AEM: How to use nested Multifields in your components (using a Sling model vs pure HTL) by Theo Pendle

Abstract

How to extract the values from a TouchUI nested Multifield using HTL or a model, and a comparison of both solutions

Adobe has a helpful tutorial on using a Multifield in a component. This tutorial is good to get the basics but it has two flaws. Firstly, it does not cover nested Multifields and secondly it is actually a bit wrong as it uses a hybrid HTL/Sling Model solution.

1. Using a java Sling Model
2. Using pure HTL (no model at all)

I will create my component under /apps/demo/components/content/demo. For now let’s just give it a very simple demo.html file:
