Abstract

As you already know keeping the business logic separate from the view is the best practice which AEM suggests. In this post, we are going to discuss on the VIEW part which is HTML Template Language (HTL Formerly Known As Sightly).

Checking the mode in HTL: Below command checks if the mode = edit, if true shows the p tag.

This is EDIT Mode

Accessing Model values via Model object: The modelValue will generally be the dialog value authored.

${item.name}

Note: List needs a container [here the

tag] element and Repeat does not need it
