# EasyEDA Pro API Skill
Control EasyEDA Pro (嘉立创EDA专业版) programmatically through AI. This skill provides:
1. **Complete API reference** — 120 classes, 62 enums, 70 interfaces, 19 type aliases
2. **WebSocket bridge** — Execute code in the running EasyEDA Pro client
3. **Code patterns** — Common operations for PCB, schematic, library, and project management
4. **Document source format reference** — File format specifications for project, schematic, and PCB sources when users need to analyze or modify EasyEDA document source directly instead of using the API
This skill supports not only live debugging in EasyEDA, but also EasyEDA extension development.
During EasyEDA extension development, AI agents can use the extension-related documentation, API references, type information, usage examples, and bridge-based debugging capabilities provided by this skill to look up APIs, write code, and validate behavior during integration and debugging.
## Architecture
```
┌───────────┐ HTTP/WS ┌─────────────────┐ WebSocket ┌───────────┐
│ AI Agent │ ◄───────────► │ Bridge Server │ ◄───────────► │ EasyEDA │
│ │ Port Range │ (Node.js) │ Port Range │ (Client) │
└───────────┘ 49620-49629 └─────────────────┘ 49620-49629 └───────────┘
```
The server auto-selects an available port from 49620-49629 on startup.
Both AI and EDA clients auto-discover the server by scanning the port range
and verifying a handshake (`service: "easyeda-bridge"`).
## Quick Start
### 1. Command Triggers
When user says **"嘉立创EDA,启动!"**, **"立创EDA,启动!"**, or **"EDA,启动!"**:
**IMPORTANT: Session initialization** — Reply immediately with this exact text to set the correct session title:
```
📋 EasyEDA Session
```
Then proceed with the setup steps below.
### 2. Install dependencies (if needed)
```bash
cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} && npm install
```
### 3. Start bridge server
> **⚠️ IMPORTANT**: The bridge server must run in the background. Do NOT run it in the foreground, or the AI will block waiting for the server to exit.
```bash
# Check if bridge is already running
for port in $(seq 49620 49629); do
resp=$(curl -s http://localhost:$port/health 2>/dev/null)
if echo "$resp" | grep -q '"easyeda-bridge"'; then
echo "Bridge already running on port $port"
BRIDGE_PORT=$port
break
fi
done
# Start bridge if not running
if [ -z "$BRIDGE_PORT" ]; then
node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/bridge-server.mjs &
sleep 2
# Find the port bridge is running on
for port in $(seq 49620 49629); do
resp=$(curl -s http://localhost:$port/health 2>/dev/null)
if echo "$resp" | grep -q '"easyeda-bridge"'; then
BRIDGE_PORT=$port
break
fi
done
fi
echo "Bridge running on port: ${BRIDGE_PORT:-unknown}"
```
### 4. Connect EasyEDA
Install the `run-api-gateway.eext` extension in EasyEDA Pro. Download link:
- https://ext.lceda.cn/item/oshwhub/run-api-gateway
After the extension is loaded, it will automatically establish the WebSocket connection.
### 5. Verify connection and select EDA window
```bash
# Check bridge and EDA connection status
curl http://localhost:${BRIDGE_PORT:-49620}/health
# List all connected EDA windows
curl http://localhost:${BRIDGE_PORT:-49620}/eda-windows
```
The `/eda-windows` response looks like:
```json
{
"windows": [
{ "windowId": "abc-123", "connected": true, "active": true },
{ "windowId": "def-456", "connected": true, "active": false }
],
"activeWindowId": "abc-123",
"count": 2
}
```
**Handle based on window count**:
- **0 windows**: Tell user "No EasyEDA window is connected. Please ensure the EasyEDA extension (run-api-gateway.eext) is installed and loaded in EasyEDA. Download: https://ext.lceda.cn/item/oshwhub/run-api-gateway"
- **1 window**: Auto-selected as active. Tell user: "✅ Connected! Active EDA window: abc-123. Ready to work."
- **2+ windows**: Show the available windows and ask user to select:
```
Multiple EDA windows detected:
- abc-123 (active)
- def-456
Which EDA window should I use?
```
**Select a window**:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:${BRIDGE_PORT}/eda-windows/select \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"windowId": "abc-123"}'
```
After selection, confirm: "✅ Active EDA window: abc-123. Ready to work."
