JCR preview definition

JCR preview definition ensures that a content app can render previews of binary data (e.g. an image) for the JCR nodes of a given data source. It implements the info.magnolia.ui.datasource.PreviewDefinition interface.

JCR preview definition is part of the Magnolia 6 UI framework. The fully qualified class name is info.magnolia.ui.contentapp.preview.JcrPreviewDefinition.

If you work with the Magnolia 5 UI framework, see Image provider definition instead.
