qext v2.2.0

qExt

While the qext-scripts package helps with automating the build and deployment of your extensions, qext will help you get your extension development environment started with template project directories and configuration settings

Setup

It is recommended to install qext globally so that a new extension project can be started from any location

npm install -g qext

Usage

qext is run from the command line.

qext --create-extension my-extension --template starter --install

The above command will create a new project directory with whatever name was passed to the --create-extension flag.

Template Projects

You have the option to set the --template flag to either starter, base, or vanilla-base. By default, the starter templtate is built. Click below to see the contents of each template

• starter - includes extension api modules such as paint, controller, and others, with configuration set up for compile mode
• base - sets up a single javascript file and qext file that gets compiled
• vanilla-base - sets up a javascript file and qext file that doesn't get compiled

By including the --install flag, qext will automatically install the latest version of qext-scripts in your project.
