UI Components look like a maze of XML. They follow one pattern.

You are confident in Magento's backend, and then a UI Component ticket lands on your desk. Observables, computed values, and a data source that renders from XML you have never seen before.

UI Components are Magento's framework for building grids, forms, and dynamic checkout blocks entirely from configuration and JavaScript. The XML declares the structure, Knockout.js drives the reactivity, and the two only make sense once you can see how a data source hands values to a component and back.


This course rebuilds that layer from a single component up.

The XML declaration first, then a data source, then a custom component with its own template and view model. Each lesson ends with a UI Component you can load and interact with.

This is step one of advanced development. When you finish, Customize the Magento 2 Checkout is next, because the checkout is built entirely from UI Components. It is also included in the University.

You leave able to open any UI Component in Magento and know where every piece of it comes from.
