How to customize not cms components in Spartacus

Question

I have a task to override some general functionality in Spartacus core (angular component), which is used in other OTTB components (like CMS and not CMS).

The example is cx-generic-link.

But I faced with problem that the only way of customizing OOTB components are if they are cms Components.

Question: Is there any way to customize cx-generic-link (for instance display name "Maks" everywhere), so that all other Spartacus components (which I am using as a library) use my cx-generic-link, but not a OOTB cx-generic-link.

Answer 1

Other than CSS customisation there's currently no concept for this in Spartacus nor in Angular. We're working on a more generic concept to customise lower level components, but it's likely not going to make it in 2.0. It's still a stretch for 2.0 though, but with the various priorities we have, this is likely moving to a later release.
