Components can be customized by you, using Iguana’s Translator development environment.
Components can be stored in Git Collections to group components together in a single repository. You can create Git Collections or use Iguana’s built-in Collections to leverage existing components to adapt to build your interfaces:
Components leverage Libraries as a mechanism to share code across multiple components. Speed up your integration development by using libraries to store common logic. You can create your own or import built in libraries:
