Custom dialog component

Question

Hi,I've seen that is possible to edit the dialogs through the dialog Editor in AEM. How can I make my own componentes for the dialog? Is that possible?For example to make a color picker,  or a datepicker,  etc... Thank you!

You use CRXDE lite and add JCR nodes and props to build dialogs. See these AEM community articles to learn how to build a dialog:

and of course - you can build a custom xtype - which is a skill that you need as an AEM Component developer. A custom xtype is built with JS and AEM widget classes. See:

"How can I make my own componentes for the dialog"

Not sure what you mean by can i create a component for a dialog. Do you mean how to I build a dialog for my components?

When you build or modify dialogs that correspond to your AEM components- you typically modify nodes in the CRXDE lite. You can build a dialog to include date pickers and all the supported types. If you are not familiar with building a dialog for a component - see https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-touchui-component.html.
