List of xml component variables

When adding a component to a quilt xml file, some components contain variables like setting the wrapper, and other things like "hideGranularity", "useChrome", etc. I was wondering if there is a list somewhere that has all the variables you can use for the components? Or do they relate to the individual component itself?

Specifically, I am looking for an option to hide the component when the user is anonymous. I know there is a variable called "hideWhenSignedIn" that some components use, but I need the opposite variable (hideWhenSignedOut or something similar).

    Lindsey,

    Each component has its own attributes, and currently there is no exact documentation available for these attributes.

    But for more help you can see these articles.

    To hide show components, you can include those components in your custom component and hide them using context objects conditions.

    What about a custom component and attributes? Can I create a component and pass in my own props like:

    <@component id="custom-component" foo="bar" />

    mattUnicorn,

    Yes you can pass the values in parameter in your own custom component.

    <@component id="custom-component" param="bar" />

    and fetch the value of the passed parameter for above statement using below code:

    <#assign paramvalue=env.context.component.getParameter('param') />
${paramvalue}

    You can actually see the documented component parameters: When in Community Studio and you hover over a component in the component selector a tooltip will show to the right. With that open move your mouse cursor above it and click anywhere to open the component details:

    There click "Where do I configure this" to see a documentation of parameters:
