ABAP Check Tables (CT, CH)
Custom input helps

Installation

Server runtime component:

npm install abap-value-input-help

Usage

Add server routes for generic ABAP Search Helps API

Search Help Type	route	ABAP API
Fixed domain values (FV)	`/fieldvalues/<path>`	`SHLP_DOMVALUES_GET`
Elementary and Complex Search Helps (SH)	`/helpselect` `/search`	`SHLP_METADATA_GET` `SHLP_VALUES_GET`
Check Tables (CT)	`/tabselect`	CT/CH tables' query
Custom input helps	`/valuelist/`	any ABP RFM

More API details: unit tests

Add custom attribute shlp to input component, like:

<!-- Fixed Domain Values -->
<ui-input data-abap.bind="{ddic:'CHAR', type:'string', length:1}" label="Partial/Final Confirmation"
  value.bind="serviceOrder.confirmation.FIN_CONF"
  shlp.bind="{type:'FV', id:'AUERU_VS'}"
></ui-input>

<!-- Check Tables -->
<ui-combo clear ddic-length="1" ddic-type="CHAR" mid="EQT" label="Equipment category"
  value.bind="equipment.ES_SPECIFIC.EQUICATGRY"
  shlp.bind="{type: 'CT', id: 'T370T'}"
></ui-combo>

<!-- Complex/Elementary Helps Search Helps -->
<ui-input ddic-length="18" ddic-type="CHAR" label="Equipment #"
  value.bind="installDetail.equiId"
  shlp.bind="{type: 'SH', id: 'EQUI', blacklist: 'SH EQUIR', autoselect: 'SH EQUIT'}"
></ui-input>
