Adobe Client Data Layer with AEM Core Components - Expose dataLayer using JSON Exporter

we are extending core components and have added custom attributes in the data layer.

however, we want to export the data layer object for the component as part of JSON (.model.json)

 

currently the .model.json is not exposing the data layer object.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/content/implementing/developing/components/json-exporter.html?lang=en

 

how can we expose the data layer object as part of JSON exporter for core/custom components?

we're not using overlay of getData as that should return ComponentData. As https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-learn/sites/integrations/adobe-client-data-layer/data-layer-customize.html?lang=en# states we used below snip-

can you please check inbox for the code?


@aem_noob - I am not sure why getDataLayer() method is not being exposed in the sling model but as discussed if use any custom method name such as getCustomData() that is working. For extending getData() you must necessarily return Component Data and not String.

I will try to find the reason for getDataLayer() but meanwhile you can use the below approaches-

  1. Override getData() returning Component Data object.
  2. Use custom method name

Hope this helps!

    @arunpatidar- the data layer is correctly showing the custom attributes which are added by extended the core components, the query was with respect to the component exporter JSON.

      @aem_noob - Can you share the code for the sling model?

      To extend the adobe client data layer, your custom sling model might have a getData method that returns an object that extends ComponentData to return more fields.

          @raja_reddymy  issue is that the component exporter is not exposing the data layer object while the adobe data layer is correctly capturing it
