        displayTitle: title.toUpperCase()
    });
    
    // Configure the root HTML element
    rw.setRootElement({
        as: 'section',
        class: 'my-component p-4',
        args: { id: customId }
    });
    
    // Register anchor for link picker
    if (customId) {
        rw.addAnchor(customId);
    }
    
    // Resize image for thumbnail
    const thumbnail = rw.resizeResource(image, 400);
};

exports.transformHook = transformHook;
```

## Function Details

### setProps

The primary way to pass data to your templates. Any data passed here becomes available in template files.

```javascript
rw.setProps({
    message: "Hello",
    items: [1, 2, 3],
    config: { enabled: true }
});
```

### setRootElement

Configure the wrapper element that Elements generates for your component. Control the tag name, CSS classes, and HTML attributes.

```javascript
rw.setRootElement({
    as: 'article',
    class: 'card shadow-lg',
    args: { 
        id: 'my-card',
        'data-theme': 'dark'
    }
});
```

### addAnchor

Register a custom anchor ID so users can link directly to this component instance using the link picker.

```javascript
rw.addAnchor('contact-form');
```

### resizeResource

Resize an image resource to a specific width. Returns the path to the resized image.

```javascript
const thumbnailPath = rw.resizeResource(imageResource, 300);
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-language/component/hooks.js/available-functions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
