -g meteor-npm cd "your_project" meteor-npm |
This will create an "npm" folder into your project...now...simply create a file called packages.json in your root folder...
| Packages.json |
|---|
{
"hdb": "0.2.0"
}
|
With that...we're ready to rock with Meteor -;)
First...let's do the html part...
| HANA_Test.html |
|---|
<head>
<title>SAP HANA and MeteorJS</title>
</head>
<body>
{{> CallHANA}}
</body>
<template name="CallHANA">
<DIV ID'block' ALIGN='CENTER'>
<H1>Calling SAP HANA from MeteorJS</H2>
<TABLE BORDER='1'>
<TR><TH>Carrier</TH><TH>Connection</TH>
<TH>Country From</TH><TH>City From</TH>
<TH>Airport From</TH><TH>Country To</TH>
<TH>City To</TH><TH>Airport To</TH>
<TH>Distance</TH></TR>
{{#each Spfli}}
<TR>
<TD>{{CARRID}}</TD><TD>{{CONNID}}</TD>
<TD>{{COUNTRYFR}}</TD><TD>{{CITYFROM}}</TD>
<TD>{{AIRPFROM}}</TD><TD>{{COUNTRYTO}}</TD>
<TD>{{CITYTO}}</TD><TD>{{AIRPTO}}</TD>
<TD>{{DISTANCE}}</TD>
</TR>
{{/each}}
</TABLE>
</DIV>
</template>
|
Inside the "server" folder create a file called "HANA_TestServer.js"
| HANA_TestServer.js |
|---|
var myjson = [];
Meteor.methods({
'CallHANA': function CallHANA() {
hdb = Meteor.require('hdb');
client = hdb.createClient({
host : 'hanasvr-XX.sapdevcenter.com',
port : 30015,
user : 'SYSTEM',
password : 'XXXXXX'
});
client.connect(function (err) {
if (err) {
return console.error('Connect error', err);
}
client.exec('select top 10 * from SFLIGHT.SPFLI', function (err, rows) {
client.end();
if (err) {
return console.error('Execute error:', err);
}
var count = Object.keys(rows).length
for(var i=0;i<count;i++){
myjson.push(rows[i]);
}
});
});
return myjson;
}
});
|
Then inside the "client" folder create a file called ""HANAClient.js"...
| HANAClient.js |
|---|
Meteor.startup(function () {
Meteor.call("CallHANA", function (error, result) {
Session.set("myjson", result);
});
});
Template.CallHANA.Spfli = function () {
row = Session.get("myjson");
return row;
};
|
With that ready...simply call up your meteor application and after you refresh your page...I need to work on the reactivity part -:( I'm sure a single button calling the function will do the trick...but I'm tired and I'm lazy...The result from the query will be shown -;)
Not that fancy I know...but for the first step...I guess it's good enough -;)
