Shopware 6 administration build only plugin

Question

Is there a command to build only the administration part of a specified plugin? Right now I am building the whole administration to build the public resources for the plugin, which of course takes more time. Since every plugin has it's own resources, shouldn't it be possible to do this?

Answer 1

Since Shopware 6.4.8.0 it seems to be possible to only build the extensions (not a single one, but at least only extensions) by adding the environment variable SHOPWARE_ADMIN_BUILD_ONLY_EXTENSIONS=1

Answer 2

There are no out-of-the-box scripts to selectively build only one module.

The build is based on one single webpack config in vendor/shopware/administration/Resources/app/administration which includes each extension's code as as submodule.

If you are asking to speed up development, you might want to use bin/watch-administration.sh which should only rebuild changed files when you save them.
