SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates turning an external webpage into a reusable Jahia component by extracting HTML structure and dependencies, generating a CND + view, and guiding the developer through the build process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Converts any web page into a structured Jahia component, producing a ready-to-use CND and view scaffolding.
  • Supports selecting a target section, preserving HTML, attributes, and data-* hooks for predictable integration.
  • Useful for prototyping external UI references or creating production-ready components from existing sites.

Quick Start

Provide a URL to a page and let the skill fetch the page, identify a target section, extract the complete HTML block, and generate a Jahia-ready CND + view scaffold.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert an external webpage into a Jahia component?

To convert an external webpage into a Jahia component, provide a URL and map the target section. The skill extracts the HTML structure and generates a ready-to-use CND and view scaffold for production or prototyping.

What is the process for generating a CND and view from an existing web page?

Generating a CND and view from an existing web page requires a URL input and section mapping. The process extracts the complete HTML block, preserves attributes, defines fields, and scaffolds the CND and view.

Can I preserve HTML attributes and data hooks when importing web components into Jahia?

Yes, you can preserve HTML attributes and data-* hooks when importing web components into Jahia. The extraction process retains these elements to ensure predictable integration within the generated component structure.

Does importing external UI snippets into Jahia require manual dependency management?

Importing external UI snippets into Jahia does not require fully manual dependency management. The skill extracts dependencies from the webpage and includes optional assets and scripts during the scaffolding process.

What's the best way to turn design references into maintainable Jahia views?

The best way to turn design references into maintainable Jahia views is to fetch the reference URL, identify the target section, and let the skill scaffold the CND and view with extracted HTML and dependencies.

What are the limitations of scaffolding Jahia components from external sites?

Scaffolding Jahia components from external sites relies on accurate URL input and section mapping. Complex external pages with deeply nested or dynamic HTML may require manual refinement of the generated CND and view fields.