### 6. Execute code on EDA
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:${BRIDGE_PORT:-49620}/execute \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"code": "return await eda.dmt_Project.getCurrentProjectInfo();"}'
```
## API Documentation
The full API reference is in the [references/](references/) directory:
- [references/_index.md](references/_index.md) — Master index of all classes, enums, interfaces, and types
- [references/_quick-reference.md](references/_quick-reference.md) — All method signatures for rapid lookup
- `references/classes/` — 120 class docs (DMT_*, PCB_*, SCH_*, LIB_*, SYS_*, IPCB_*, ISCH_*)
- `references/enums/` — 62 enum docs
- `references/interfaces/` — 70 interface docs
- `references/types/` — 19 type alias docs
### How to look up API
1. **Start with `_index.md`** to find the right class/module for the task
2. **Read the class doc** (e.g., `references/classes/DMT_Board.md`) for all methods and signatures
3. **Use `_quick-reference.md`** for fast method signature lookup across all classes
4. **Check enums/interfaces** for parameter types and return types
### Document Source Format Documentation
If the user needs to analyze or modify EasyEDA document source directly instead of using the API, use the documents in the [format/](format/) directory.
- [format/index.md](format/index.md) — Overview of the EasyEDA document source format references and version notes
- `format/project/` — Project source structure, metadata, blobs, variants, and grouping data
- `format/schematic/` — Schematic source format, including structure, wires, shapes, pins, components, and tables
- `format/pcb/` — PCB source format, including primitives, pads and vias, shapes, text, attributes, rules, and panel data
Use these files when the task is about understanding source layout, generating compatible document source, or editing source data that will later be imported back into EasyEDA.
### API Module Overview
| Prefix | Domain | Key Classes |
|--------|--------|-------------|
| `DMT_` | Document management | Board, EditorControl, Folder, Panel, Pcb, Project, Schematic, SelectControl, Team, Workspace |
| `PCB_` | PCB & Footprint | Document, Drc, Event, Layer, Net, Primitive, PrimitiveComponent, PrimitiveLine, PrimitivePad, PrimitivePour, PrimitiveVia, SelectControl |
| `SCH_` | Schematic | Document, Event, Primitive, PrimitiveComponent, PrimitiveWire, SelectControl |
| `LIB_` | Library | 3DModel, Cbb, Classification, Device, Footprint, LibrariesList, PanelLibrary, SelectControl, Symbol |
| `SYS_` | System | Dialog, Environment, FileManager, FileSystem, FontManager, HeaderMenu, I18n, IFrame, LoadingAndProgressBar, Log, Message, MessageBox, MessageBus, PanelControl, Setting, ShortcutKey, Storage, Timer, ToastMessage, WebSocket, Window |
| `IPCB_` | PCB interfaces (图元) | PrimitiveArc, PrimitiveComponent, PrimitivePad, PrimitiveFill, PrimitivePour, PrimitiveRegion, PrimitiveVia, ... |
| `ISCH_` | Schematic interfaces (图元) | PrimitiveArc, PrimitiveComponent, PrimitiveWire, PrimitiveText, PrimitiveRectangle, ... |
| `EPCB_` / `ESCH_` | Enums | PrimitiveType, Layer, PadType, ... |
## Code Execution Context
All code runs inside EasyEDA Pro's browser runtime as:
```javascript
async function(eda) {
// Your code here — `eda` is the global EDA API object
// You MUST use `return` to send results back
// Do not add comments to the generated code, as the code is typically executed as a single line
}
```
**Critical rules:**
- The `eda` object provides access to all API modules (e.g., `eda.dmt_Board`, `eda.pcb_Primitive`).
- Always refer to the API documentation for correct usage.
- Do not add comments to the generated code, as the code is typically executed as a single line.
- Always use `return` to get results — `console.log` output is NOT captured.
- All API methods returning promises must be `await`ed.
- Code runs in browser context — no Node.js APIs (fs, path, etc.) available.
- Use `eda.sys_Message.showToastMessage(msg)` for user-visible notifications.
- When reviewing API documentation and encountering enumerations, do not guess the enumeration values. You must use the enumeration members, for example: `EPCB_LayerId.TOP` instead of `1` for the layer parameter in PCB primitive creation.
