Create a Component

You can create customized components for use in Oracle Content Management.

While Oracle Content Management provides many predefined components for use in building a website, as a developer, you can create custom components with access to the same features and capabilities. These component types include local, local rendered in an inline frame, and remote rendered in an inline frame.

Local Component

When you create a local component, you are given a fully functional sample component that you use as a basis for creating your own component. Select Knockout to create a Knockout version of the component, or select one of the template versions: Mustache, Preact, or React. See Create Local Components or Layouts in Building Sites with Oracle Content Management.

Local Component with an Inline Frame

When you create a local component with an inline frame, you are given a fully functional sample component that you use as a basis for creating your own component. You’ll use the same instructions as for creating a local component, and also select the Knockout (Sandboxed) option to create an inline frame version of the component that is stored locally. See Components Rendered in Inline Frames.

Remote Component

When you create a remote component, which uses an inline frame, select the Knockout (Sandboxed) option.

Copy the created files to your remote server, and register the remote component. Test the component before including it in your published site.

See Components Rendered in Inline Frames and Register a Remote Component.
