Auto-Create Components With The Component Wizard

Paquet Builder can automatically generate components based on the structure of your source folders. This feature is accessible via the Component Wizard button in the File Manager.

When launched, the wizard will guide you through the process of creating components for each sub-folder within a specified root folder.

Preparing Your Folder Structure

To use this feature effectively, prepare your folder structure so that each sub-folder represents a logical group of files. For example:

C:\My Documents\pb\Source\My component A\
C:\My Documents\pb\Source\My component B\
C:\My Documents\pb\Source\My component C\

Selecting a Root Folder

Choose the root folder containing the sub-folders to be processed. In the example above, selecting C:\My Documents\pb\Source\ as the root folder will create the following components:

  • My component A
  • My component B
  • My component C

Creating Components

  1. Turn on the checkboxes for the sub-folders you wish to convert into components.
  2. Press Finish. Paquet Builder will:
  3. Create the components.
  4. Add the files from each sub-folder to their respective component.
  5. Automatically configure component properties.

Default Settings for Auto-Created Components

  • Source-Linked Components: Paquet Builder marks the components as source-linked by default. This means the component is synchronized with the corresponding source folder, ensuring that changes in the folder's contents are reflected in the component.

Limitations

  • Root Folder Scope: Only sub-folders directly under the selected root folder are processed. Files and folders nested deeper within these sub-folders are included as part of their respective parent component.
