iBom for EasyEDA is a native extension for EasyEDA and LCEDA: Standard Edition. It is based on the awesome project called InteractiveHtmlBom designed and built by qu1ck.

Although InteractiveHtmlBom already supports generation of interactive BOMs from EasyEDA projects, but it involves messing with Python scripts and requires to host the generated html files somewhere. Since my knowledge of Python === null, and my favorite tool for designing electronics is EasyEDA - I decided to give it a shot and port it as a native extension.

Comparing to original solution, iBom for EasyEDA is available right within EasyEDA itself:

• There is no need to run any Python scripts.
• No need to host the produced html files.
• iBom is always accessible by clicking a single menu button from your PCB document!
• It also provides an ability to generate a stand-alone HTML representation the same way InteractiveHtmlBom does out of the box.

NOTE: This extension is still in ALPHA/BETA stage - a lot of things should be done in order to make it fully compatible with EasyEDA.

Installation

1. Download easyeda-ibom-v0.1.2.zip
2. Un-zip the downloaded archive on your hard drive.
3. Go to Extension Settings dialog by using main menu Advanced -> Extensions -> Extensions Settings....
4. Click Load Extension... button and add all the files in from the extracted folder using Select Files... button.
5. Click Load Extension and close the Extension Settings dialog.

Usage

Within EasyEDA

In order to launch iBom within the editor itself - just click on iBom -> Launch... menu item:

You can always dismiss the iBom view by clicking on the little close button located in the right-top corner of the panel.

Generating stand-alone HTML representation

Just click iBom -> Generate & Download HTML menu item in order to get the stand-alone representation of your PCB document:

Note: In case the downloaded file doesn't have .html extension - just add it manually. It is some sort of weird browser behaviour for the case to be investigated.

Credits

This solution uses:

• InteractiveHtmlBom as a core component.
• A "hackable" nature of EasyEDA/LCEDA - thank you guys for allowing us messing with the product! 👏
• svg-path-bbox for calculating various bounding boxes during EasyEDA -> InteractiveHTMLBOM data conversions.
