Create & Access the content fragment programmatically

Programmatic creation, access, modification of Content Fragment

To create a content fragment, we need ‘create’ API reference from ‘com.adobe.cq.dam.cfm.

ContentFragmentManager’.

Once we have the import, use below code to create a content fragment programmatically.

//reference the Content Fragment Manager
@Reference
private ContentFragmentManager fragmentManager;

private void myCreateFun() {
/** fragmentManager.create helps to create a content fragment
parent – The location where the content fragment should be created (for eg. “/content/dam/fragments”)
template – the content fragment template to refer while creating the new fragment
my-test-fragment – name of the fragment
My Test Fragment – title of the fragment **/

ContentFragment myFragment = fragmentManager.create(parent, template, “my-test-fragment”, “My Test Fragment”);

}

Programmatically accessing a content fragment

We need ‘com.adobe.cq.dam.cfm.ContentFragment’ API reference to access a content fragment

//Get the resource of content fragment as below.
Resource fragmentResource = resourceResolver.getResource(“/content/dam/fragments/my-test-fragment”);

//Adapt it to a fragment resource
if (fragmentResource != null) {
ContentFragment fragment = fragmentResource.adaptTo(ContentFragment.class);
// the resource is now accessible through the API
}

Programmatically accessing elements from Content Fragment

Iterator<ContentElement> elements = fragment.getElements();
while (elements.hasNext()){
ContentElement element = elements.next();
//your action on element
}

Programmatically Accessing Content Fragment metadata:

Map<String, Object> getMetaData();

Programmatically Accessing Content Fragment variations:

Iterator<ContentVariation> variations = element.getVariations();

while(variations.hasNext()){
ContentVariations variation = variations.next();
//do the variation process here
}

Programmatically Accessing  Content Fragment elements/variations by its name

ContentElement title = fragment.getElement(“title”);
ContentVariation mobileAppVariation = title.getVariation(“mobile-app”);

Programmatically Accessing Content:

String content = element.getContent();
String contentType = element.getContentType();

Programmatically Modifying Content Fragment content
element.setContent(“Content”, “text/plain”)

Programmatically Modifying Content Fragment metadata
void setMetaData(String name, Object value) throws ContentFragmetException
