Plugin

Presets and controllers
This component has a preset configuration that sets properties and event handlers, making it ready for use. You can override preset values with a custom configuration if needed. Preset values won’t upgrade with updates. To avoid using presets, configure manually. One preset can apply to a single component instance. See presets for more info.
A preset is linked to a controller, which serves as a data resource. Controllers provide configuration data and event bindings for the component. Selecting a preset adds the required controller to the page, allowing new components to use its preset. For more on controllers, see controllers. For default presets, see view properties and events in the controller API.
