**The Ultimate Build Tool for HTML5 Playable Ads**
`@smoud/playable-scripts` is a powerful CLI and API tool designed to streamline the development, optimization, and packaging of HTML5 playable ads for multiple ad networks. Whether you're building playables for **Google Ads, Meta (Facebook), AppLovin, Unity, IronSource, Vungle, Mintegral, and more**, this tool provides a one-command solution to handle network-specific requirements, asset optimization, and build automation.
## Features
- 🚀 **One-Command Build Process** – Easily generate builds for different ad networks.
- ⚡ **Automatic Optimizations** – Includes minification, tree-shaking, and dead code elimination.
- 🎯 **Pre-configured for Major Ad Networks** – Works out of the box with **Google Ads, Meta (Facebook), AppLovin, Unity, IronSource, Vungle, Mintegral, and many more**.
- 🛠️ **Customizable** – Extend the default build pipeline as needed.
## Installation
```bash
npm install --save-dev @smoud/playable-scripts
```
## Quick Start
1. Install the package
2. Create a basic project structure:
```
your-playable/
├── src/
│ ├── index.html
│ └── index.ts
├── package.json
└── build.json (optional)
```
3. Add scripts to your package.json:
```json
{
"scripts": {
"dev": "playable-scripts dev",
"build": "playable-scripts build"
}
}
```
4. Start development:
```bash
npm run dev
```
5. Build for google:
```bash
npm run build google
```
## 🎮 Playable SDK
While `@smoud/playable-scripts` handles the build process, you'll need additional functionality to make your playable ads fully compatible across different ad networks. This is where [`@smoud/playable-sdk`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@smoud/playable-sdk) comes in.
### ✨ Why Use Playable SDK?
`@smoud/playable-sdk` is a powerful, unified SDK that:
- 🔄 Seamlessly integrates with multiple ad network SDKs (MRAID, Google, Facebook, Vungle, etc.)
- 🎯 Provides a standardized interface for all networks
- 🚀 Ensures cross-platform compatibility and optimization
- 🛠️ Handles ad network-specific requirements automatically
- 💪 Lets you focus on creating engaging interactive ads
### 🔧 Implementation Guide
#### 1. Installation
```sh
npm install @smoud/playable-sdk
```
#### 2. Basic Setup
```javascript
import { sdk } from '@smoud/playable-sdk';
// Initialize SDK with container dimensions
sdk.init((width, height) => {
new Game(width, height);
});
```
#### 3. Event Handling
```javascript
sdk.on('resize', game.resize, game);
sdk.on('pause', game.pause, game);
sdk.on('resume', game.resume, game);
sdk.on('volume', game.volume, game);
sdk.on('finish', game.finish, game);
```
#### 4. Playable Lifecycle
```javascript
// Mark as resources loaded and gameplay started
sdk.start();
// Mark as complete
sdk.finish();
// Handle CTA clicks
installButton.onclick = () => sdk.install();
```
### 🔍 Alternative Approach
If you choose not to use `@smoud/playable-sdk`, you'll need to:
- Implement network-specific requirements manually
- Handle compatibility issues across different platforms
- Manage SDK integrations individually

## Build Configuration (build.json)
The `build.json` file allows you to customize build options. Here's the format:
```json
{
"filename": "{app}_{name}_{version}_{date}_{language}_{network}",
"app": "AppName",
"name": "ConceptName",
"version": "v1",
"language": "EN",
"google_play_url": "https://play.google.com/store/games",
"app_store_url": "https://www.apple.com/app-store/"
}
```
All fields are optional and will use the default values shown [here](#default-options) if not specified.
Check [Default options](#default-options) to see full list of available options.
## Output directory and filename template
The `outDir` and `filename` templates supports the following variables:
- `{app}` - Application name
- `{name}` - Concept name
- `{version}` - Build version
- `{date}` - Current date
- `{language}` - Language code
- `{network}` - Target ad network
- `{hash}` - Unique build identifier
## Meta Tags
`@smoud/playable-scripts` automatically manages viewport meta tags for optimal display across devices.
**Do not specify your own `viewport` meta tag** as it will be handled and injected into your HTML automatically:
- ``
> For Mintegral network, a special viewport configuration is used:
> ``
Additionally, unless `--skip-recommended-meta` is provided, the following recommended meta tags are automatically injected:
```html
```
## Examples
### Development
Start development server:
```bash
playable-scripts dev --port 3000 --open
```
### Building
Build for AppLovin:
```bash
npx playable-scripts build applovin
```
```bash
npm run build applovin
```
Build with DAPI protocol with specific version:
```bash
npx playable-scripts build ironsource --protocol dapi --version endcard_2
```
```bash
npm run build ironsource -- --protocol dapi --version endcard_2
```
