Updating Clientlibrary base directory to DAM is not working

Can you explain why you would want to do that? That is an anti-pattern. Please go through this documentation to understand the purpose of client libraries: link.

Keep in mind that although the client libraries are stored under /apps, the "allowProxy" property will make them available at a certain open location from where they can be accessed publicly. I don't know if that's your use case, but it is worth noting.

Regards,

@mayank-saxena1987  seems what ever you have done is right. But did you update the clientlibs definition ?

Modify your client library definitions to point to the new location. This typically involves updating the categories property in the clientlib node.

• Navigate to http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/ui/content/dumplibs.html.
• Update the categories property to point to the new location. For example, change apps/myproject/clientlibs to content/dam/clientlibs/myproject.

And Repackage your client libraries and deploy them. This might involve building your front-end code and recompiling your client libraries and also Update any references to client libraries in your codebase. Make sure your components and pages are referencing the correct paths.

• Best Practices: It's generally considered a best practice to keep client libraries in the "apps" directory, as this is where AEM expects them by default.

• Performance: Loading client libraries from content/dam might affect performance, as this directory is primarily intended for assets like images, documents, etc., rather than code and configurations.

Hi @mayank-saxena1987 

• #base=/content/dam/myfolder/clientlibs/base/js

  Ensure that this path matches the actual DAM folder structure where you want to store your client library files.

• Adobe Granite HTML Library Manager Configuration: Verify that your client library configuration in the Adobe Granite HTML Library Manager reflects the changes:

  • Go to the AEM Web Console at http://<your-aem-instance>:<port>/system/console/configMgr.
  • Find the configuration for "Adobe Granite HTML Library Manager."
  • Check that the configuration for your client library points to the correct path in DAM.

• Allowed Library Paths: In the same Adobe Granite HTML Library Manager configuration, under "Allowed Library Paths," ensure that you have added the path to your DAM folder:

• /content/dam/myfolder/clientlibs

• Replication: If your AEM instances are distributed (author and publish), ensure that the DAM assets and configurations are correctly replicated to the publish environment.

• Flush and Reload: After making changes, flush the AEM cache and clear your browser cache. This ensures that you are not seeing cached versions of the JavaScript files.

• Logs and Debugging: If the issue persists, check the AEM logs for any errors related to the client libraries. Additionally, enable client-side debugging tools in your browser to inspect network requests and identify any issues.
  
  Thanks 🙂

Hi @mayank-saxena1987 
Writing code directly in the content area is not considered a best practice. Doing so may result in issues, especially if someone gains access to code files through the Digital Asset Manager (DAM), where they could potentially delete those files. It is recommended to create JavaScript files in the /apps folder instead
