If you want to load the development `'.js` code use the following:\n\n```javascript\nsmalltalk.AmberProjectImporter._importJsPackages_prefix_(\n              [ \n                'ExternalProjectPackage',\n              ],\n              '/projects/externalProject/');\n```\n\nand for deployment (i.e., loading the `.deploy.js` files:\n\n```javascript\nsmalltalk.AmberProjectImporter._importDeployJsPackages_prefix_(\n              [ \n                'ExternalProjectPackage',\n              ],\n              '/projects/externalProject/');\n```\n\nWhen you use **AmberProjectImporter** to import your code,\n**AmberProjectExporter** will\nautomatically commit your code to the same directories (`js` and `st`) from which you loaded\nthe code.\n\n### Share code with other Smalltalk dialects\n\nIf you install the [Cypress package][5] support (included by default)\nand register your package as a **cypress** package:\n\n```Smalltalk\nAmberProjectExporter \n\t\tregisterPackage: 'MyPackageName' \n\t\ttype: 'cypress' \n\t\tprefix: 'packages/'\n```\n\nYou package will be stored in the [Cypress package][5] format which is\nunderstood by a number of Smalltalk dialects ([Pharo][6], [Squeak][7], [GemStone][8],\n[Amber][9], and [VW][10] as of this writing. A VAST port is in the works).\n\nIf you want to load code from another Smalltalk dialect that was saved\nin [Cypress package][5] format, execute the following code in a\nworkspace: \n\n```Smalltalk\nCypressAmberImporter\n\t\timportCypressPackages: #('ForeignPackageName')  \n\t\tprefix: 'path to directory containing ForiegnPackageName.package'\n```\n\n*As of this writing, I haven't done any experiments loading code from\nother dialects - Amber is the first `non-Monticello` dialect I've worked\nwith), so I'll be interested in your results:).*\n\n## Examples\n\nThis project is a perfect example. In particular look at the `index.html` file for examples of loading code using the **AmberProjectImporter** class.\n\n## Installation\n\nTo start working with your own **Amber Skeleton** project:\n\n  1. [Fork the Amber Skeleton][11] project.\n  2. [Rename the forked project][12] to the name you want the project to\n     have. *Note that you might want to have a personal fork of the \n     Amber Skeleton project so you can customize the project for your\n     own needs.*\n  3. Clone your project to your local machine.\n  4. Change the commit reference for the `git submodules` (i.e., remove\n     and add the submodule references). It is easier\n     to this immediately after cloning. See [Git Submodules: Adding,\n     Using, Removing, Updating][4] for more information about using\n     submodules.\n  5. `init and update` the `git submodules:\n\n    ```shell\n        git submodule init\n        git submodule update\n    ```\n    \n  6. Build your Amber File server. See the README in the `server/pharo` directory.\n\n## Known Issues\n\nRight now there is only one issue of note:\n\n  * [Slow initial load][13]\n\n## Laurent Laffont's Amber 0.9.1 OneClick\n\nThe bulk of the work for the Amber File Server is based on the [Amber 0.9.1 OneClick][15] done \nby [Laurent Laffont][14].\n\n## Project Dependencies\n\n**Amber projects**:\n\n * [Amber][16]\n * [amber-cypress][17]\n\n**Pharo projects**:\n\n * [Cypress][18]\n * [Pharo][21]\n * [amber-server][19]\n * [Filetree][20]\n\n[1]: https://github.com/NicolasPetton/amber\n[2]: https://github.com/NicolasPetton/amber/wiki/Writing-my-first-app\n[3]: http://help.github.com/submodules/\n[4]: http://chrisjean.com/2009/04/20/git-submodules-adding-using-removing-and-updating/\n[5]: https://github.com/CampSmalltalk/Cypress\n[6]: https://github.com/dalehenrich/filetree/tree/pharo1.3\n[7]: https://github.com/dalehenrich/filetree/tree/squeak4.3\n[8]: https://github.com/dalehenrich/filetree/tree/gemstone2.4\n[9]: https://github.com/dalehenrich/amber-skeleton\n[10]: https://github.com/CampSmalltalk/STIG\n[11]: https://github.com/dalehenrich/amber-skeleton/fork_select\n[12]: https://github.com/blog/128-let-there-be-renaming\n[13]: https://github.com/dalehenrich/amber-skeleton/issues/1\n[14]: https://github.com/lolgzs\n[15]: http://forum.world.st/ANN-Amber-0-9-1-OneClick-td4378569.html\n[16]: https://github.com/NicolasPetton/amber\n[17]: https://github.com/CampSmalltalk/amber-cypress\n\n[18]: https://github.com/CampSmalltalk/Cypress\n[19]: https://github.com/dalehenrich/amber-server\n[20]: https://github.com/dalehenrich/filetree\n[21]: http://www.pharo-project.org/home","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdalehenrich%2Famber-skeleton","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdalehenrich%2Famber-skeleton","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdalehenrich%2Famber-skeleton/lists"}
