Excited to announce that UXP plugin dev just got way faster with Bolt UXP :zap: our new boilerplate for building UXP plugins with React, Svelte or Vue built on Vite + TypeScript + Sass.

Bolt UXP comes packed with useful features for developers like:

  • :computer: CLI Quick Starter
  • :fire: Instant Hot-reloading
  • :white_check_mark: TypeScript definitions
  • :package: CCX & ZIP packaging
  • :robot_face: C++ Hybrid Plugin setup
    and more!

You can get started today with yarn create bolt-uxp and follow the CLI starter to pick your framework, apps, and everything else you need.

Bolt UXP is totally free and open-source, so give it a try and let me know how you like it!

Huge thanks to @pkrishna @Erin_Finnegan @Ingo @amandah and the rest of the UXP team for having me demo Bolt UXP on the office hours today! :pray:

Wanted to show some love here as well. I was having a hell of a time getting Svelte + Typescript + UXP + Hot Reload + Webpack all working together, and this just worked out of the box. Hot reload and everything. Thank you so much!

PS: I noticed that the cc-ext-uxp-types dependency is pointing to your fork instead of adobes. Does adobes official one not work?

Awesome to hear! If you end up publishing any plugins with Bolt, let us know in our Discord, we like to repost them on our socials.

Yes the fork of cc-ext-uxp-types is temporary until the Adobe one has some fixes:

@justin2taylor this is really cool - I was trying to upgrade it to be compatible with Svelte 5 so I could contribute it back (runes are :ok_hand:) but I found what I think might be a fundamental incompatibility with UXP and the way Svelte 5 runs it’s initial render. Have you tried this at all?

Had someone testing in the Discord as well, running into issues. It seems that the .firstChild method is missing in UXP which Svelte 5 needs to function properly.

It should be returning an HTML object

Bolt UXP 1.1 now supports Svelte 5 if you want to give it a try:

That is EXACTLY what I was butting up against. Thank you so much for sorting that so quickly, was definitely a headache on this end!

Gave it a thorough test this morning and it all seems to be working reliably.

Great project man, I’ll join the Discord!
