| ## How to use |
|
|
| Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init), [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/), or [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) to bootstrap the example: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| npx create-next-app --example cms-sitefinity cms-sitefinity-app |
| ``` |
|
|
| ```bash |
| yarn create next-app --example cms-sitefinity cms-sitefinity-app |
| ``` |
|
|
| ```bash |
| pnpm create next-app --example cms-sitefinity cms-sitefinity-app |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Configuration |
|
|
| ### Step 1. Setup the CMS locally (version >=14.27922) |
|
|
| First, [install](https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/install-sitefinity) and run the CMS Locally. |
|
|
| ### Step 2. Import the ready to use dynamic module 'Posts' |
|
|
| For the purpose of this demo a ready to use dynamic module was build containing two types - 'Post' and 'Author'. |
|
|
| In order to install it: |
|
|
| 1. Open the CMS Administration under (/Sitefinity) |
| 2. Open the Export/Import screen under (/Sitefinity/Administration/Packaging) |
| 3. Click on Import Zip file and import the file from the [sitefinity folder](./sitefinity/SitefinityExport.zip) |
|
|
| ### Step 3. Enable the web service |
|
|
| By default the web services are not allowed for anonymous users, so the yhave to be enabled. |
|
|
| Go to /sitefinity/Administration/WebServices and edit the 'Default' web service to allow it to be accessible by 'Everyone' |
|
|
| ### Step 4. Install the GraphQL package |
|
|
| 1. Add the [Sitefinity CMS nugget source](https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/sitefinity-cms-nuget-packages-repository) |
| 2. Install the [Progress.Sitefinity.GraphQL](https://nuget.sitefinity.com/#/package/Progress.Sitefinity.GraphQL) package (enable prerelease filter). |
|
|
| ### Step 5. Set up environment variables |
|
|
| Copy the `.env.local.example` file in this directory to `.env.local` (which will be ignored by Git): |
|
|
| ```bash |
| cp .env.local.example .env.local |
| ``` |
|
|
| Then set each variable on `.env.local` |
|
|
| - `SF_API_URL` - This is the url of the 'Default' web service that we configured earlier. E.g. http://locahost/api/default/ |
| - `SF_URL` - This is the URL of the CMS itself. E.g. http://localhost/ |
|
|
| ### Step 6. Run Next.js in development mode |
|
|
| ```bash |
| npm install |
| npm run dev |
| |
| # or |
| |
| yarn |
| yarn dev |
| ``` |
