I am developing an extension for InDesign and I would like to store the jsx file on a server. This would allow me to update the plugin if I change something in the jsx without the user having to re-download the extension. I tried to directly do an include in the jsx that is mentioned in the manifest to try to point to the real jsx like this:
local-index.jsx :
//@include "https://server-name/adobe/addins/extendscript/server-index.jsx"
It doesn't work and I couldn't find any information on the web. Is it possible or does the jsx file have to be local ?
Thanks in advance !
You can make AJAX request in local JS to retrieve JSX string from server
See example below
Server side PHP code be like:
<?php
//JSX Code
echo
"
alert ('Hello From Server');
file = new File('~/Desktop/fromServer.txt');
file.open('w');
file.write('Hi');
file.close();
";
//OR JSXBIN Code
//Use eval and remove line breaks from JSXBIN String
echo "eval('@JSXBIN@ES@2.0@MyBbyBn0AFJAnA.....')";
?>
JS code client side:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
cache:false,
url: URL,
complete: function (Res) {
scr = Res.responseText;
csInterface.evalScript(scr);
},
async: false //For Synchronous Excecution
});