### Extension Runtime Constraints
When writing EasyEDA extensions, standard browser APIs are **forbidden** in the main process. Use EDA-provided alternatives:
| Purpose | ❌ Forbidden | ✅ Use Instead |
|---------|-------------|----------------|
| Get user input | — | `eda.sys_Dialog.showInputDialog()` |
| User selection | — | `eda.sys_Dialog.showSelectDialog()` |
| Show message | `alert()` | `eda.sys_Dialog.showInformationMessage()` |
| Confirm action | `confirm()` | `eda.sys_Dialog.showConfirmationMessage()` |
| Toast notification | DOM manipulation | `eda.sys_Message.showToastMessage()` |
| Store data | `localStorage` (main process) | `eda.sys_Storage.setExtensionUserConfig(key, value)` |
| Custom UI | Manipulate host DOM | `eda.sys_IFrame.openIFrame()` |
| Show HTML | `showInformationMessage(html)` | Must use iframe |
| Open link | `window.open()` | `eda.sys_Window.open()` |
| Browser hardware API | Use in main process | Available in iframe (`navigator.serial`, etc.) |
**Note:** `localStorage`, `window`, `document` etc. are available **inside `sys_IFrame`** but NOT in the main extension process.
### Extension ↔ IFrame Data Passing
The main extension process and `sys_IFrame` iframe are **isolated contexts**. To pass data between them:
**Option A (Recommended):** Use `eda.sys_Storage` as a bridge
```javascript
// In main extension process:
await eda.sys_Storage.setExtensionUserConfig('myKey', JSON.stringify(data));
// In iframe:
const data = JSON.parse(await eda.sys_Storage.getExtensionUserConfig('myKey'));
```
**Option B:** Both contexts can access `eda` directly — call the same API from either side
```javascript
// In iframe HTML (NOT window.parent.eda):
const info = await eda.dmt_Project.getCurrentProjectInfo();
```
## Communication Protocol
### Port Discovery
The bridge server listens on the first available port in **49620-49629**.
To find the server, scan the range and verify the service identity:
```bash
for port in $(seq 49620 49629); do
resp=$(curl -s http://127.0.0.1:$port/health 2>/dev/null)
if echo "$resp" | grep -q '"easyeda-bridge"'; then
BRIDGE_PORT=$port; break
fi
done
```
### Handshake
- **HTTP**: `GET /health` returns `{ "service": "easyeda-bridge", "edaConnected": bool, ... }`
- **WebSocket**: On connect, server sends `{ "type": "handshake", "service": "easyeda-bridge" }`
- Clients MUST verify `service === "easyeda-bridge"` before using the connection
### Message Format
JSON messages over WebSocket / HTTP:
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `type` | `"execute"` \| `"result"` \| `"error"` \| `"ping"` \| `"pong"` \| `"handshake"` | Message type |
| `id` | `string` | Request UUID for matching request/response |
| `code` | `string` | JavaScript code to execute (for `execute` type) |
| `result` | `any` | Execution result (for `result` type) |
| `error` | `string` | Error message (for `error` type) |
| `service` | `string` | Service identifier (for `handshake` type) |
| `timestamp` | `number` | Unix milliseconds |
## Common Patterns
### Project & Board Operations
```javascript
// Get current project info
return await eda.dmt_Project.getCurrentProjectInfo();
// List all boards in project
return await eda.dmt_Board.getAllBoardsInfo();
// Create a new board (optionally link to schematic/PCB)
return await eda.dmt_Board.createBoard();
// Switch to a document tab
await eda.dmt_EditorControl.activateDocument(tabId);
```
### Example: Open a project by name and open its first schematic page
```javascript
const targetProjectName = 'NE555 Circuit';
// 1. Enumerate projects by team/folder and find the target by name
const teams = await eda.dmt_Team.getAllTeamsInfo();
const seenProjectUuid = new Set();
let targetProjectUuid = null;
for (const team of teams || []) {
const teamProjects = await eda.dmt_Project.getAllProjectsUuid(team.uuid);
for (const projectUuid of teamProjects || []) {
if (seenProjectUuid.has(projectUuid)) continue;
seenProjectUuid.add(projectUuid);
const info = await eda.dmt_Project.getProjectInfo(projectUuid);
const name = info?.friendlyName || info?.name || '';
if (name === targetProjectName) {
targetProjectUuid = projectUuid;
break;
}
}
if (targetProjectUuid) break;
