# No-Code Components

No-Code Component is the main building block of Easyblocks. Each selectable element added to the editor canvas is an instance of a No-Code Component.

Each No-Code Component consists of 2 parts:

* React Component - a standard React component
* No-Code Component Definition - an object that defines visual editing capabilities of the component

Here's an example of a simple `SimpleBanner` No-Code Component (you can find it in our [example page builder demo](https://github.com/easyblockshq/page-builder-demo/blob/main/src/app/easyblocks/components/SimpleBanner/SimpleBanner.definition.ts)):

<pre class="language-tsx"><code class="lang-tsx">// No-Code Component Definition

import { NoCodeComponentDefinition } from "@easyblocks/core";

<strong>export const simpleBannerDefinition: NoCodeComponentDefinition = {
</strong>  id: "SimpleBanner",
  label: "SimpleBanner",
  type: "section",
  schema: [
    {
      prop: "backgroundColor",
      label: "Background Color",
      type: "color"
    },
    {
      prop: "hasBorder",
      label: "Has Border?",
      type: "boolean",
      responsive: true
    },
    {
      prop: "padding",
      label: "Pading",
      type: "space"
    },
    {
      prop: "gap",
      label: "Gap",
      type: "space"
    },
    {
      prop: "buttonsGap",
      label: "Buttons gap",
      type: "space"
    },
    {
      prop: "Title",
      type: "component",
      required: true,
      accepts: ["@easyblocks/text"]
    },
    {
      prop: "Buttons",
      type: "component-collection",
      accepts: ["Button"],
      placeholderAppearance: {
        height: 36,
        width: 100,
        label: "Add button" 
      }
    }
  ],
  styles: ({ values }) => {
    return {
      styled: {
        Root: {
          backgroundColor: values.backgroundColor,
          border: values.hasBorder ? "2px solid black" : "none",
          padding: values.padding
        },
        Wrapper: {
          maxWidth: 600,
          display: "flex",
          flexDirection: "column",
          gap: values.gap
        },
        ButtonsWrapper: {
          display: "flex",
          flexDirection: "row",
          flexWrap: "wrap",
          gap: values.buttonsGap
        }
      }
    }
  },
  editing: ({ values, editingInfo}) => {
    return {
      components: {
        Buttons: values.Buttons.map(() => ({
          direction: "horizontal",
        })),
        Title: {
          fields: [
            {
              ...editingInfo.fields.find(field => field.path === "gap")!,
              label: "Bottom gap"
            }
          ]
        }
      },
    };
  },
};

// Component code

import { ReactElement } from "react";

type SimpleBannerProps = {
  Root: ReactElement;
  Title: ReactElement;
  Wrapper: ReactElement;
  Buttons: ReactElement[];
  ButtonsWrapper: ReactElement
}

export function SimpleBanner(props: SimpleBannerProps) {
  const { Root, Title, Wrapper, Buttons, ButtonsWrapper } = props;

  return (
    &#x3C;Root.type {...Root.props}>
      &#x3C;Wrapper.type {...Wrapper.props}>
        &#x3C;Title.type {...Title.props} />
        &#x3C;ButtonsWrapper.type {...ButtonsWrapper.props}>
          {Buttons.map((Button, index) => &#x3C;Button.type {...Button.props} key={index} />)}
        &#x3C;/ButtonsWrapper.type>
      &#x3C;/Wrapper.type>
    &#x3C;/Root.type>
  )
}
</code></pre>

In order to use this component two things must happen. First, you must add the definition to the [Config.components](/essentials/configuration.md#components) property:

```typescript
// easyblocks.config.ts

export const easyblocksConfig = {
  components: {
    // ...other component definitions,
    simpleSectionDefinition,
  },
};
```

The component instance must be passed to the `components` property of the [`EasyblocksEditor`](/essentials/editor-page.md):

```tsx
<EasyblocksEditor
  config={easyblocksConfig}
  components={{ ...otherComponents, SimpleSection }}
/>
```

Now the component can be used.

Each No-Code Component must have a unique `id`. You can optionally add a `label` and `thumbnail` to display the component nicely in the UI.

Apart from those basic properties, the most important ones are `schema`, `styles` and `editing`. We'll explain them in the next sections.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.easyblocks.io/essentials/no-code-components.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
