Provider Selection Strategy
The plugin intelligently selects which providers to use based on the current editor mode:
Design Mode
- Uses:
text2text,text2image,image2image,text2sticker - Focus: Image, text, and sticker generation for design workflows
- UI: Shows AI apps cards for different generation types
Video Mode
- Uses: All providers including
text2video,image2video,text2speech,text2sound,text2sticker - Focus: Comprehensive media generation for video production
- UI: Shows AI apps cards for different generation types
Advanced Configuration
Multiple Providers per Type
You can configure multiple providers for the same generation type by passing an array. When multiple providers are configured, a selection box will be rendered in the AI app interface allowing users to choose between different providers:
import FalAiImage from '@imgly/plugin-ai-image-generation-web/fal-ai';
import OpenAiImage from '@imgly/plugin-ai-image-generation-web/open-ai';
cesdk.addPlugin(
AiApps({
providers: {
// Multiple image providers - selection box will be shown
text2image: [
FalAiImage.RecraftV3({
proxyUrl: 'http://your-proxy-server.com/api/proxy'
}),
FalAiImage.Recraft20b({
proxyUrl: 'http://your-proxy-server.com/api/proxy'
}),
OpenAiImage.GptImage1.Text2Image({
proxyUrl: 'http://your-proxy-server.com/api/proxy'
})
],
// Other providers...
}
})
);Custom Headers and Configuration
Pass custom headers and configuration to providers:
cesdk.addPlugin(
AiApps({
providers: {
text2image: FalAiImage.RecraftV3({
proxyUrl: 'http://your-proxy-server.com/api/proxy',
headers: {
'x-client-version': '1.0.0',
'x-request-source': 'cesdk-plugin',
'x-user-id': 'user-123'
},
debug: true
})
},
debug: true
})
);Property Configuration
Providers support configuring default values for their properties. These defaults can be static or dynamic based on context:
cesdk.addPlugin(
AiApps({
providers: {
text2image: FalAiImage.RecraftV3({
proxyUrl: 'http://your-proxy-server.com/api/proxy',
properties: {
// Static default
image_size: { default: 'square_hd' },
// Dynamic default based on locale
style: {
default: (context) => {
return context.locale === 'ja' ? 'anime' : 'realistic';
}
}
}
})
}
})
);UI Integration
The plugin adds the following UI components to CreativeEditor SDK:
AI Dock Button
The main entry point for all AI features, accessible from the dock:
- ID:
ly.img.ai.apps.dock - Functionality: Opens AI generation interface
- Loading States: Shows progress indicators during generation
- Mode Awareness: Adapts interface based on current editor mode
AI Apps Menu
The plugin shows a card-based interface for different AI capabilities:
- Generate Image: Access to image generation providers
- Generate Video: Access to video generation providers
- Generate Audio: Access to audio generation providers
- Edit Text: Access to text generation providers
Dock Integration
To position the AI dock button in your editor's dock, use the setDockOrder method:
// Add the AI dock component to the beginning of the dock
cesdk.ui.setDockOrder(['ly.img.ai.apps.dock', ...cesdk.ui.getDockOrder()]);
// Or add it at a specific position
const currentOrder = cesdk.ui.getDockOrder();
currentOrder.splice(2, 0, 'ly.img.ai.apps.dock');
cesdk.ui.setDockOrder(currentOrder);Asset History Integration
The plugin automatically integrates generated assets into the appropriate asset libraries. For each generation type, both a history asset source and a corresponding asset library entry are automatically created with the same ID:
- Image Generation History:
ly.img.ai.image-generation.history - Video Generation History:
ly.img.ai.video-generation.history - Audio Generation History:
ly.img.ai.audio-generation.history - Sticker Generation History:
ly.img.ai.sticker-generation.history
These asset library entries are automatically configured with:
- Sorted by insertion date (newest first)
- Square grid item height
- Cover background type
- Removable items
Integrating with Default Asset Libraries
To add these history sources to CE.SDK's default asset library entries, use the following approach:
// Add AI image history to the default image asset library
const imageEntry = cesdk.ui.getAssetLibraryEntry('ly.img.image');
if (imageEntry != null) {
cesdk.ui.updateAssetLibraryEntry('ly.img.image', {
sourceIds: [...imageEntry.sourceIds, 'ly.img.ai.image-generation.history']
});
}
// Add AI video history to the default video asset library
const videoEntry = cesdk.ui.getAssetLibraryEntry('ly.img.video');
if (videoEntry != null) {
cesdk.ui.updateAssetLibraryEntry('ly.img.video', {
sourceIds: [...videoEntry.sourceIds, 'ly.img.ai.video-generation.history']
});
}
// Add AI audio history to the default audio asset library
const audioEntry = cesdk.ui.getAssetLibraryEntry('ly.img.audio');
if (audioEntry != null) {
cesdk.ui.updateAssetLibraryEntry('ly.img.audio', {
sourceIds: [...audioEntry.sourceIds, 'ly.img.ai.audio-generation.history']
});
}
// Add AI sticker history to the default sticker asset library
const stickerEntry = instance.ui.getAssetLibraryEntry('ly.img.sticker');
if (stickerEntry != null) {
instance.ui.updateAssetLibraryEntry('ly.img.sticker', {
sourceIds: [...stickerEntry.sourceIds, 'ly.img.ai.sticker-generation.history']
});
}This integration creates a seamless experience where users can easily find and reuse their AI-generated assets alongside other content.
