What is the disconnected mode of Sitecore JSS?
The JSS disconnected mode enables development of JSS apps using a local mock version of the Sitecore JSS services – Layout Service and Dictionary Service.
When to run JSS in connected or disconnected mode?
Run jss start to start in disconnected mode. In connected mode, a Sitecore instance is required. The Sitecore databases hold the content, layout data, and component registrations. Unlike disconnected mode defining local mock data is unnecessary. When the app is run, the data is acquired from Sitecore using HTTP data calls.
Can a JSS app use Sitecore GraphQL?
Sitecore GraphQL is supported to enable accessing content or other custom data schemas (for example, aggregating an existing set of backend REST services). Sitecore GraphQL does not come with a disconnected mock service, so it can only operate with a JSS app in Connected, Integrated, or Headless application modes.
Do you need a JSS license to use Sitecore?
Note: a JSS-enabled Sitecore license is required to consume JSS’ Layout Service data directly as an API. Consume Sitecore APIs that return JSON data from anything that understands JSON, e.g. native mobile apps, chatbots, etc. Follow the directions in the Quick Start to install the Headless server components.
How to use angular sample app with Sitecore?
The Angular sample app makes use of the Apollo GraphQL client. Usage is pretty simple: follow the apollo-angular documentation, but instead of injecting Apollo, inject JssGraphQLService instead. This service has the same API as Apollo, but performs some JSS-specific operations to make it more compatible with Sitecore.
What do you need to know about JSS in react?
The JSS app needs to be able to read aspects of the JSS configuration, such as the current Layout Service endpoint config. To accomplish this, before a build runs the scripts/generate-config.js script is run which dynamically assembles the src/temp/config.js file that the app can then import when it needs config access.
