Title: Form extensibility and customization
Added: v2.0.0

# Form Extensibility and Customization
This page describes how you can customize ADF forms to your own specification.
_Note: it is assumed you are familiar with Alfresco Process Services (powered by Activiti) form definition structure._
- How components and widgets are rendered on a [`Form`](../../lib/process-services/src/lib/task-list/models/form.model.ts)
- Replacing default form widgets with custom components
- Replacing custom stencils with custom components

## How components and widgets are rendered on a Form
All form field editors (aka widgets) on a [`Form`](../../lib/process-services/src/lib/task-list/models/form.model.ts) are rendered by means of [`FormFieldComponent`](../core/components/form-field.component.md)
that takes an instance of a [`FormFieldModel`](../core/models/form-field.model.md):
```html
<form-field [field]="field"></form-field>
```
This component depends on [`FormRenderingService`](../core/services/form-rendering.service.md) service to map [`FormFieldModel`](../core/models/form-field.model.md) to UI component
based on field type or metadata information.
### Component type resolvers
[`FormRenderingService`](../core/services/form-rendering.service.md) maps field types to corresponding instances exposing `ComponentTypeResolver` interface:
```ts
export interface ComponentTypeResolver {
(field: FormFieldModel): Type<{}>;
}
```
Typically a `ComponentTypeResolver` is a function that takes [`FormFieldModel`](../core/models/form-field.model.md) and returns corresponding component type.
This can either be a predefined component type or dynamically evaluated based on the field properties and metadata.
#### Static component mapping
You can (re)map fields like in the following:
```ts
let customResolver: ComponentTypeResolver = () => CustomWidgetComponent;
formRenderingService.setComponentTypeResolver('text', customResolver, true);
```
or simply:
```ts
formRenderingService.setComponentTypeResolver('text', () => CustomWidgetComponent, true);
```
#### Dynamic component mapping
Alternatively your resolver may return different component types based on [`FormFieldModel`](../core/models/form-field.model.md) state and condition:
```ts
let customResolver: ComponentTypeResolver = (field: FormFieldModel): Type<{}> => {
if (field) {
let params = field.params;
}
return UnknownWidgetComponent;
};
formRenderingService.setComponentTypeResolver('text', customResolver, true);
```
