AEM 61 - Classic UI Configure Parsys Components Limit in Design Dialog

Goal

Limit number of components added in a parsys, where the limit is configurable in design dialog

For a different implementation (configure component limit in each page) - check this post

For TouchUI check this post

Demo | Package Install


Parsys Limit - Design Mode



Stored in CRX



Limit Exceeded - Drag and Drop



Limit Exceeded - New menu item disabled

Solution

1) Login to CRXDE Lite, create folder (nt:folder) /apps/classicui-design-configurable-limit-parsys

2) Create clientlib (type cq:ClientLibraryFolder) /apps/classicui-design-configurable-limit-parsys/clientlib and set property categories of String type to cq.widgets and dependencies to underscore

3) Create file ( type nt:file ) /apps/classicui-design-configurable-limit-parsys/clientlib/js.txt, add the following

                         limit-parsys.js

4) Create file ( type nt:file ) /apps/classicui-design-configurable-limit-parsys/clientlib/limit-parsys.js, add the following code

(function(){
    var PARSYS_DESIGN_DIALOG = "/libs/foundation/components/parsys/design_dialog",

    CQ.Ext.onReady(function () {

    });

    function handleDesignMode(){
