Unified Experience for Code Refactoring Tools unified-experience

Adobe has developed tools to automate some of the code refactoring tasks required to be compatible with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) as a Cloud Service. To reduce the complexity associated with the installation and setup of different code refactoring tools, Adobe has developed a plug-in to unify tools that operate on code and repositories.

Benefits benefits

The Unified Experience plugin provides the following benefits:

  • Unifies tools that work on source code into one node.js application exposed as aio-cli plugin to provide a consistent user experience to the user.

  • Runs all tools by way of a single command, while also providing the flexibility to run specific tools as needed.

  • Simplifies the addition of new tools, while keeping the experience consistent.

Understanding the Plugin understanding-plugin

The aio-cli-plugin-aem-cloud-service-migration plugin consists of two main parts:

  • User Interface

    • aio-cli commands to execute one or more code refactoring tools (by way of chaining the tools to be run sequentially).
    • config.yaml which takes in the required input parameters.
  • Underlying Code Refactoring Tool Suite

    The code refactoring tools execute their functionalities by:

    • Scanning the respective section of the customer’s code and manipulating the code (based on code implementation for best practices) to produce the output which can then be validated and deployed.

    • Producing a summary report to record the operations performed during execution.

See Git Resource: aio-cli-plugin-aem-cloud-service-migration where you can learn about usage and how you can contribute to this plug-in code that is open-sourced in GitHub.

NOTE
Currently the plugin is integrated with AEM Dispatcher Converter and Repository Modernizer.
