Integrations with the Adobe Client Data Layer integrations

The Adobe Client Data Layer reduces the effort to instrument websites by providing a standardized method to expose and access any kind of data for any script.

The Adobe Client Data Layer can integrate with your custom components and integrations with Adobe Analytics and Adobe Target can help you gain insights into your website.

Enabling the Data Layer for Custom Components enabling-custom-components

To automatically add a custom component to the Data Layer:

  1. Define the properties of the custom component model that needs to be tracked.
  2. Add the data-cmp-data-layer attribute to the custom component HTL. E.g. data-cmp-data-layer="${mycomponent.data.json}".

To automatically make the Data Layer trigger a cmp:click event each time a specific element of the custom component is clicked, add the data-cmp-clickable attribute to the element to be tracked in the custom component HTL.

The data-cmp-data-layer-enabled attribute can be queried client-side to check if the data layer is enabled.
