Description

Added a new sample demonstrating how to enable JSON schema-based autocomplete and validation for Adobe Express add-on manifest files in VS Code and Cursor editors.

Related Issue

Motivation and Context

Developers working on Adobe Express add-ons need better development experience when editing manifest.json files. This sample provides:

  • JSON schema validation for manifest.json files
  • Autocomplete suggestions for valid manifest properties
  • Real-time validation to catch configuration errors early
  • Better IDE integration for add-on development

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Verified autocomplete works in VS Code with the provided schema configuration
  • Tested with Cursor editor for compatibility
  • Validated that the JSON schema correctly matches Adobe Express add-on manifest structure

Screenshots (if appropriate):

Thanks for putting up this PR! Auto-suggestions for manifest.json is a great addition!
I have a few suggestions:

  • You can add these .vscode files to the add-on templates here. Path: <template_name>/template/.vscode
  • Another question is how you created the express-add-on-manifest.schema.json file - did you create it manually or did you use some tool to generate it? If you are auto-generating, can you add the script here?

Thanks for the feedback! 🙌

  • I’ve added the .vscode files to the add-on templates at <template_name>/template/.vscode.
  • The express-add-on-manifest.schema.json was created manually since the docs don’t fully define all the types (especially optional ones).
  • I’ve also added a copy-schema script in the repo to copy the schema files to all the templates.

Opened a PR with these changes here: adobe/create-ccweb-add-on#47

Let me know if there’s anything else I should tweak!
