Jira Web Resource Plugin Dependency

Jeffrey Gullett

I am attempting to write a Jira web resource plugin, but can't figure out the magic string for the dependency name so that I can use a specific Javascript file.  The file I want to use is located in C:\Program Files\Atlassian\JIRA\atlassian-jira\includes\jquery\plugins\color\color-min.js (or just color.js).  I already have included the dependency com.atlassian.plugins.jquery:jquery.  How do I ensure this other Javascript file is available by the time my Javascript gets run?  I have tried com.atlassian.plugins.jquery:color and com.atlassian.plugins.color:color, without success.  In general, where are these magic strings defined?

My atlassian-plugin.xml file looks like:

<atlassian-plugin ...>
    <plugin-info>
        ...
    </plugin-info>
    <web-resource name="my resources" key="my-key">
        <dependency>com.atlassian.plugins.jquery:jquery</dependency>
        <resource type="download" name="my.js" location="js/my.js" />
        <context>atl.general</context>
    </web-resource>
</atlassian-plugin>

An my.js looks like:

var WHITE = $.Color(255, 255, 255);

How can I modify either atlassian-plugin.xml or my.js to ensure that the color-min.js script has been loaded prior to declaring the global WHITE variable?

Hello,

You need to load your resources either in vm or soy template. For vm it would be like this:

 $webResourceManager.requireResourcesForContext("pluginkey:jira-plugin-resources")
