Whenever you manipulate one of these source files, you can run the createPluginFromMacro() function shown below to update the plugin and then run copyHtmlPlugin to install it in Alteryx. Make sure that your working directory is the plugin directory and also remember to set options(alterx.path = <path to alteryx directory>) before the install.
library(AlteryxRhelper)
options(alteryx.path = <path to alteryx>)
createPluginFromMacro()
copyHtmlPlugin()To build the javascript files, run the following code from the root directory of the plugin.
withr::with_dir("Extras/App", system('npm run build-umd'))
file.copy('Extras/App/dist/src.js', 'app.min.js', overwrite = TRUE)
