Plugin JSX

Plugins get a JSX runner scoped to their own plugin directory.

const result = await this.jsx.execute("createLayer", {
  name: "Generated",
});

This resolves:

<pluginDir>/jsx/createLayer.jsx

Built-in JSX

Plugins can call built-in JSX resources through the same runner:

const info = await this.jsx.executeBuiltin("Document/getDocumentInfo", {
  id: 1,
});

Raw Scripts

Use run() for inline ExtendScript when no packaged JSX file exists:

const name = await this.jsx.run<string>("app.activeDocument.name");

Plugin JSX vs Remote JSX

Plugin this.jsx is scoped to the plugin authoring context. Remote SDK connection.jsx exposes protocol-level JSX methods over WebSocket.

Use plugin this.jsx when writing a plugin. Use connection.jsx when writing a remote client.
