Adobe Extension Development

• Exchange Program 入口頁 - https://partners.adobe.com/exchangeprogram/creativecloud.html

• Extension 用戶入口頁 - https://exchange.adobe.com/

• Minimal File Architecture

  • (root/static/)
    • CSXS - manifest.xml: extension information
    • index.html: landing page. file name / location can be changed and is specified in manifest.xml
    • .debug: debug information
    • app.js - host js. file name / location can be changed and is specified in manifest.xml
    • 若需要與 host app 互動 ( AI, PS, etc ) 則需要在 main html 引入 CSInterface.js
      • CSInterface.js 可在 CEP-Resource 中對應的 CEP 版本中找到
        • https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources
        • 比方說, 7.x 的: https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/blob/master/CEP_7.x/CSInterface.js

• Test Extension

  • ln -s ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/your-extension/ static/
    • for windows: {User}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CEP\extensions
  • open localhost:8089 or the port specified in .debug file.
  • 考慮內置 iframe 來做快速開發

• Enable Test / Debug Environment

  • Abbr stands for:

    • CEP: Common Extensibility Platform
    • CEF: Chromium Embedded Framework

  • enable debug mode.

  • mac: defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.8 PlayerDebugMode 1

  • win: in regedit > HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Adobe/CSXS.8, add new entry "PlayerDebugMode", type string, value 1

• Deploy

  • TBD

• Versioning

  • CEP Version vs Host App Version https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/blob/master/CEP_8.x/Documentation/CEP%208.0%20HTML%20Extension%20Cookbook.md#applications-integrated-with-cep
  • CEP / CEF / Chromium Version: https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/blob/master/CEP_9.x/Documentation/CEP%209.0%20HTML%20Extension%20Cookbook.md#chromium-embedded-framework-cef

• Issues

  • Issue about Chrome Remote Debugging
    • community.adobe.com/t5/get-started/debug-console-not-working-correctly/td-p/9608300
      • multiple extensions using the same port
      • need older chromium. find some here:
        • https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/
        • looks like this one is good: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=Mac/324573/
  • Ajax Call
    • Looks like there are issues making https ajax call in extension:
