Creating a custom Experience Manager 6.4 sling:resourceType for Touch UI

You can create a custom sling resource type that can be used in an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.4 Touch UI component by using a JQuery plug-in. That is, if you want to define a field in a Touch UI component dialog that is not available with the available Granite API, you can define your own custom type.

As an AEM developer working in the Touch UI, it is important to understand how to create a custom sling resource type to be able to define custom fields.  In the AEM community, there has been requests on how to develop a full color spectrum field for a Touch UI component dialog, as shown in this video.
