Argon clientlibs

Converts a regular JS or CSS package to an AEM client library

Install

npm install --save-dev argon-clientlibs

This package works with Argon Framework. It works independently if you look a little further.

How does it work?

The package requires argon.config.js file. The configuration looks something like this:

const clientlibDist = `apps/settings/wcm/designs`;
const projectName = `argonui`;
module.exports = {
    jcrRoot: 'dist/jcr_root', // This path will have preference over "target" if it exists
    target: 'dist', // Target root folder
    clientlibs: {
        vendor: {
            categories: ['argonui.vendor'],
            basePath: `${clientlibDist}/${projectName}/clientlibs/vendor.publish`,
            paths: [
                `${clientlibDist}/${projectName}/clientlibs/vendor.publish`
            ]
        },
        global: {
            categories: ['argonui.global'], // Clientlib categories
            // Processor configuration for clientlib minification
            jsProcessor: [
                'min:gcc',
                'obfuscate=true',
                'languageIn=ECMASCRIPT5',
                'languageOut=ECMASCRIPT5'
            ],
            basePath: `${clientlibDist}/${projectName}/clientlibs/global.publish`, // where .content.xml will be placed
            paths: [
                // Scan these folders for js and css files
                `${clientlibDist}/${projectName}/clientlibs/global.publish`,
                `${clientlibDist}/${projectName}/clientlibs/common.publish`,
            ]
        }
    }
};

To convert a regular JS path to a client library run following command

npx create-clientlib

OR

npx create-clientlib --config=someOtherConfig.js
