SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires jsdom, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers and architects quickly locate reference implementations, code samples, and integration patterns from two core AEM sources: the Block Collection and Block Party, enabling faster design, evaluation, and decision-making.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reference discovery: Locate vetted, best-practice blocks from Block Collection and community-driven patterns from Block Party.
  • Pattern analysis: Compare implementations, identify design patterns, and reuse approaches for blocks, plugins, and tools.
  • Use Case: When starting a new AEM project, search for example blocks and corresponding sidekick plugins to inform architecture and coding standards.

Quick Start

Search for a term like "accordion" across both Block Collection and Block Party to retrieve reference implementations and usage patterns.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find reference implementations for AEM blocks?

Search both the Block Collection and Block Party to compare reference implementations and usage patterns. This helps you identify design patterns, reuse approaches, and distinguish between default-content and actual block implementations.

What is the difference between the Block Collection and Block Party?

The Block Collection provides vetted, best-practice blocks, while Block Party offers community-driven patterns. Comparing both helps you evaluate implementations and reuse approaches for blocks, plugins, and tools.

Can I compare sidekick plugins and block patterns for AEM development?

Yes, you can compare sidekick plugins and block patterns across official and community resources. This search and metadata parsing distinguishes between default-content and actual block implementations to guide your architecture.

How do I evaluate AEM block design patterns before starting a new project?

Evaluate AEM block design patterns by searching a term like "accordion" across both Block Collection and Block Party. This retrieves live examples and metadata to inform your coding standards and architecture.

Does this AEM pattern search require jsdom to parse live examples?

Yes, the skill uses the jsdom dependency to parse metadata and present live examples. This enables the search and comparison of reference implementations across official and community resources.
