9.36.2 Workspace Integration

Workspace integration of a custom app follows the same rules that hold for other extensions / plugins. Basically two ways are distinguished, namely as (1) part of the Blueprint and (2) as an application plugin.

Blueprint Integration

The Blueprint integration follows the integration of the built-in apps.

  • A new custom app is simply placed under WORKSPACE_ROOT/apps/studio-client/apps just as the Content App and the Workflow App are.
  • The app package is added to the pnpm-workspace.yaml.
  • The app is added as a dependency to the package @coremedia-blueprint/studio-client.studio located in WORKSPACE_ROOT/apps/studio-client/global/studio.
  • The app is added to the appPaths property of WORKSPACE_ROOT/apps/studio-client/global/studio/jangaroo.config.js alongside the other apps. App path, name and build directory are specified here.
      appPaths: {
        "@coremedia-blueprint/studio-client.main.app": "",
        "@coremedia-blueprint/studio-client.workflow.app": "apps/workflow-app",
        "@coremedia-internal/edited-contents-app": {
          name: "studio-client.my-edited-contents",
          path: "apps/mec-app",
          buildDirectory: "dist"
        }
      },
    Instead of specifying the app path and name like this, they can also be put in the jangaroo entry of the app's package.json.
      "jangaroo": {
        "appName": "studio-client.my-edited-contents",
        "appPath": "apps/mec-app"
      }

Integration As An Application Plugin

In Section Blueprint Workspace For Developers > Concepts And Architecture > Application Plugins > Plugins For Studio Client of the Blueprint Developer Manual, it is described how Studio extensions can be added as so-called application plugins. These plugins do not need to be part of the Blueprint build but can be added dynamically later on.

A custom app as a whole can also be added as such an application plugin. In this case, the extension point to which the plugin is added is simply studio-client (instead of studio-client.main or studio-client.workflow for the Content App and Workflow App).

For the development phase of an app application plugin, the easiest way is to modify WORKSPACE_ROOT/apps/studio-client/global/studio/jangaroo.config.js as follows:

  • Add the directory root path of your app to the additionalPackagesDirs property.
  • Add the app to the appPaths property as described above.
