ï‚·Understanding AEM Best Practices: Extending existing components rather than duplicating code is a best practice in AEM. It promotes code reuse, maintainability, and reduces redundancy.

ï‚·Component Extension:

Definition: Extending a component means creating a new component that inherits functionality and styling from an existing component. This allows for modifications and enhancements without duplicating code.

Benefits: This approach leverages the existing codebase, ensuring consistency and reducing maintenance efforts. Changes to the base component propagate to the extended component, making updates easier.

ï‚·Implementation Steps:

Identify the Existing Component: Determine the component that has the desired look and behavior.

Create a New Component: In the AEM component structure, create a new component and specify the existing component as itssling:resourceSuperType.

Customize as Needed: Add or override properties, scripts, or styles in the new component as needed.

ï‚·Example Configuration:

xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0"

xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0"

sling:resourceType="project/components/content/newComponent"

sling:resourceSuperType="project/components/content/existingComponent">
