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.
### Joomla! Component Builder Demo Component
+ [Look here for more demo component and other useful information on getting started.](https://github.com/vdm-io/Joomla-Component-Builder/wiki/Using-the-JCB-Demo-Component-While-Building-Your-Local-Development-System)
If you click on add a Look It will open the edit and it keeps you on the Look. It also opens a list view where the list of Looks will be displayed. We added an import feature which your normal Joomla! components don't have. We will explain that later. If it's new you can add text to your radio button. If I add something to the text field it opens an alias which is also a text field. We also have a repeatable field and we can add information to it. That is a look at the features in the demo component. The appendix has a detailed description of the demo component along with step by step instructions on building a local development environment to run it on.
Now let's look at how fields get into the component and use the Joomla! infrastructure. If we go to Admin views and select Look Open look you'll find the fields we just looked at. The name is used to map the field into the view using the field here. Reason why you cannot add using this area is because this is to edit existing fields. Instead of adding them. So, if you were to open a admin view you can edit them from here especially if you Have many components and many fields. This is a way to Sort of just look at the fields related to this components. If you were to add more Fields you would open this box and this is where you'll be adding them. Let's get back to field types because that's really where it all starts. We've already added all the field types to JCB that I think you will need.
