JavaScript Build Instructions

These instructions explain how to manually rebuild the JavaScript modules for the TinyMCE plugin. Moodle requires AMD modules, but the source code is written in ES6.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 16+ (Node 22 recommended)

Build Steps

1. Navigate to the package root:

   cd lms-plugins/mediacms-moodle
   

2. Initialize dependencies: (Only needed the first time)

   npm init -y
   npm install --save-dev @babel/core @babel/cli @babel/preset-env @babel/plugin-transform-modules-amd
   

3. Run the Build: This command uses the local Babel binary to avoid version conflicts and transpiles the code to AMD format.

   ./node_modules/.bin/babel tiny/mediacms/amd/src --out-dir tiny/mediacms/amd/build --presets=@babel/preset-env --plugins=@babel/plugin-transform-modules-amd
   

4. Minify (Optional but Recommended): Moodle loads .min.js files by default. This creates copies for production use.

   cd tiny/mediacms/amd/build
   for f in *.js; do cp "$f" "${f%.js}.min.js"; done
