17 Work With Components

Components are the basic building blocks of your App UI's user interface. You use them to build the layout of your pages and to add elements that display content or accept input from a user.

The components that you can use in your App UI's pages become available to you in the Components palette and range from static ones like headings and avatars to charts and gauges that visualize data, dynamic components that display content based on rules you define, even custom web components that you can create to support your app's specific needs. You also have access to Redwood layouts, styles, and templates based on the Oracle standard for user experience. You can use these components—all based on Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit (JET)—to create advanced layouts with rich data visualization capabilities.
