Adding custom field to Component Configurator

Example Task: My designs say that the image teaser component can have either white (default), grey or black background. A client wants to decide on that while configuring component.

Please pay attention to the frontend_type entry in the custom field configuration.

This entry is used to tell the frontend part of a component, if this is html or a css_class. Default value is html. If you specify this as css_class, then the chosen value will be automatically added to the class list of the component’s container. No need to do anything else. Script automatically finds all custom fields with this type, collects them and adds to the additional classes property.
You can use this in custom fields for whole component as well as image teaser slide.
