What is  Granite UI Coral 3 library 

 The Granite UI Coral 3 library is a part of Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) and provides a set of reusable user interface components based on the Coral 3 framework. The Coral 3 framework is a front-end framework developed by Adobe and is designed to create consistent and accessible user interfaces.

The Granite UI Coral 3 library includes a wide range of UI components such as form fields, buttons, dropdowns, dialogs, tabs, and more. These components are designed to be customizable, responsive, and compliant with accessibility guidelines.

By leveraging the Granite UI Coral 3 library, developers can build AEM components and dialogs with consistent styling and behavior, ensuring a cohesive user experience across different touchpoints within the AEM authoring environment and published websites.

The library provides both server-side and client-side APIs to interact with the components. On the server-side, you define the components using XML or Java code, and on the client-side, you can enhance the components using JavaScript and CSS to add interactivity or customize their appearance.

Overall, the Granite UI Coral 3 library simplifies the development process of AEM components by providing a rich set of ready-to-use UI components, reducing the need for custom CSS and JavaScript, and promoting a standardized and accessible user interface within the AEM ecosystem.

How to use  Granite UI Coral 3 library 


  1. Include the Granite UI Coral 3 dependency in your project:

    • For Maven-based projects, you can add the following dependency to your pom.xml file:

<dependency>

    <groupId>org.apache.sling</groupId>

    <artifactId>org.apache.sling.models.api</artifactId>

    <version>1.3.8</version>

</dependency>

    • For non-Maven projects, you can manually download the Granite UI Coral 3 library and include it in your project's classpath.

2. Define Granite UI components in your AEM dialogs and components:

    • In your dialog XML files, you can use the granite/ui/components resource type to create various Coral 3 components. For example:

<textfield

    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

    sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/textfield"

    name="./myTextField"

    fieldLabel="Text Field"

    value=""/>

    • In your AEM components, you can use the Coral Java classes to create Coral 3 components programmatically. For example:

        CoralColumn column = new CoralColumn();

        column.setSize(CoralColumn.Size.SMALL_12);

        column.add(new CoralText("This is a Coral text component."));

Note: The specific usage of components may vary depending on the specific requirements of your project.

3. Apply styling and customization:

The Granite UI Coral 3 library provides default styles for the components. You can customize the appearance and behavior of the components using CSS and JavaScript as needed. For example, you can add your own CSS classes or override default styles in your project's CSS files.

4. Deploy and test your project:

Build and deploy your AEM project to see the Granite UI Coral 3 components in action. You can create content using the AEM authoring environment and verify that the components render correctly and function as expected.

By following these steps, you can effectively use the Granite UI Coral 3 library to create consistent and visually appealing user interfaces within your AEM project, ensuring a seamless authoring and user experience.

Debugging Javascript Memory Leaks

-
     Let’s dive into debugging memory leaks step-by-step using tools like Chrome DevTools  and best practices for Angular. We’ll focus on identifying and fixing issues effectively. 1. Understanding the Tools Browser DevTools: Performance Tab : Monitor memory usage over time. Memory Tab : Analyze heap snapshots and memory retention. Console : Observe memory usage using the window.performance.memory object (not in all browsers). Augury Extension : Provides Angular-specific insights such as component hierarchies and bindings. Can highlight improper use of change detection or subscriptions. RxJS Spy : Helps track Observables and their subscriptions in real time. 2. Step-by-Step Debugging Step 1: Record Memory Usage Use the Performance Tab in Chrome DevTools: Open DevTools ( Ctrl + Shift + I or F12 ). Go to the Performance tab. Click Record and interact with your application (e.g., navigate between components). Stop recording and review: Look for steady memory incre...

Memory Leaks in Javascripts

-
     A memory leak occurs when an application consumes memory that it no longer needs but fails to release. Over time, this unneeded memory builds up, reducing the available memory for the application or other processes. This can lead to performance degradation, crashes, or application instability. In the context of Angular (or any JavaScript application), memory leaks often happen when objects or references remain in memory longer than necessary because: The garbage collector cannot reclaim them. They are inadvertently kept alive by event listeners , subscriptions , or references . How Memory Management Works in JavaScript JavaScript uses automatic garbage collection : When an object or value is no longer reachable, it is eligible for garbage collection. The garbage collector identifies and removes these unreachable objects to free up memory. However, if objects are still referenced (even unintentionally), the garbage collector cannot reclaim them, causing a memory le...

Apache Jackrabbit FileVault (VLT)

-
  Apache Jackrabbit FileVault (commonly known as VLT) is a content synchronization tool and file system-based content repository management system for Apache Jackrabbit and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) . It enables developers to work with JCR (Java Content Repository) content as regular files and folders on the local file system, facilitating version control, content packaging, and easy deployment of repository content. Key Features of FileVault File System View of JCR Content FileVault provides a way to map the content repository (JCR nodes and properties) into a local file system structure. Developers can view and manage JCR content using standard file system tools like text editors, IDEs, and version control systems (e.g., Git). Content Packaging It allows creating content packages (ZIP files) that can be deployed to other AEM instances. These packages can include: JCR content (e.g., pages, components, templates). OSGi configurations. Code (Java, client-side libraries). Vers...
