Hello everyone, In this blog we will see how we can run database clean up task manaully using Sitecore CLI and why it is important especially during upgrade.

If you go through Sitecore Upgrade guide for container, you will find that Sitecore provide mssql-upgrade docker image which takes care of upgrading the SQL schema and tables required for the required Sitecore version to function properly.But if you closely observe during sql upgrade, you will see Sitecore modules are not updated during the process. Sitecore documentation guide provide information how we can upgrade different Sitecore module which is used in the solution. In our solution, we were using Sitecore PowerShell and Sitecore SXA module.Also in Sitecore 10.3, Sitecore is providing this module as Item As Resource( .dat files ) instead Sitecore Items in the package. So whenever we are upgrading, we need to remo...

Sitecore structure Layout Service Front End Code to Read Route Data import {Field,useSitecoreContext,Text } from '@sitecore-jss/sitecore-jss-nextjs'; type CustomRouteTypeContext = { route: { fields: { pageTitle: Field<string>; }; }; }; const ReadApprouteData = () => { const {sitecoreContext: {route: { fields },},} = useSitecoreContext<CustomRouteTypeContext>(); console.log(fields); return( <div> <Text field={fields.pageTitle} /> </div>) }; export default ReadApprouteData If you see, we are using the useSitecoreContext hook to retrieve the route da...

Hello everyone. In this blog we will see more example of writing GraphQL queries. This is continue part of my previous blog which you can find here So let's start without wasting any extra time.

Hello everyone, in this blog we will try to learn how we can fetch the data from Sitecore using GraphQL and build the component in Next JS application. We will utilize the Tiles component which was build in my last blog regarding GraphQL. The blog link is available Here This is just an example as same component can be developed using Layout service also. Lets see the code for the front end and try to see learn what each code function do. import React from "react"; import { GetStaticComponentProps, useComponentProps, JSS_MODE_DISCONNECTED, GraphQLRequestClient, } from '@sitecore-jss/sitecore-jss-nextjs'; import { StyleguideComponentProps } from 'lib/component-props'; import config from 'temp/config'; type ListItem = { Image : { src : string; alt : string; } TileLink : { target : string; text : string; url : string; } Title : { value : string; } id : string; } const Tiles = (props:...

Hello everyone, In this blog, we will learn one more important concepts in Sitecore SXA and i.e. Custom Scriban object. As scriban was introduced in Sitecore 9.3 SXA, more developer started using Scriban while creating rendering variants. By default Sitecore provide a number of built-in Scriban Objects which you find on the Sitecore document site Link . Still there are time, where we need to create our own custom Scriban objects and we will see this here, how we can implement it. Let's take a use case: Reading Dictionary directly inside Scriban template. For this we don't have any built-in object and we will implement it using custom Scriban Object. Steps for creating Custom Scriban Object Creating custom Scriban processor inheriting from IGenerateScribanContextProcessor Registering the Processor under generateScribanContext pipeline So lets see the code without wasting any more time. Step 1: Create a Custom Scriban Processor ( GetDictionary ). Inherit the class from Add...
