+1 This might encourage more use of the EasyEDA API.

I've never trusted APIs on EDA tools as they have a habit of not being tested on updates and suddenly stopping working.

Is there an alternative?

Doing it by hand :-)     I've managed so far but I agree some tasks should be automatable.

Hi When the editor ready , we will update our API document and create a new Category at the forum.

I want to run a local js script with one click. And this script could be edited in any convenient programming environment. I tried to use different "include" methods in the js script, but nothing happened.

I myself will answer: for the convenience of debugging, you can add to the end of the script **easyeda.extension.quickScript ();** and then the script window will not close

**A convenient example for the built-in script editor.** try { console.clear() //Your code. } catch(e) { alert('Error: ' + e.name + ":" + e.message + "\n" + e.stack);} function ScriptWindowReSize() { //debugger; var PanelWindow=document.getElementById('dlgInstallScript').parentElement;      PanelWindow.style.width='1100px' var PanelHeader=PanelWindow.getElementsByClassName('panel-header panel-header-noborder window-header')[0];      PanelHeader.style.width='100%' var dlgInstallScript = document.getElementById('dlgInstallScript');     dlgInstallScript.style.width= '100%'     dlgInstallScript.style.height='650px'     var Panel=dlgInstallScript.getElementsByClassName('panel')[0];         Panel.style.width='100%'         Panel.style.height='600px'     var DialogContent=Panel.getElementsByClassName('dialog-content panel-body panel-body-noheader panel-body-noborder')[0];         DialogContent.style.width='100%'         DialogContent.style.height='100%'     var textarea=DialogContent.getElementsByTagName('textarea')[0];         textarea.style.width='98%'         textarea.style.height="565px";     var DialogButton =dlgInstallScript.getElementsByClassName('dialog-button')[0];         DialogButton.style["text-align"]="left" } easyeda.extension.quickScript (); ScriptWindowReSize();

@MikeDB The API needs its own set of tests which is run as part of all modifications and extensions.

@legrady Agreed.  But as even very expensive paid for tools from C/M/S and A/X often fall down this hole, what chance with free software/
