Description Alex Blewitt CLA 2020-07-02 12:55:59 EDT 
The DS specification has moved on, and the v1.1.0 template that is generated with "File->New Component" has aged somewhat.

In particular, DS 1.4.0 now has the ability to construct objects through a constructor by taking an 'init' parameter (for the number of parameters required by the constructor) and then service references for passing them in on a parameter basis. This functionality is not exposed via the UI, and would be handy to do so, since having a component that has a mandatory reference is desirable in such a situation.
Comment 1 Julian Honnen CLA 2020-07-03 02:23:29 EDT 
There's no support yet for DS 1.4.
