jsxbin-webpack-plugin is a Webpack 4.x plugin for compiling ExtendScript into .jsxbin files for use in Adobe CEP extensions. If you are looking for Webpack 3.x support, use v0.0.4 and older.

Get Started

npm install --save-dev jsxbin-webpack-plugin

const JSXBinWebpackPlugin = require('jsxbin-webpack-plugin')

module.exports = {
  entry: {
    'app-extendscript': 'app-extendscript.js'
  },
  output: {
    path: 'dist'
  },
  plugins: [
    new JSXBinWebpackPlugin({
      test: /-extendscript\.js$/
    })
  ]
}

Features

• Uses the jsxbin package to compile from JS to JSXBin files.
• Includes a test option to only compile specific output chunks.

Why use this?

Instead of using a build tool like gulp to take raw ES5 code and package it, I've found it to be a lot more flexible to use something like Webpack and Babel to first transpile the code, and then compile it down to the JSXBin format.

Since Webpack and Babel are already involved for transpiling the code, introducing something like gulp or a bash script into the mix would be introducing yet another tool into the build pipeline for my CEP plugins.
