Learn how to get access to the Universal Editor and how to start instrumenting your first AEM app to use it.

TIP

If you would prefer to dive right into an example, you can review the Universal Editor Sample App on GitHub.

Although the Universal Editor can edit content from any source, this document will use an AEM app as an example. This document will guide you through these steps.

Instrument the Page instrument-page

The Universal Editor service requires a uniform resource name (URN) to identify and utilize the correct backend system for the content in the app being edited. Therefore, a URN schema is required to map content back to content resources.

Creating Connections connections

Connections which are used in the app are stored as <meta> tags in the page’s <head>.

<meta name="urn:adobe:aue:<category>:<referenceName>" content="<protocol>:<url>">

<category> - This is a classification of the connection with two options.
- system - For connection endpoints
- config - For defining optional configuration settings
<referenceName> - This is a short name which is reused in the document to identify the connection. E.g. aemconnection
<protocol> - This indicates which persistence plugin of the Universal Editor Persistence Service to use. E.g. aem
<url> - Ths is the URL to the system where the changes shall be persisted. E.g. http://localhost:4502

The identifier urn:adobe:aue:system represents the connection for the Adobe Universal Editor.

data-aue-resources will use the urn prefix to shorten the identifier.

data-aue-resource="urn:<referenceName>:<resource>"

<referenceName> - This is the named reference mentioned in the <meta> tag. E.g. aemconnection
<resource> - This is a pointer to the resource in the target system. E.g. an AEM content path such as /content/page/jcr:content

TIP

See the document Attributes and Types for further details about the data attributes and types that the Universal Editor requires.

Example Connection example

<meta name="urn:adobe:aue:system:<referenceName>" content="<protocol>:<url>">

<html>
<head>
    <meta name="urn:adobe:aue:system:aemconnection" content="aem:https://localhost:4502">
    <meta name="urn:adobe:aue:system:fcsconnection" content="fcs:https://example.franklin.adobe.com/345fcdd">
</head>
<body>
        <aside>
          <ul data-aue-resource="urn:aemconnection:/content/example/list" data-aue-type="container">
            <li data-aue-resource="urn:aemconnection:/content/example/listitem" data-aue-type="component">
              <p data-aue-prop="name" data-aue-type="text">Jane Doe</p>
              <p data-aue-prop="title" data-aue-type="text">Journalist</p>
              <img data-aue-prop="avatar" src="https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/cc/icons/Adobe_Corporate_Horizontal_Red_HEX.svg" data-aue-type="image" alt="avatar"/>
            </li>

...

            <li data-aue-resource="urn:fcsconnection:/documents/mytext" data-aue-type="component">
              <p data-aue-prop="name" data-aue-type="text">John Smith</p>
              <p data-aue-resource="urn:aemconnection:/content/example/another-source" data-aue-prop="title" data-aue-type="text">Photographer</p>
              <img data-aue-prop="avatar" src="https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/cc/icons/Adobe_Corporate_Horizontal_Red_HEX.svg" data-aue-type="image" alt="avatar"/>
            </li>
          </ul>
        </aside>
</body>
</html>

Configuration Settings configuration-settings

You can use the config prefix in your connection URN to set service and extension endpoints if necessary.

If you would like not to use the Universal Editor Service, which is hosted by Adobe, but your own hosted version, you can set this in a meta tag. To overwrite the default service endpoint that the Universal Editor provides, set your own service endpoint:

Meta name - urn:adobe:aue:config:service
Meta content - content="https://adobe.com" (example)

<meta name="urn:adobe:aue:config:service" content="<url>">

If you only want to have certain extensions enabled for a page, you can set this in a meta tag. To fetch extensions, set the extension endpoints:

Meta name: urn:adobe:aue:config:extensions
Meta content: content="https://adobe.com,https://anotherone.com,https://onemore.com" (example)

<meta name="urn:adobe:aue:config:extensions" content="<url>,<url>,<url>">
