What’s a Component?

---

Each page of a Svija site is composed of one or more SVG files.

In addition to the main page content, additional content can be added, shared by multiple pages:

• menus
• footers
• banners
• alerts
• temporary content (promotions, sales etc.)

This content can be included via the use of components (previously called modules).

A component is essentially a tiny reusable page.

Managing Components: Content and Behavior

The content and behavior of components is managed in:

• Cloud › Components

Each component is listed along with its content and extra scripts:

• SVG file
• HTML
• CSS
• Javascript

Managing Components: Display

There are two ways to manage component display:

1. component settings: logically, each component is meant for:

• a language
• a platform (desktop or mobile)

Components are principally managed in the their settings (Cloud › Components).

On the settings page for each component, it is possible to specify the appropriate screen and language, and whether the component should be shown by default.

2. the page: sometimes more granular control over component display is needed.

In the settings for each page, it is possible to:

• add specific components to the page
• suppress any default components that would appear with the page
