Overlay OOTB AEM – Table component using Sightly

[patK-ze1xYs]

                I want to create an overlay version of OOTB AEM – Table component (/libs/foundation/components/table) for my project.     Is there a reference I can use on how to overlay the version in the slightly code and not in JSP.   Thanks

You would overlay the same way - there is no difference from JSP other than you are using Sightly code. 

Move to /apps and change the Sightly code.

We have a lot of articles on using Sightly. See this reference:

See the beginning of this article. You will see links to other Sightly content and Ask the AEM Community Expert sessions on Sightly. 

Hope this helps.

Hi

As mentioned by Scott, Overlay is same process all around.

Documentation link:- https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/platform/overlays.html

Method

• Reconstruct the appropriate /libs structure under /apps
  This does not require a 1:1 copy, the Sling Resource Merger is used to cross-reference the original definitions that are required.
• Make any changes under /apps

You just need to change the Sightly as per you need.

Sightly Specification :- https://github.com/Adobe-Marketing-Cloud/sightly-spec

I hope this would help you.

Thanks and Regards
