Want an interactive way to learn about components? Check out the DXP Component Library for best practice examples.

This tutorial guides you through deploying a component to Squiz DXP and using it .

Complete each step before going on to the next.

The server-side component creation tutorial covers the creation, configuring, and deployment of server components.

They do not cover the creation, configuring and deployment of Components at Edge.

Components at Edge are a Squiz DXP Component Service runtime implementation. They are the preferred approach to component development going forward.

A tutorial that covers the creation, configuring, and deployment of a basic Component at Edge is available as the Create a component tutorial.

Some tasks must be performed before you start to use Component Service. Read Prerequisites in the Getting started page to make sure you are ready to go.

If you have not yet built a component, you can follow Build and test your first component to have a deployable component.
