Project Design Structure

Avatar

Level 3

What could be the best project design that's need to be followed while working in AEM ? Do we have any proper document available on this ?

As i have a requirement of new project and below are my doubts:

-- We should have page-component and template for each and every page, even if header and footer is common ?

-- When should we create new page-component and page template ?   

-- What to do when only body design is different of pages ? and rest other part is same ?

-- Can we include component level clientlibs in component jsp's directly ?

I have a confusion as Geometrix project is having page-component and template for each and every page. :(

Please guide me on this.

When creating an AEM project- start by building a project using AEM Archetype 10 project:

You will see a lot of default files that you can look at. The article explains most of them. 

As you get deeper into AEM development  - i recommend you watch various AEM Ask the Experts sessions too: You can find them here:

Also - you can refer to the listing of our AEM Community articles:

All of your requirements are implemented in geometrixx site. You can review why & how to create templates & components. Also, you could explore how to override only body of the template and header, footer inherits from some common template.

Hi,

all your questions would be answered by taking the classroom based Adobe AEM training. You can also use various sites to understand how AEM projects are structured and understand some of the basics[0][1].
