AEM Front Extension: Streamlining AEM Development
AEM Front Extension is a free Chrome add-on developed by Kevin Weber. It is designed to work in conjunction with the AEM Front module for NPM, providing a seamless development experience for AEM developers.
One of the key features of this extension is the automatic page reload. Unlike static websites, AEM instances require a page reload whenever code changes are deployed. With AEM Front Extension, developers no longer need to manually reload pages, saving them valuable time and effort.
To enhance productivity, the extension offers a keyboard shortcut (`cmd + e`) to switch between WCM Mode "disabled" and "edit". This shortcut automatically opens the appropriate mode based on the current page. In case the shortcut doesn't work, simply click on the page to ensure it is focused before trying again.
Additionally, AEM Front Extension provides a convenient app icon that opens a popup with multiple configuration options. This allows developers to customize their workflow and optimize their development environment.
For AEM developers looking to streamline their development process, AEM Front Extension is a valuable tool that eliminates the need for manual page reloads and offers convenient configuration options.
