Add component

    You can add a component in Altinn Studio Designer by dragging it from the list of components to the page area. Selecting the component brings up its configuration panel.

    Basic component:

    App/ui/layouts/{page}.json
    {
  "$schema": "https://altinncdn.no/toolkits/altinn-app-frontend/4/schemas/json/layout/layout.schema.v1.json",
  {
    "data": {
      "layout": [
        {
          // Basic component (required properties)
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
