You can create an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) multi-field component that supports a rich text editor and lets an AEM author drag images from the Content Finder and drop them into the component. In addition, you can define a custom xtype and use it in the component. The custom xtype is rendered in the component’s dialog and lets an AEM author enter values into its controls during design time.
The AEM component developed in this development article is used by the CQ parsys system and is placed onto the AEM sidekick. An AEM author can drag the component from the CQ sidekick onto an AEM page during design time.
