In the rest of this article, we will be looking at a detailed breakdown of the three core areas of making components usable; The three core areas being Build, Create, Use as outlined below:
- Build:
- We will look two types of components so we can classify all component
- Then we look at all the components and how they are built.
- We look at what is needed to build new components.
- Create: Look at how to create component instances of our different component types.
- Add: We will look at how they can be added to a layout.
In going through this process of auditing and documenting how components can be built; and then how they are used, created and added; we will see that there can be three places to create component instances; on the node edit form, in layout builder, and as a custom block. Because I this, I take time to discuss a possible better solution for this particular application's design, before wrapping thing up with a few thoughts and when you might want to use the node edit form for adding paragraph instances.
