Is it possible to customize the content fragment input UI in AEM?

Hi Team, I would want to customize a JSON editor to a custom UI input component. I want to have a custom UI to facilitate adding json data (in form of tables). I have written the same component in React and wanted to know if we can actually customize or extend JSON editor UI to improve user experience?

Above is the screenshot what I want to show to the content authors to input JSON data.

 

Current JSON input of AEM looks like this:

Hi @spidey1405 ,

Yes that it possible by implementing/registering widget through Javascript/Jsp Script. One good example you may have a look at here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_paM5naWpg

Hope that helps!

Regards,

Santosh

    Hi Santosh, thanks for your response. So the widgets can only be created using jsps right? Also if we want to load this to AEM we need to do `mvn clean install -PautoInstallSinglePackage` right? And would this then automatically appear in my content fragment models? I don't see any details for those.

     

    Additionally when I clone the repository and try to deploy this to my local aem instance, I get this:
