CDS ​
All examples in these docs work without CDS. On a recent ABAP release, you can also read data through CDS views in your abap2UI5 apps.
ABAP CDS ​
ABAP Core Data Services (CDS) let you define structured views and read data straight from the database. The example below fetches sales orders from the I_SalesOrder view of the Virtual Data Model (VDM) and shows them in a UI5 table:

PUBLIC SECTION.
INTERFACES z2ui5_if_app.
DATA mt_salesorder TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF I_SalesOrder WITH EMPTY KEY.
PROTECTED SECTION.

ENDCLASS.
