create-ts-entry-point

Read @.ai/Component/Javascript/CONTEXT.md for the page structure and webpack config.

1. Directory structure

Create admin-dev/themes/new-theme/js/pages/{domain}/:

{domain}/
├── index.ts              # Listing page entry point
├── form.ts               # Form page entry point (simple)
│   OR form/index.ts      # Form page entry point (complex, with sub-files)
└── {domain}-map.ts       # DOM selector mappings (optional, for pages with many selectors)

For simple pages, index.ts and form.ts are enough. Only create subdirectories and manager classes for genuinely complex pages.

2. Listing entry point (index.ts)

Initializes the Grid instance and adds extensions. See init-grid-extensions skill for the full extension list and patterns.

Reference: admin-dev/themes/new-theme/js/pages/tax/index.ts (simple), admin-dev/themes/new-theme/js/pages/manufacturer/index.ts (multiple grids)

3. Form entry point (form.ts or form/index.ts)

Initializes the global components the form needs. See init-js-components skill for the full component list and usage.

For simple forms, a few initComponents calls are all you need. For complex forms with Vue sections, see the create-vue-integration skill.

Reference: admin-dev/themes/new-theme/js/pages/attribute/form/index.ts (simple form)

4. Webpack registration

Add the entry point in admin-dev/themes/new-theme/.webpack/common.js:

entry: {
  // ...existing entries...
  {domain}: './js/pages/{domain}',              // listing
  {domain}_form: './js/pages/{domain}/form',    // form (if separate)
}

Output: admin-dev/themes/new-theme/public/{domain}.bundle.js

The Twig template must include this bundle via a <script> tag (see create-twig-index-template / create-twig-form-template).

Rules

  • Entry points must be registered in webpack — unregistered files are not compiled
  • Grid ID in new Grid('{domain}') must match the GRID_ID from the PHP grid definition
  • For simple pages, the entry point IS the logic. Manager classes are for complex pages only
