is there a way to publish a UI Builder component WITH custom functions and perhaps WITH an extension (LESS) to go along with it?
A Custom component must be complete and self-sufficient, it means the component must contain all need code/styles/etc.
Besides, it contains styles.less file where you can specify styles and actions which can contain logic for working exactly with the component.
Hi Vlad, thanks for the info… for custom components (React based), I got it. But is it possible to publish a component that involves a codeless custom function and an extension? Basically, something that can be made using just UI Builder and codeless blocks, plus a style extension (so everything without having to build a .js file)? This might be more useful for people because they could customize things without really having to know React programming…
I see,
At this moment there is no way to attach styles/functions/images/etc into a reusable component product.
However we are going to implement it in the future, each reusable component/page will have the ability to contain its own assets (functions/styles/images/fonts/etc) and then it will be possible to publish it to the marketplace with all its assets
Ah nice to hear! That would be a great way for people to share “solutions” and various things they have built with Backendless. In the meantime, maybe the support tickets can be used for people to publish little “tutorials”? You could create a new category in the tickets… or, what about your blog (Blog | Backendless Visual App Development Platform) — do you accept guest author submissions?
Hi Alex, I’m the head of marketing and run the Backendless blog. If you build a solution for the Marketplace and would like to share about it on our blog, we would certainly be open to that. The writeup would need to be thorough (plenty of screenshots), well-written, and provide value to a potential user of the component. In that case, we’d be happy to publish it to the blog and may even include it in a future email newsletter.

not sure how to publish a “custom component”… probably involves Github? Is there a blog or help article about this somewhere?
