Hey Team!

Matt Sones, back again. ;)

 

We’re developing a custom component that requires a models on two different REST data sources. It looks like those dynamic models will not work unless there’s a dummy model on the same data source created declaratively on each page that uses the custom component.

This seems like a similar issue surfaced years ago here: 

And the only option was declarative dummy models.

 

We’re currently running the latest of version 15 with V1 components.

Hey Matt!

 

For now, I would say that your best bet is still to have dummy models on the pages that use the custom component. Using dummy models ensures that the component won’t break later when we change how datasources are loaded into the page.

 

Best,
Matt


@matt.davis Any idea when this problem might be solved? 

Is there something I can do in the javascript to load the data sources? The whole reason for a component is to make the page setup a lot simpler.

If we had the dummy models on a parent page would that accomplish the same thing? Then we wouldn’t have to edit every page that used our custom component?
