Set Up Necessary Tools
- Ensure you have an SAP Cloud Platform account set up, as this is necessary for SAP Leonardo integration.
- Download and install Adobe XD from their official website and ensure you have the latest version updated on your system.
Create a New Adobe XD Project
- Open Adobe XD and create a new artboard to start designing your app. Choose the correct dimensions for your target platform.
- Familiarize yourself with Adobe XD features such as tools, plugins, and components that can be useful for designing and prototyping your application.
Access SAP Leonardo Services
- Log into your SAP Cloud Platform and navigate to the ‘Services’ catalog to locate SAP Leonardo services that you wish to integrate into your Adobe XD application.
- Activate required services by following the SAP Cloud Platform guide and ensure proper access rights are set up.
Use Adobe XD Plugins
- Navigate to the Adobe XD Plugin Manager and look for plugins that can help integrate with SAP Cloud Platform APIs. While there may not be a specific plugin for SAP Leonardo, general REST API plugins can streamline the process.
- Install any chosen plugins directly in Adobe XD to assist with the API integration process.
Integrate SAP Leonardo via REST API
- Identify the APIs offered by SAP Leonardo that you want to integrate, referring to the SAP API Business Hub for documentation and reference.
- Create a new API connection from Adobe XD using your chosen plugin or manually through a fetch call within your design workflow. Below is an example of a fetch API call in JavaScript:
fetch('https://api.leonardo.sap/your_service', {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
Design Interactions in Adobe XD
- Using Adobe XD's prototyping tools, integrate interactive elements that will use data from SAP Leonardo.
- Utilize the APIs to populate data dynamically into your prototype, ensuring a realistic and functional design.
Test Your Integration
- Perform thorough testing within Adobe XD to ensure that the integration works smoothly, and data is being fetched and displayed correctly from SAP Leonardo.
- Make adjustments as necessary to improve data interaction and user experience.
Export and Share Your Prototype
- Once your design and integrations are working perfectly, use Adobe XD’s sharing capabilities to export your prototype and gather feedback.
- Share your prototype link with stakeholders and demonstrate how SAP Leonardo is integrated within your design workflow.
