cep-bundler-core

Core functionality for making bundler extensions to compile CEP. All the functionality is exposed through one simple function:

const core = require('cep-bundler-core')

core.compile({
  out: '/path/to/dist',          // REQUIRED type: string
  isDev: false,                  // OPTIONAL type: boolean, default: false
  devPort: 8080,                 // OPTIONAL type: number, default: 8080
  devHost: 'localhost',          // OPTIONAL type: string, default: localhost
  env: 'production',             // OPTIONAL type: string, default: process.env.NODE_ENV
  root: '/path/to/project/root', // OPTIONAL type: string, default: process.cwd()
  htmlFilename: './index.html',  // OPTIONAL type: string, default: 'index.html'
  pkg: require('./package.json') // OPTIONAL type: object, default: require(opts.root + '/package.json')
})

out

The out option specifies where the manifest.xml, dev.html, node_modules folder and (optionally) .debug file are saved to, this is usually the folder where your compiled javascript ends up.

isDev

When isDev is true, the bundler will create a dev.html file that contains a redirect to http://${devHost}:${devPort}, when isDev is false, it will not create a dev.html file but will set the MainPath in the manifest.xml to the value set through the htmlFilename option.

devPort & devHost

See the isDev option above, these options are used to specify where your bundler dev server is running, when compiling with isDev set to true, a html file will be created that will redirect to your dev server.

env

The env option is used when you want different configurations for other environments, you might for example have development, staging, ci and production environments that you want to configure differently. This option is only used when configure the bundler through your package.json, here is an example of using different extension names for different environments.

"cep": {
    "development": {
        "name": "My Extension DEVELOPMENT",
        "id": "com.mycompany.myextension.development",
    },
    "beta": {
        "name": "My Extension BETA",
        "id": "com.mycompany.myextension.beta",
    },
    "production": {
        "name": "My Extension",
        "id": "com.mycompany.myextension",
    }
}

root

The root option determines where the bundler should look for the package.json and node_modules folder, when you leave this off the current working directory will be used.

htmlFilename

The htmlFilename is the name of your html file, this option is only used when isDev is false. This path is relative from the out folder.

pkg

Optionally pass in the package.json object yourself, it will load the json from the package.json in the root folder by default.

CEP Configuration

You can configure CEP a either through environment variables or by a config object under the cep key in the package.json of your project.

package.json

"cep": {
    "name": "My Extension",
    "id": "com.mycompany.myextension",
    "hosts": "*"
}

Environment Variables

Either set thorugh your terminal or add to the .env file.

CEP_NAME="My Extension"
CEP_ID="com.mycompany.myextension"
CEP_HOSTS="*"

Options

Id

This is the unique id of the extension.

"id": "com.mycompany.myextension"

Environment variable: CEP_ID

Version

This sets the version of the bundle.

"version": "1.2.0"

Environment variable: CEP_VERSION

Name

This sets the name of extension as it will show in the application.

"name: "My Extension"

Environment variable: CEP_NAME

Hosts

By default, the extension will target all known Adobe hosts. To target specific hosts, modify the list of the hosts you want to target. For example, to target just Illustrator and After Effects:

"hosts": "ILST, AEFT"

And to target specific versions:

"hosts": "ILST, IDSN@*, PHXS@6.0, AEFT@[5.0,10.0]"

This will target all versions of Illustrator and In Design, Photoshop 6.0, and After Effects 5.0 - 10.0.

Environment variable: CEP_HOSTS

Icon

To add a custom panel icon, add all icon files and set their paths in your config:

"iconNormal": "./assets/icon-normal.png",
"iconRollover": "./assets/icon-rollover.png",
"iconDarkNormal": "./assets/icon-dark.png",
"iconDarkRollover": "./assets/icon-dark-rollover.png"

Environment variables:

CEP_ICON_NORMAL="./assets/icon-normal.png",
CEP_ICON_ROLLOVER="./assets/icon-rollover.png",
CEP_ICON_DARK_NORMAL="./assets/icon-dark.png",
CEP_ICON_DARK_ROLLOVER="./assets/icon-dark-rollover.png"

Panel Size

"panelWidth": 500,
"panelHeight": 500,

Environment variables:

CEP_PANEL_WIDTH=500
CEP_PANEL_HEIGHT=500

Panel Minimum Size

"panelMinWidth": 500,
"panelMinHeight": 500,

Environment variables:

CEP_PANEL_MIN_WIDTH=500
CEP_PANEL_MIN_HEIGHT=500

Panel Maximum Size

"panelMaxWidth": 500,
"panelMaxHeight": 500,

Environment variables:

CEP_PANEL_MAX_WIDTH=500
CEP_PANEL_MAX_HEIGHT=500

CEP_DEBUG_PORT_MUST="3011"
CEP_DEBUG_PORT_KBRG="3012"

Debug in production

Enabling this will create the .debug file, even when building for production.

"debugInProduction": true

Environment variable:

CEP_DEBUG_IN_PRODUCTION="1"

CEF Params

"cefParams": [
    "--allow-file-access-from-files",
    "--allow-file-access",
    "--enable-nodejs"
]

Environment variable:

CEP_CEF_PARAMS="--allow-file-access-from-files,--allow-file-access,--enable-nodejs,--mixed-context"
