Page Component page-component
The Page Component is an extensible page component designed to work with the template editor and allows page header/footer and structure components to be assembled with the template editor.
Usage usage
The Page Component forms the basis of all pages designed with the Core Components as well as editable templates. By using the Page Component, headers, footers, and the structure of the page can be defined as a template using the other Core Components.
Using the design dialog, custom client-side libraries can be defined for the page. Unlike other components which have an edit dialog accessible directly from the component, because the Page Component is the page itself, the edit dialog of the Page Component is the page properties window.

Client Libraries - This defines the client library categories to load. JavaScript is added at the body end and the CSS is added to the page head.
-
Client Libraries JavaScript Page Head - This defines the JavaScript Client library categories to load in the page head.
- Categories defined here that are also present in the Client Libraries field will have JavaScript loaded in the page head instead of at body end.
- No CSS will be loaded unless the category is also present in the Client Libraries field.
-
Web Resources Client Library - The client library category that is used to serve web resources such as favicons.
-
Skip to main content element selector - Used as an accessibility feature to skip directly to the main content of the page
-
Render alternative language links - If enabled, links to alternate language versions of the page in the same site will be added to the page’s head.
Libraries can be configured for both the Client Libraries and Client Libraries JavaScript Page Head fields as follows:
- To add a new field click or tap the Add button below the fields.
- To remove a field click or tap the trash can icon next to the field to be removed.
- To rearrange the load order, click or tap and drag the handle next to the field to be moved.
