Adding Component From Code

As a best practice, Smartface recommends using the WYSIWYG editor in order to add components and styles to your page or library. To learn how to use UI Editor better, please refer to this documentation

import { styleableComponentMixin } from "@smartface/styling-context";

//You should create new Page from UI-Editor and extend with it.
