Using editables
As we introduced in Chapter 4, Creating Documents in Pimcore, Pimcore's editables are a set of visual components that can be used to enter information in the CMS page and are able to render the output to get the web page ready. You should remember the pimcore_input and pimcore_wysiwyg components; well, the good news is that Pimcore has a lot of components like that and covers most of your user needs. In this section, we will take a look at these.
Important note
In the Editables list, we should have Area and Areablock components, but we won't discuss these in this chapter. These elements, in conjunction with Bricks, are the pillars of code reuse in Pimcore and will be covered in Chapter 10, Creating Pimcore Bricks. The motivation is that without discovering what bricks are, the Area, Areablock, and Block components would be hard to understand.
In the next sections, we will discover a list of the editables available. For each one, we will add a snippet...
