Salesforce B2C Commerce Forms Components
When using B2C Commerce forms, you work with the following key components:
| Component | Use this to... |
|---|---|
| Business Objects | Access data dynamically, as opposed to using hard-coded data. |
| Form Definition | Define form elements, actions and data validation. |
| Template | Render in-memory form instance data on a browser, and process actions |
| Script | Process in-memory form instance data, for example, save it to a database. |
| Resource File | Define locale-specific browser messages. |
| Form Pipelets | Clear, create or extract an in-memory form instance as defined by form definitions. |
| Interaction Continue Nodes | Call a template that renders in-memory form data on a browser, and pass processing to named actions. |
| Interaction node | Call a template that accesses an in-memory form instance. |
| Transitions | Move processing to the next step upon the execution of a named form action in a pipeline |
When you have added/modified these components to include your customized forms, you must integrate your changes into the existing application. For example, if you create a new subpipeline, you need to modify an existing template (by adding a new link) to call it.
See Form Components Working Together or the Forms Tutorial, or details on how to do this.
