This feature enables the designers to use the AgileApps components (run-time UI components) to create custom applications. All the basic components are made available as a separate module, package, or library. From here, you can pick the components as per your requirements. Each component has its own input and output behavior.
Β 
==Component Library==
:* Login form component.
:* Record form component.
:* Record view component.
:* Table grid component.
:* Notes editor component.
:* Activity history component.
:* Task view component.
:* Process view component.
:* Attachment component.
:* Dashboard component.
Β 
==Component common structure overview==
:*'''Tag-name'''-You can use all the components by its corresponding tag name. The tag-name syntax details are available in [[Smart Components for AgileApps]].
Β 
:*'''Tag-attribute'''- All the tags have attributes. Some of these attributes are mandatory. These attributes are classified into three categories, namely '''Input Attributes''', '''Output Events''', and '''Component Instance Methods'''.
Β 
:* '''Input-attribute''': Most frequently used input-attributes are '''object-id''' and '''record-id'''. These attributes are native HTML tag attributes and are used along with the normal HTML tag attributes. Some attributes like css-classlist are optional, and is used to apply external style to the component. For example:
Β  Β  <code><ace-record-form ''object-id''="cases" ''record-i''d="-1" id="recordForm" ''css-classlist''="bg-white border border-secondary px-4 py-4"></ace-record-form></code>
Β 
:* '''Output-attribute:'''Β  Output is in event form, triggered by the component. Necessary output-data/information will be available in the 'details' property of the event. To get the output, first of all consumer need to register the output-event with the DOM by 'addEventListener' and take the necessary action when the event will be triggered. Below example gives better understanding.
Β 
'''Example''': Suppose we are going to consume ''<ace-notes-editor></ace-notes-editor>'' component, and we have the pre-knowledge that it trigger output-event in 'saveNote' name (component and its corresponding output-events are described in Design Document). So we register this event in DOM like componentReference.addEventListener('saveNote', function(event){ var data = event.details; // do other staffs. }).
Β 
'''Example of output binding'''
''<ace-notes-editor id="ace-notes-editor" object-id="xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" record-id="xxxxxxxxxx" action-panel="hide" action-button="evenly"></ace-notes-editor>
const notesEditor = document.querySelector('#ace-notes-editor');
notesEditor.addEventListener('saveNote', function (event) {
var data = event.details;
console.log(event.details)
});''
Β 
:* '''Style-attribute''':Β  Consumer can apply the external style on the component through the style-attribute.
'''Example of style-attribute'''
''<ace-notes-editor css-classlist="bg-white border border-secondary px-4 py-4" object-id="xxxxxxxxxxx" record-id="xxxxxxxxxxxx" action-panel="hide" action-button="evenly">
</ace-notes-editor>''
Β 
{{Note|1: Here bg-white, border, border-secondary, px-4, py-4 all are consumer side style class, when these class pass to the component, component will override these style on it's own.
Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  2: Some component has other attributes which are used to hide-show or positioning of the part of the component. Details are available in Design Document.}}
'''Example''': Say notes-editor has two extra optional attributes namely '''action-panel''' and '''action-button''' which are used to
:* show-hide the SAVE, CANCEL button panel.
:* appear this panel in TOP or BOTTOM.
:* SAVE, CANCEL button can positioned in left or right or in equal gap, in between gap, etc. (For details see Design Document).
Β 
'''Instance-public-method''':Β  Consumer can directly access the component's public methods to achieve some custom behavior over the component. (Components and its corresponding public methods are described in Design Document).
'''Example''':Β  Say notes-editor component has 3 public methods which can be access by consumers, these are namely saveNotes(), resetNotes(), inputContent().
so consumer can use these 3 as per their requirement.
Β 
'''Example of public method'''
<p>Custom Notes-editor component</p>
<button onclick="saveNote()">SAVE Notes</button>
<button onclick="cancelNote()">Cancel Notes</button>
<button onclick="updateNotes()">Update Content</button>
<ace-notes-editor id="ace-notes-editor" object-id="xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" record-id="xxxxxxxxxx" action-panel="hide" action-button="evenly"></ace-notes-editor>
const notesEditor = document.querySelector('#ace-notes-editor');
function saveNote() {
notesEditor.saveNotes();
}
function cancelNote() {
notesEditor.resetNotes();
}
function updateNotes() {
const noteObj = {
subject: 'My First Note',
content: 'Hello world !!!'
};
notesEditor.inputContent(noteObj);
}