Quick Actions Integration
The plugin automatically integrates with the quick actions system, providing context-sensitive AI operations directly in the canvas menu. You need to specify the children with the quick action order:
// Quick actions are automatically registered and will appear in canvas menus
cesdk.ui.setCanvasMenuOrder([
{
id: 'ly.img.ai.text.canvasMenu',
children: [
'ly.img.improve',
'ly.img.fix',
'ly.img.shorter',
'ly.img.longer',
'ly.img.separator',
'ly.img.changeTone',
'ly.img.translate',
'ly.img.separator',
'ly.img.changeTextTo'
]
},
{
id: 'ly.img.ai.image.canvasMenu',
children: [
'ly.img.styleTransfer',
'ly.img.artistTransfer',
'ly.img.separator',
'ly.img.editImage',
'ly.img.swapBackground',
'ly.img.createVariant',
'ly.img.combineImages',
'ly.img.separator',
'ly.img.remixPage',
'ly.img.separator',
'ly.img.createVideo'
]
},
...cesdk.ui.getCanvasMenuOrder()
]);Quick actions provide:
- Context-aware operations: Work with currently selected blocks
- One-click transformations: Apply AI operations without opening panels
- Cross-plugin functionality: Actions from one plugin can work with providers from another
Error Handling and Debugging
Debug Mode
Enable debug mode to get detailed logging information:
cesdk.addPlugin(
AiApps({
providers: {
text2image: FalAiImage.RecraftV3({
proxyUrl: 'http://your-proxy-server.com/api/proxy',
debug: true // Provider-level debugging
})
},
debug: true // Plugin-level debugging
})
);Common Issues and Solutions
Provider Not Loading
- Check proxy URLs: Ensure all proxy URLs are correctly configured and accessible
- Verify licenses: Make sure your CreativeEditor SDK license includes AI features
- Check browser console: Look for network errors or API issues
Quick Actions Not Appearing
- Verify canvas menu order: Ensure quick action menus are added to canvas menu order with proper children configuration
- Check provider support: Verify that providers declare support for the quick actions
- Scope permissions: Ensure blocks have the required scopes for quick actions
Generation Failures
- API connectivity: Check that your proxy endpoints are working
- Rate limiting: Verify you're not exceeding API rate limits
- Input validation: Ensure inputs meet provider requirements
Plugin Architecture
How It Works
The AI Apps plugin acts as an orchestrator that:
- Initializes Providers: Sets up all configured AI providers
- Manages UI: Creates appropriate interface based on editor mode
- Coordinates Actions: Integrates quick actions across different plugins
- Handles Assets: Manages generated content and asset library integration
Provider Lifecycle
- Registration: Providers are registered with the global ProviderRegistry
- Initialization: Provider
initializemethods are called - UI Setup: Panels and quick actions are registered
- Event Handling: The plugin coordinates between providers and UI
TypeScript Support
The plugin is fully typed with TypeScript, providing excellent development experience:
import AiApps, { Providers } from '@imgly/plugin-ai-apps-web';
// Strongly typed provider configuration
const providers: Providers = {
text2image: FalAiImage.RecraftV3({
proxyUrl: 'http://your-proxy-server.com/api/proxy'
}),
// TypeScript will enforce correct provider types
};
cesdk.addPlugin(AiApps({ providers }));Related Packages
