Abstract

How to create a custom, complex render condition using HTL and Java Sling Models instead of JSPs for AEM TouchUI

What is a Granite render condition?
“Render condition” is a fairly self-explanatory term. More specifically, according to Granite documentation, it is “a mechanic to indicate if the component should be rendered or not”.
So how does it work? You can find an example that you’ll probably recognize if you’ve ever used Assets (although there are hundreds of others): you cannot perform the same actions on an original asset as on a live copy.

Note: for this tutorial I am using Editable templates.
