Using Embed

[Shaheena_Sk]

I want to explore Embed component for a requirement but my local AEM 6.5 instance is having core component package version 2.3.2. And while editing a page i am not able to find embed component to be dragged and dropped. How can i get Embed in my list of components to be used?

Hi @Shaheena_Sk,

Embed component is introduced in Core components version 2.7.0

• https://github.com/adobe/aem-core-wcm-components/releases/tag/core.wcm.components.reactor-2.7.0

Please install the same -> create proxy component in your project base inheriting from core Embed component(with project specific component group) -> author in site pages.

do i need to deploy this package via maven? because i already tried installing this package directly into package manager and got stuck

Hi @Shaheena_Sk,

Looks like direct apps package is not available from the releases link for 2.7.0

You can make use of version starting 2.9.0 which has explicit apps and content package which should work installing directly via package manager.

If you are looking for installing via Maven, try creating project via AEM Maven project archetype which has core components included in it by default. You can take this as a reference and amend your project code base accordingly to include via Maven build.
