The Entando Components project provides functionality of specific software elements called Components (or extensions).

entando-components can add functionality to the Entando engine, admin-console and portal-ui (Apps components), or extend the functionality of the Entando engine, and admin-console (Plugins components), or extend the functionality of the portal-ui (Bundles components).

The Entando Components are:

• Apps are components which extend functionality of engine, admin-console and portal-ui core components. Apps are composed of business logic, and one or more views.

• Plugins are components which extend functionality of engine, and admin-console core components.

• UI Bundles are components which contain the application part and a view service. They are web solutions which extend functionality of portal-ui core component and/or views’ functionality of the other Entando components.

A Plugin and one or more Bundles build an App.

The Open Source components are available under a MIT license.

Apps, Plugins, and Bundles components, right now available, are listed in the following Tables.
