magento2 - Study of ui component xml tags

Question

magento2 use of ui component tags

I gone through UI component explanation link Explanation of UI Component Grid in Magento 2

its explains lot.

Also in core ui component, I have found the item tag with observers

<item name="observers" xsi:type="array">
    <item name="filters" xsi:type="object">Magento\ConfigurableProduct\Ui\Component\Listing\AssociatedProduct\Filters</item>
</item>

I like to use observers item node in my model.

Is that any source available to get more information about item node declaration

Answer 1

Magento 2 validates all XML files against XML Schema Definition, or XSD, files. That basically means that every possible node of every type used in a XML file is available and can be referenced.

Let's use UI component for example. Depending on how you installed Magento, you can drill down to magento2ce/vendor/magento/module-ui/etc/ or magento2ce/app/code/Magento/Ui/etc/ where you will find a few XSD files. Starting with ui_components.xsd take some time to view the contents of each.

Visit the Magento 2 Github repository to view those files online.
