In the first part of the series I tried to explain and give a very small introduction to what is Sitecore Identity and the basic implementation that comes out of the box with Sitecore 9.1 +
In this part I will show some coding and how to build an external web application that uses the Sitecore Identity server to authenticate users, and to connect to the Sitecore instance APIs.
One of the major updates that came in Sitecore 9.1 is Sitecore Identity, this blog post will introduce a basic understanding for how it works.
One thing I love about Sitecore is the ability to extend and customize almost anything. And that also goes with the newly released Sitecore JSS.
In the previous posts, I gave a very brief introduction and getting started with Sitecore JSS, and then I tried to recreate a very minimal JSS app without using any out of the box client tools.
In this post I will show how to use the Sitecore JSS tools to reuse your own template.
In the last post of getting started with Sitecore JSS, I worte a brief introduction on what is actually Sitecore JSS, decribed the server and client components and finally showed how to run the out of box react template. I also described briefly what comes with the default template in terms of folder but didn’t get into details of that.
In this post, I will build the simplest ever jss application without using the default template, and deploying it to Sitecore with the bare minimum, this will help to understand all the moving parts under the hood.
I have been working on a mega project using Sitecore JSS, it even got pushed to production since TP4.
Having said, I decided to start blogging about this awesome technology hopefully to give back to the community and to learn more through the process.
So let’s begin.
