The DOM Editor extension allows content authors to create and edit a hierarchy of components to structure their content in an abstract manner, for use in a Document Object Model.
This extension can optionally be registered against a Hub with in the Dynamic Content application (Developer -> Extensions), to allow it to load within that Hub.
- Category: Content Field
- Label: DOM Editor
- Name: dc-extension-dom-editor (needs to be unique with the Hub)
- URL: https://dom-editor.extensions.content.amplience.net
- Description: DOM Editor extension (can be left blank, if you wish)
- Initial height: 1200
Note: You can use our deployed version of this extension (builds from the "production" branch) - https://dom-editor.extensions.content.amplience.net
As this is an open source project you're welcome to host your own "fork" of this project. You can use any standard static hosting service (Netlify, Amplify, Vercel, etc.) if you wish. Further information can be found on the Hosting page.
To use the DOM Editor, you first need to add a field to your content type schema that is configured to use the DOM Editor extension.
If you have registered your extension as detailed above, you then simply need to add a field to your content type schema that is configured to use the DOM Editor extension.
"propertyName": {
"type": "object",
"ui:extension": {
"name": "dc-extension-dom-editor",
"params": {
"slots": {},
"components": []
}
}
}It is also possible to to add an instance of the extension to a content type schema without first registering it. This can be done by referencing the extension by its URL instead of its name.
"propertyName": {
"type": "object",
"ui:extension": {
"url": "https://dom-editor.extensions.content.amplience.net",
"params": {
"slots": {},
"components": []
}
}
}You can then configure your instance of the DOM Editor with slots and their allowable components. These should be added to the params object in your ui:extension field.
"slotName": {
"title":"string",
"allow": []
}| Property | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| title | string | The title of the slot. If not defined, the title will default to the property name. If 2 or more slots are defined at the same level, the title will be displayed within the extension. |
| allow | string OR array, required |
Defines which components can be added to this slot. Contains component names as an array of strings. Use "*" if you want all components to be valid children. |
"header": {
"title":"Header",
"allow": [
"header-link",
"header-inline"
]
}"body": {
"title":"Body",
"allow": "*"
}{
"name": "string",
"title": "string",
"group": "string",
"infoLink": "string",
"icon": "string",
"properties": {},
"preview": {},
"slots": {}
}| Property | Format | Description |

| infoLink | string | A link to an external resource. Can be used for providing documentation for your custom components. |
| icon | string | A custom icon for the component for easier identification. Will accept Material Icons by name (eg "image"), or a custom image as a URL.If no value provided, will default to settings Material icon. |

Below are some example components which are loosely associated to one-another, to help you get started.
