Universal Editor model definition generator

[madppiper]

Universal Editor sometimes requires JSON configurations to define component models (especially when the AEM Component Console is not used).

Add an action "Generate UE Model Definition" that:

• Takes a selected Sling Model (Java) or HTL file as input
• Generates the JSON schema required by Universal Editor so that it knows which fields are editable
• Outputs the configuration in the correct format expected by the UE component model

As mentioned by @Atlantic83

Hi @madppiper Is it implemented? I didn't find it

[Pfenya]

This should be in there - give me a moment to check. at least I added something that worked on my initial test 😉 Just need to find it again

[Pfenya]

On a HTL File when you right click and select Generate the Universal Editor modle should be an option - it opens a smaller window with additional settings

[Pfenya]

there seems to be an issue still from a sling model - will look into that tomorrow as well

[Atlantic83]

@Pfenya Hi! How are things going?

[Pfenya]

@Atlantic83 I just pushed a new update to Jetbrains, it includes an update for the Sling Model in Java: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/download?rel=true&updateId=955256

@Pfenya
1.

2. On a HTL File when you right click and select Generate the Universal Editor modle should be an option - it opens a smaller window with additional settings

I didn't find it, can you show example ?

[Atlantic83]

@Pfenya Hi! plz check

[Pfenya]

hey @Atlantic83 what is the file type on that first one? .js? just so i can check on the correct type. Unfortunately it makes a difference.

as for 2 - i will check with the release version to make sure it did not get lost somehow again between dev and release versions

yes, .js file
Generate the Universal Editor - i try in Model and HTL

[Pfenya]

Thanks - I will check. As for the Generate: something did get lost between versions. It is not working for me with the release version either so I am running some additional tests to make sure they match in functionality

[Pfenya]

I've done another update. The Generate should now be possible and .js support is improved but i feat that @madppiper might have to have a look at the autocomplete for that again because i cannot get the support for getting the data-are-* to complete to work in Jetbrains Ultimate.

new download is here: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/download?rel=true&updateId=957268

I think we can close this? I added a fix for 2026.2.0 with the last issue.
