The NPM local registry that is delivered as part of DEVX/Web IDE does not support the creation of users or adding modules. It is a read-only repository to provide a local cache for SAP supplied and commonly used open source modules. For any other use cases you must build your own full NPM registry or publish publically.

Thanks Thomas,

Your sample coding of SAP open course requires node-xlsx module that doesn't exist, which is causing build error.

Shouldn't WEBIDE automatically download the module node-xlsx from internet (https://registry.npmjs.org) if local registry doesn't have it or doesn't allow publishing it? If it's the rationale, then I will go check the up stream link and proxy setting. Kindly let me know.

Thanks!

Bill

Yes it will automatically fetch those if your upstream and proxy are configured corr
