entando-components

entando-components is one of the mainstays of the Entando Platform. It provides all functionality of specific software elements, called Entando components or Entando extensions, useful to extend the standard Entando platform features and/or use them to improve custom applications.

The Entando components are:

• Bundles extend functionality of portal-ui component and/or views’ functionality of the other Entando components.
• Plugins extend functionality of engine, and admin-console components.
• Apps extend functionality of engine, admin-console and portal-ui components. Apps are composed of business logic, and one or more views.

The Entando components project, based on Apache Maven, is organized in three modules including all Entando extensions ready to use just now:

1. apps module, including all Apps.

2. plugins module, including all Plugins.

3. ui-bundles module, including all Bundles.

To create a new Entando component, for example a new Plugin, you have to use the Entando archetype for plugin: https://github.com/entando/entando-archetypes.

Regarding the App, currently a related archetype is not available. An App is a component that has the pom.xml file where you can set the dependencies with the appropriate Plugin and Bundle for the view. Shortly, the archetype for App components will be create.

entando-components depends strictly on entando-core and entando-archetypes.

Entando core and Entando archetypes are Open Source projects; more information about them can be found respectively in https://github.com/entando/entando-core and https://github.com/entando/entando-archetypes.
