Creating the Shell of an Asset Extension

Follow the instructions below to create the shell of an asset extension, which is the folder structure of an asset extension:

1. Optionally, create a new asset type. If you are extending a default asset type in ES, this step is not required.

2. Create an asset extension folder structure in the asset directory. For more information, see Asset Extension Components.

   The asset extension directories for the Publisher and Store are as follows:

   ES Component	Directory
   Publisher	<ES_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/publisher/extensions/assets
   Store	<ES_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/store/extensions/assets

   An asset extension directory will contain the following elements:

   • A themes directory with one or more themes (Optional).
   • An asset.js file (Optional).
   • A pages directory (Optional).
   • An apis directory (Optional).
   
   Example:
   The following screenshot explains the general folder structure of an asset extension, where the name of the asset type is servicex.
   
3. Restart ES, so that ES evaluates the changes in the asset.js file.
4. Customize the newly created shell of the asset extension. For more information, see Working with Asset Extensions.
