 Description   

For templates and paragraphs, we have the feature of adding parameters and accessing those values just by ${def.key} (instead of def.parameters.key).

It would be very nice, if this was possible also for Areas (for example: def.footer.parameters.key)

Hi Stefan,

Makes sense. But currently, the Area class does not have a parameters map. So there'd be two things needed: 1) adding this Map 2) adding the freemarker "shortcut", similar to info.magnolia.module.templating.freemarker.RenderableDefinitionModel

What is your use case ? Maybe you could achieve something similar by nesting paragraphs ?

Hi Greg

I have no special case. i came across several situations in a project, where this feature would have been an easy solution. And i thought, adding this map would be a very small change without further implications... So I just opened this ticket to ask

I agree that the areas are becoming more and more a base component and should have similar properties as the paragraphs and templates.

We are moving in that direction for Magnolia 5.0.

Going through my reported tickets...

Nicely implemented with STK 2.x! Can be closed...
