Hello everyone 👋! I’m migrating to 2019.2 from 2018.2 and we’ve override the base SuiteCommerce JavaScript files using

ns.package.json

In the latest version all the SuiteCommerce files are in

.ts

format and all our files are in

.js

format. So what will be the best way to override “.ts” files? Can we override the file with this snippet?

"overrides": {
    "../Advanced/Home/JavaScript/Home.View.ts": "JavaScript/Home.View.js",
    "../Advanced/Home/Configuration/Home.json": "Configuration/Home.json"
}

I don't think that is a supported use case. Overriding JavaScript files is not considered good practice in almost all scenarios, but it may work if you override the outputted JS file with your override. You may be able to create a new TS file and put your override JS in that and then tell it to override the corresponding TS file with your TS file, but this is starting to get very yucky.

So what will the best practice to override SCA files?

I believe I described your answer to your situation above. JS files can override JS files, TS files can probably override TS files (I've not tried). But the reason it's not good practice is because you're replacing core parts of our application with your own, which creates a lot of work for you (as demonstrated by this conversation).

Thank you for the clarification! Will try with extensions.

OK, you understand that this will be a completely different approach to customisations than you've done before, right? You can't override a JS file in an extension.

Yes, I understand that it will very big change so, will discuss with team and see what will work the best for us.

This is not something the extensibility API can do and not something we would encourage developers doing anyway.

We’re not overriding all the modules, but for some modules we’ve different requirements based on our website features, functionality and theme, that’s why the question.

OK, well, conceptually speaking, that is not something you can (or even should) do with the extension framework

Thank you for the clarification! Appreciate it. 🙂
