Having Code Samples in the AE UXP documentation is going to be really important as just defining the objects & properties in the docs like it is now doesn’t show devs how things fit together.

* * *

For example the [RenderQueue](https://developer.adobe.com/after-effects/uxp/after-effects-api/renderqueue) object is documented, but there’s no instructions on how to use it.

In ExtendScript we would use functions on it directly like

```javascript
app.project.renderQueue.queueInAME(true)

```

In UXP, it seems we need to instantiate the object to access the methods:

```javascript
const rq = new aftereffects.RenderQueue();
rq.queueInAME(false)

```

Currently there isn’t a way to know this from the documentation aside from trial and error.

* * *

And on a similar note, having a sample panel is useful for developers to see different examples of various behaviors in the API. I think the Premiere UXP sample panel is a good reference: [GitHub - AdobeDocs/uxp-premiere-pro-samples · GitHub](https://github.com/AdobeDocs/uxp-premiere-pro-samples)

Also worth noting, the only code sample I can find in the docs is incorrect.

At least in 27.1.0 (Build 21) You’d need to get the app object first:

```javascript
const aftereffects = require("aftereffects");
const app = aftereffects.app;

app.beginUndoGroup("Update composition");

// Make changes to the active project.

app.endUndoGroup();

```
