Customizing the childreneditor for custom components

Question

Hi Everyone, can you provide me the steps to customize the childreneditor for custom components?

I followed the approach from accordion and carousel to do repeat in my component, but I am facing following issue -

org.apache.sling.api.resource.PersistenceException: Unable to commit changes to session.

Steps i followed -

Made my component as cq:isContainer
copied items tab from carousel to my custome component
- core/wcm/components/commons/editor/dialog/childreneditor/v1/childreneditor
copied cq:editConfig from Accordion with listeners
included panelcontainer.js from accordion
include below code for adding components

<sly data-sly-resource="${resource.path @ resourceType='wcm/foundation/components/parsys/newpar', appendPath='/*', decorationTagName='div', cssClassName='new section aem-Grid-newComponent'}"
     data-sly-test="${(wcmmode.edit || wcmmode.preview)}"></sly>

FYI - I don't want to use the Accordion, Carousel or tab as my sling:resourceSuperType

You can use child editor for custom components similar to the core components.

I did it before for custom navigation component but unfortunately I don't have the complete package.

Editorhook.js

(function(channel) {
    "use strict";

    channel.on("cq-editor-loaded", function(event) {
        if (window.CQ && window.CQ.CoreComponents && window.CQ.CoreComponents.panelcontainer &&
            window.CQ.CoreComponents.panelcontainer.v1 && window.CQ.CoreComponents.panelcontainer.v1.registry) {
            window.CQ.CoreComponents.panelcontainer.v1.registry.register({
                name: "cmp-navigation",
                selector: ".cmp-navigation",
                itemSelector: "[data-cmp-hook-navigation='navpanel']",
                itemActiveSelector: ".cmp-navigation__navigation-item.is-active"
            });
        }
    });

})(jQuery(document));

extraclientlibs for navigation component dialog

(function($, $document) {
    "use strict";
    $(document).ready(function() {
        const NAV_SELECTOR = '.cmp-panelselector.is-open .cmp-panelselector__table tr';
        const NAVIGATIOIN_ITEM_TITLE = 'Navigation Item';
        const NOT_ACTIVE_NAVITEM_CLASS='navItemEditNotActiveItem';
        const NAV_Not_ACTIVE_ITEM_SELECTOR ='.'+ NOT_ACTIVE_NAVITEM_CLASS;
        const NOT_ACTIVE_ITEM_CLASS = 'notActiveItem';
        const ITEM_ACTIVE_CLASS = 'is-active';
        const CONTENT_IFRAME_SELECTOR ='#ContentFrame';


        $(document).on('click', NAV_SELECTOR, function() {
            var $this = $(this);
            var item = $this.data('id');
            var navItemSelector = '.cq-Overlay.cq-Overlay--component.cq-Overlay--container.cq-draggable.cq-droptarget.is-selected.is-active div.cq-droptarget[data-path="' + item + '"]';
            var $navItem = $(navItemSelector);
            if ($navItem.attr('title') == NAVIGATIOIN_ITEM_TITLE) {
                $(NAV_Not_ACTIVE_ITEM_SELECTOR).find('div').removeClass(NOT_ACTIVE_ITEM_CLASS);
                $($navItem).siblings().addClass(NOT_ACTIVE_NAVITEM_CLASS);
                $navItem.removeClass(NOT_ACTIVE_NAVITEM_CLASS);
                $(NAV_Not_ACTIVE_ITEM_SELECTOR).find('div').addClass(NOT_ACTIVE_ITEM_CLASS);
                var contentItem = $this.data('name');
                if (typeof contentItem !== 'undefined' || contentItem !== null) {
                    contentItem = contentItem.replace('_', '');
                    var contentItemSelector = '.cmp-navigation_author .cmp-navigation__navigation--item[data-nav-item="' + contentItem + '"]';
                    $(CONTENT_IFRAME_SELECTOR).contents().find('.cmp-navigation_author .cmp-navigation__navigation--item').removeClass(ITEM_ACTIVE_CLASS);
                    $(CONTENT_IFRAME_SELECTOR).contents().find(contentItemSelector).addClass(ITEM_ACTIVE_CLASS);
                }
            }
        })
    });
})($, $(document));

<div class="cmp-navigation__navigation--item" data-cmp-hook-navigation="navpanel" data-nav-item="item${linkList.index}">
            <sly data-sly-resource="${resourcePath @ resourceType='myapp/components/structure/header/navigation/navigation-item'}"/>
        </div>
