Adding New And Overriding Existing Components

6.2.1 Adding New And Overriding Existing Components

If you want to add new component place that component in <CHANNEL_ROOT_PATH>/extensions/components. It follow the same structure which is present in components folder. Same thing is applicable for the existing components. If you want to change anything then copy that component and place it extensions/components folder with the same structure.

If resource bundle needs to change for that component place related resource bundle in <CHANNEL_ROOT_PATH>/extensions/resources location. Structure remain same for <CHANNEL_ROOT_PATH>/resources and <CHANNEL_ROOT_PATH>/extensions/resources folder. Make sure that you updated the resource bundle path in your component.

If any component is present in <CHANNEL_ROOT_PATH>/extensions/components will take precedence over the <CHANNEL_ROOT_PATH>/components. For it we maintaining the list of components available in extensions in <CHANNEL_ROOT_PATH>/extensions/extension.json which is to be entered manually. For example:

Sample JSON for extension.json

{"components":
[<component1>,<component2>].“partials” :
  [“partial1.html”,”partial2.html”]}

In the same manner you can override the partial templates.

Note:

Out of the box we are providing extension for Internal Account Input Component (inernal-account-input). This extension need to be implemented in scenario where the bank account number do not have branch code prefixed in the account.
