Embed a Default Component in a Custom Component?

Question

Is it possible to embed an existing component in a custom component?&nbsp; If so, what is the code for this action?&nbsp; I want to use a javascript if/else statement that looks for a node id to prohibit certain default components from showing up on some categories while keeping them on others.&nbsp; I know the javascript.&nbsp; I'm just not sure if I can call up an existing component somehow inside of a custom component.&nbsp; I would prefer to avoid using the REST API and just building new modules if possible.

Hiit must be possible ... You need to know the default component's id (you can find it in the Page XML structure : for instance the announcement &lt;component id="common.widget.annoucement"/&gt;)and add a @ at the beguinning ... So the syntax should be:&lt;@component id="common.widget.announcement" /&gt;hope this helpsJC

You may also want to explore using FreeMarker to control the display logic instead of JavaScript. The CoreNode custom context object should be able to tell you the id of the node:
