Container extensibility

A Container is an HTML element that contains 0 or more ContainerChild components. It acts as the target for magento-loader-layout operations.

Creating a Container

To create a Container in a React component, add a data-mid prop to any DOM element, such as a div, span, etc. The value of the data-mid prop must be a literal string value. It cannot be a dynamic value or a variable reference.

Example:

<div data-mid="containerId"/>

Note: Composite components, such as a class or function, cannot be used as a Container.

Extending a Container

ContainerChild components are the only allowed children of a Container. This makes it possible to extend a Container using the magento-loader-layout tool from the PWA Buildpack.

magento-loader-layout supports the following operations:

• Remove a container
• Remove a child component in a container
• Insert content before a child component in a container
• Insert content after a child component in a container
