jsxbin

Convert jsx ExtendScript files into jsxbin files using ExtendScript Toolkit (ESTK)

Example

const jsxbin = require( 'jsxbin' )

jsxbin( 'path/to/script.js', 'output/script.jsxbin' )
	.then( outputfiles => {
		console.log( 'Finished!' )
	})
	.catch( err => {
		console.error( err )
	})

(You must have ExtendScript Toolkit installed for this package to work.)

Methods

jsxbin( inputPaths, [outputPath] )

inputPaths can be:

• String with path to jsx file. script.jsx
• String with glob pattern that matches jsx/js files. *.jsx
• Array of any of the above

outputPath, optional, can be:

• String path to converted file. path/to/script.jsxbin
  • Should only be used when passing only one file as inputPaths
• String path to converted file directory. path/to/output
• Array of string paths of names for all converted files
  • Should only be used when passing an array to inputPaths. Input and output arrays must be the same length.
• If not given, the files will be created in the same directory as the input file(s)

jsxbin returns a promise with an array of file paths to the converted files

Examples

// Just one file
jsxbin( 'script.jsx', 'script.jsxbin' )

// Is the same as
jsxbin( 'script.jsx' )

// Multiple files
jsxbin([ 'script1.jsx', 'script2.jsx' ], 'output/' )

// Using glob string for input, jsxbin files will be placed in 'output/' dir
jsxbin( 'src/*.jsx', 'output' )

// With no output path specified, jsxbin files will be placed in the 'src/' dir
jsxbin( 'src/*jsx' )

// As a gulp task
gulp.task( 'jsxbin', () => {
	return jsxbin( 'src/index.js', 'output/script.jsxbin' )
})
