Custom List component is a flexible content component used to display a collection of items driven by author configuration rather than a fixed content structure. It allows authors to create lists from multiple sources such as manually authored entries, child pages, tags, or search-based results, making it suitable for use cases like article listings, resource libraries, navigation blocks, or promotional content groups. The component typically provides dialog options to choose the list source, define sorting and ordering rules, limit the number of items, and control what fields are displayed (such as title, description, image, date, and CTA). From a technical perspective, the Custom List is usually implemented using HTL with a Sling Model that fetches and prepares the list data, ensuring clean separation of logic and presentation. It supports responsive layouts, accessibility best practices, and optional styling variations, while also integrating with analytics and the AEM data layer for tracking impressions and clicks. Overall, the Custom List component enhances content reusability and authoring efficiency by enabling dynamic, configurable lists without requiring code changes.
