Components
Components allow you to insert dynamic content and logic into your document templates.
They are evaluated during document generation and replaced with real data.
What are Components
Components are the building blocks of a template.
They let you:
- display data (text, numbers, images)
- control visibility (conditions)
- repeat content (lists, tables)
- apply logic directly in the document
Where to find Components
Most components are available directly in the editor toolbar.
To insert a component:
- Place the cursor where you want the component
- Click the corresponding icon in the toolbar
- Configure it and confirm
The component will be inserted at the cursor position.
Available components
Common components include:
- Text Box — display dynamic values
- Block Repetition — repeat content for arrays
- Block Condition — control visibility
- Dynamic Image — insert images from data
- Dynamic Checkbox — display boolean values
- Dynamic Link — generate clickable links
- Dynamic Color — apply styles dynamically
Components vs Form Components
There are two types of components in Eledo:
- Components — evaluated during document generation
- Form Components — filled in by the end user after generation
Use Components when your data comes from your system.
Use Form Components when input is expected from the document recipient.
