In this post, I’ll cover different examples of what I like to call templating. Doing the same over and over again, but only few parts change each iteration. Environment Variables While working on integrating an API, I had to authenticate with a Bearer token in the authentication header. These tokens are typically short-lived, so they change multiple times a day. As part of the integration, I write down the API calls in Typora, a very nice markdown editor....
When working with AEM, you’re confronted with tedious work - writing components with dialogs defined in XML, lots of boiler-plating. Ideal for automation!

It’s very easy to define generator (eg. generate an AEM component) using templates (renderscript, dialog, ….) I’ve put things together in the AEM Generator Repo....

And since my UX/UI skills are very limited, I really enjoy working with angular material, a really nice library of common widgets implemented as Angular components using the material design. I found myself doing the same thing over and over again: generate a table component, using the material table schematic create a service with Angular CLI connecting to a SpringBoot backend to retrieve objects, using the typical CRUD methods (getAll, save, delete, …) create an interface matching the json obtained from the backend Then I suddenly realized:...

I’m talking about fusion by Oracle. It has a horrible interface - even entering a single digit is annoying. On top of that, it was an exotic, buggy, beta version - no one wanted to touch it , including Oracle....
