[Data Layer] Extension point for data layer properties #1830

Open avitripathy01 opened 3 years ago

Discussed in https://github.com/adobe/aem-core-wcm-components/discussions/1829

Originally posted by **avitripathy01** September 15, 2021 Hi, Is there a way to extend the core components data layer attributes ? For e.g. currently the Page component has default attributes below. - @type, - dc:title - xdm:language etc. How could I extend to add more attributes to the page object in the data layer ? My initial thought was to override the getComponentData() in the sling model using a custom PageDataBuilder wrapping the core component PageDataBuilder but the parent class GenericDataBuilder is not public either. Any guidance on how to achieve the above requirement?

Any updates on this?

Currently, the only way to extend the properties that the core components store in the data layer is to treat the proxy component as a custom component and to follow the guidance provided here: https://github.com/adobe/aem-core-wcm-components/blob/master/DATA_LAYER_INTEGRATION.md#enabling-the-data-layer-for-custom-components

As this is not ideal nor developer friendly, we agree that we should provide a better extension point for the properties that the core components store in the data layer. Therefore, adding this to the "major" milestone.
