= Component Render
ifndef::snippets[:snippets: ../../test/java/org/springframework/shell/docs]
You can implement component rendering in either of two ways: fully
programmatically or by using a _ANTLR Stringtemplate_.
Strictly speaking, there is a simple `Function` renderer interface
that takes `Context` as an input and outputs a list of `AttributedString`.
This lets you choose between templating and code.
Templating is a good choice if you do not need to do anything complex or
you just want to slightly modify existing component layouts. Rendering
through code then gives you flexibility to do whatever you need.
The programmatic way to render is to create a `Function`:
====
[source, java, indent=0]
----
include::{snippets}/UiComponentSnippets.java[tag=snippet1]
----
====
Then you can hook it to a component:
====
[source, java, indent=0]
----
include::{snippets}/UiComponentSnippets.java[tag=snippet2]
----

Components have their own context but usually share some functionality
from a parent component types. The following tables show those context variables:
