Custom Project Build Process

Custom Project Build Template

Cocos Creator 3D supports custom build templates for each project. Add a build-templates folder to the project path, divide the sub-folder according to the platform path. Then all the files in this folder will be automatically copied to the build generated project according to the corresponding folder structure after the build. Currently, all platforms except the native platform support this function, the specific platform name can be referred to the following custom build template platform support table.

Folder Structure:

project-folder
 |--assets
 |--build
 |--build-templates
      |--web-mobile
            |--index.html

If the current platform is web-mobile, then build-templates/web-mobile/index.html will be copied to build/web-mobile/index.html.

In addition to this, build templates can be customized in the following ways.

ejs type

Since the content of the package is not guaranteed to be exactly the same in every version, when the build template within the editor is updated, the developer also needs to update the build template within their project. Now add a new way to use the template, click on Project -> Create preview template in the main menu, and an .ejs template file will be generated for the corresponding platform.

project-folder
 |--assets
 |--build
 |--build-templates
      |--web-mobile
            |--index.ejs

Parameters are imported into these templates during the build, and content that is frequently changed during the build is placed in sub-templates of that template. You only need to modify what you want to use, so that the build templates within the project can be updated less frequently.

Note: The copy template occurs after the rendered template. For example, if both index.ejs and index.html exist in this directory, the final packaged package will be the index.html file instead of the index.ejs rendered file.

JSON Type

Many mini games have their own configuration JSON files, like game.json to WeChat Mini Games. Files in the build templates folder will just copy in default, but this configuration JSON will be merged instead of overwrite. Of course, it doesn't mean that all JSON file will be merged, you can check it in the tables below.
