Hi,

I am looking to create dummy resource with a resourceType (text), valuemap properties and not to create any real jcr data/nodes.

In sightly html get the dummy resource using "data-sly-resource" tag and render it.

Thanks for all the help.

Usecase: retrieve content fragments elements and have it as accordion item panel title, child text component.

Thanks,

Sri

Hi @sreenu539 ,

Yes we can use it via Sling. Sling model can be used to define such resource and its appropriate properties and it can be used by HTL for rendering.

Hi @sreenu539 ,

In order to use "data-sly-resource", it requires a physical location of the node.

But you can achieve this in a different way using AemContext api.

for the mentioned use case, why can't you simple get the resource of your content fragment an iterate through the configured properties?
