Real AEM Projects coding

Hi all,

 

For AEM front end coding, I see the predominant use of CRXDE and for back end IntelliJ or Eclipse.

Also, we start with an AEM Archetype.

 

1.In Real AEM Projects also do we start coding with AEM Archetype only?

I understand AEM Archetype is a very good starting point for coding, as it complies good coding standards.

But AEM Archetype has many components, etc. that we may not need.

 

2. In case I want to avoid AEM Archetype, what is way out?

 

Appreciate all your replies.

 

Thanks,

RK.

Hi @nsvsrk ,

 

The AEM Archetype is widely used in real projects because it offers a strong structure and good coding practices. However, you can remove any unnecessary components after generating the project or customize it to fit your needs.

If you prefer not to use the archetype, you can manually create the project by setting up the required folder structure, configurations, and dependencies. While this requires more effort, it gives you complete control over the setup.

Thanks.
