Creating and Wiring a Custom SmartEdit Extension in SAP Commerce Cloud

Hello! In this video, I will show you how to create a "SmartEdit extension", and wire it to SmartEdit.  First, I'll open a "command-line window",  then I'll go to this directory,  and run this command in Mac/Linux, or this command in Windows.  To create a new SmartEdit extension, I'll run 'ant extgen', then, for template, I'll specify 'ysmarteditmodule',  for extension name, I'll specify, 'smartedittest',  and for package name, I'll specify, 'com.sap.smartedittest'.  Now, I'll open this xml file in any pure text editor, add: ,  and finally, I make sure to save my changes.  Then, I'll run 'ant npminstall' in a command-line window.  Next I run 'ant updatesystem',  and finally, I'll clean and build my Commerce platform by running 'ant clean build'.  This will build my Commerce platform, with my new SmartEdit extension as part of it.  Now, I start the server by runnning './hybrisserver.sh' in Mac/Linux, or 'hybrisserver.bat' in Windows.  Now, I'll open SmartEdit, by entering the following URL in my browser, and log in to SmartEdit as the admin user.  In order to wire the newly-created extension to SmartEdit, we need to add two configuration items. First, I open the Configuration Editor, by clicking Settings in the header toolbar, the third icon from the right, then I click the Create Configuration button.  In the first key field, I input, "applications.smartedittest", then, in the corresponding value field, I input the following.  then I click the "Save button" to save my changes.  Next, I once again click the "Settings button" Now, I click the Create Configuration button. In the first key field, I input, "applications.smartedittestContainer".  In the corresponding value field, I input the following,  and I click Save button to save my changes. Now, I access the URLs for smartedittest.js, and smartedittestContainer.js in my browser.  The contents of smartedittest.js and smartedittestContainer.js, under this directory, will be displayed in the browser.  Now, I open the localhost URL in a browser, I choose, "Electronics Site", and click, Homepage for the staged version.  A new perspective, named Ab.Analytics.Perspective.Name will be shown. I click this perspective. And a new toolbar item, named, "Ab.Analytics.Toolbar.Item.Name", will be visible in the toolbar.  That's it for now. Thanks for watching!
