Package Structure

Component plug-ins are packaged in ZIP files. This page describes the required ZIP structure.

This version of Appian supports component plug-ins that use SDK version 2.0.0. Refer to the Integration SDK compatibility table for version details.

Package structure

The folder structure of your component plug-ins references properties from the plug-in manifest file including the component's rule-name and version attributes.

  • file Plug-in, packaged as a ZIP file
    • file appian-component-plugin.xml - Component plug-in package manifest
    • folder Component folder, one for each component rule-name defined in the plug-in
      • folder Component version folder, one for each major version (For example: v1, v2)
        • file Plug-in web content, including HTML, JS, CSS, etc. files. The HTML file used as the component's html-entry-point should be placed in this folder. Use subfolders for organization.
        • file Internationalization bundles (For example: <rule-name>_en_US.properties)

Notes

  • The appian-component-plugin.xml manifest file and all component rule name folders must be at the root directory of the zip file.
  • All paths for web content should be relative to its version folder as it will be unpacked into separate directories inside the container on deployment.
  • Internationalization bundles are removed from the folder structure when the plug-in is deployed. Don't reference these files in your code.

Example

  • The package version is 2.1.0
