About#

The Python application utilizes Flask for effective API management. When XSUAA is enabled, a decorator helper is in place to seamlessly check for authorization and authentication.

The project configuration may vary depending on whether XSUAA (SAP Cloud Foundry service for authorization and authentication) is enabled or not.

|---python
|   |---Procfile
|   |---requirements.txt
|   |---server.py
|   |---xsuaa_check.py

If XSUAA is enabled

To ensure proper configuration of your frontend application, you will need to include a .env file in the root directory of the frontend project. This file should contain the necessary environment variables and configurations for VCAP_SERVICES and VCAP_APPLICATION.

Here is an example for the same:

Usage Instructions#
