Initial Setup

To create a new component, we will use the example component as a template.

1. Copy the example component from server/libs/modules/components/example into a new package server/libs/modules/components/newcomponent, where newcomponent is the name of your new component.
2. Update Settings:
   • Open bytechef/settings.gradle.kts.
   • Add the following line to include your new component in the build process:

     include("server:libs:modules:components:newcomponent")

3. Load Gradle Changes:
   • Refresh or reload the Gradle project in IntelliJ IDEA.
   • This step ensures that IntelliJ recognizes your new component as a Java module, allowing you to work with it seamlessly within the IDE.
4. Rename Package and Classes:
   • Inside the newly created package, rename the example subpackage to newcomponent.
   • Additionally, rename all classes within this package that start with Example to start with NewComponent.
