how to embed navigation core component inside HTL/sightly

[srikanth77921]

Hi I have requirement where I wanted to use aem navigation(available across all templates) core component inside my project but dont want to expose in model.json.

Currently If I placed this template root level under jcr:content, this component still acts like a normal component and exposed in model.json.

But I dont want to expose I have one HTL in our project which is commonly used across all templates. I wanted to place directly inside this HTL like embed/hardcoded component.

May I know how can I do this ? I have tried below syntax didn't work. looks like some required properties are missing for nav to display.

<sly data-sly-resource="${resource @ resourceType='core/wcm/components/navigation/v1/navigation'}"></sly>

could someone guide me how we achieve this ?

Hi,

You can proxy the navigation component. and use sling delegation to extend the interface and remove the @Exporter
