Modifying existing extensions

Create a modified copy

To modify the extension:

copy the extension source (clone the repository, or copy the files),
modify the source as you see fit,
deploy your version instead of the original version.

Overwrite the scripts

When the Corredor processes your automation scripts, they are assigned an auto-generated name, generated from the source file path.

For example:

# The CRM extension
/ server-scripts
  / crm
    / Lead
      / SetLabel.js

The SetLabel.js script is assigned /server-scripts/crm/Lead/SetLabel.js:default as the name.

To overwrite the SetLabel.js script, you must define a script that will be assigned the same name (has the same path).

For example:

# The CRM extension
/ package.json
/ node_modules
/ server-scripts
  / crm
    / Lead
      / SetLabel.js # <- We're targeting this one
      / AnotherScript.js

# Your extension
/ package.json
/ node_modules
/ server-scripts
  # To overwrite something in the CRM extension
  / crm
    / Lead
      / SetLabel.js # <- This version will replace the CRM version

  # The rest of your code goes here
  / extension
    / Lead
      / SomeScript.js

For this to work, you must make sure that your extension is included after the extension you wish to modify.

For example:

# This will NOT work; the CRM is included after
CORREDOR_EXT_SEARCH_PATHS="/your-ext:/crm"

# This will work; the CRM is included before
CORREDOR_EXT_SEARCH_PATHS="/crm:/your-ext"
