Building Blocks

To create an AEM Edge Delivery block, you need to scaffold a directory under blocks/{block-name}/ and add corresponding {block-name}.js and {block-name}.css files. This establishes the standardized file structure required for implementing block decoration and styling.

JavaScript decoration transforms authored content into interactive experiences within AEM Edge blocks. You implement this logic in the block's .js file to manipulate the DOM structure based on the defined content models and project guidelines.

The standard file structure for AEM Edge Delivery blocks requires a dedicated directory named blocks/{block-name}/ containing both a {block-name}.js file for decoration logic and a {block-name}.css file for styling.

Yes, frontmatter-driven metadata is enforced during AEM Edge block creation to ensure proper content model alignment. This approach standardizes how configuration and content attributes are applied across different blocks.

The best way to apply CSS styling to AEM Edge blocks is by using scoped CSS within the {block-name}.css file. This ensures styles adhere to project design tokens and responsive guidelines without affecting other page elements.

Code quality and testing validation are required for AEM Edge blocks to ensure decoration logic and content models function correctly. Adhering to project guidelines prevents runtime errors and maintains structural consistency across the delivery pipeline.
