Component Config Children

Overview

Directives Property

The directives property contains various properties that indicates to the platform how the component should be handled. For instance, if you want to prevent a user from being able to delete a component, you can add the deletable property to the directives object and set it to false.

A sample directives property in the config. Some directives are accomplished through the presence of the component lifecycle methods. For instance, there is no need to have a selectable directive since a component is only selectable if the $select method is present on the component. However, it is necessary to have a deletable directive even though there is a $remove method on the component, because the $remove method is required even if the user is not allowed to delete the component themselves. (for instance, if the component is in a container that can be deleted or is being reloaded for some reason, the $remove method is needed.)
