Developing new components using the Component Kit framework includes:
-
Creating a project using the starter or the Talend IntelliJ plugin. This step allows to build the skeleton of the project. It consists in:
-
Defining the general configuration model for each component in your project.
-
Generating and downloading the project archive from the starter.
-
Compiling the project.
-
-
Importing the compiled project in your IDE. This step is not required if you have generated the project using the IntelliJ plugin.
-
Implementing the components, including:
-
Registering the components by specifying their metadata: family, categories, version, icon, type and name.
-
Defining the layout and configurable part of the components.
-
Defining the execution logic of the components, also called runtime.
-
-
Deploying the components to Talend Studio or Cloud applications.
Optionally, you can use services. Services are predefined or user-defined configurations that can be reused in several components.
