The Joonla! article title is a text field type; the alias is also a text field type. The editor block is a text editor field. There are others like list, radio, tag, text, date, user, text-area, label. You will see JCB has placed all these in the component for you. You can make use of each of these different types by applying one to a field. All fields live in views which is an important concept to understand. Now, you might not think that a list view has fields and you are partly right. It does do more than just display these fields. Let's create a test article here to show what we mean.
### Joomla! Articles List and Article Edit Views
After adding some content, save and close the article so we at least have a list item. That is also a field and if you click on search all those options are fields. So, your list has certain fields which are only available in the list view. This is also the place where we do most of our features for multiple items where opening one item does what's only required for one item. There is a table which is part of the list that Component Builder sets Up. The bucket list and edit views are built for you, based on the fields and input value mapped to them in your view. We will look at these other concepts more deeply but I need to have you understand from which angle we are coming. We will try and show you that inside of this article you will be creating fields, even put them into different tabs, which will have been rendered in a specific order by the Joomla! component after it's been compiled using Component Builder. That's using Joomla!'s Article Manager as sort of an example.

We could just as well go into Component Builder Since it has the demo application. See a detailed explanation of the demo component and building a local developer environment to run it. After selecting the demo Compile, it displays a warning because we haven't set some options in the global settings. It doesn't mean that there's been an error in the compiling. It just means it couldn't move the file to the git repository. If we deselect some compile options and start again it doesn't give you the same warning. Click install and compiled component gets installed Into this Joomla site. It doesn't have any images because that we don't ship the images with the components. It's easy to use your own.
