Requirements and recommendations for extending SXA.
SXA follows the Sitecore Helix principles that contain development process recommendations for building, testing, extending, and maintaining Sitecore implementations. One of the Helix principles is that each module has a separate location in the content tree:
{PATH_TO_SITECORE_LOCATION}/{LAYER}/{PRODUCT}/{MODULE}
For example:
/sitecore/templates/Foundation/Experience Accelerator/Multisite
Where:
Parameter | Example value | Description |
|---|---|---|
PATH_TO_SITECORE_LOCATION | /sitecore/templates/ | Path to the location where project-specific items will be stored |
LAYER | Foundation | Helix recognizes several different layers: Project, Feature, Foundation |
PRODUCT | Experience Accelerator | Optional. Additional level of nesting for better organization of all SXA modules under a single folder. |
MODULE | Multisite | Module name. |
You can add new templates for specific projects. This can be convenient if you are working on a project that needs custom templates. You can add your project templates to: /sitecore/templates/Project/Project_Name
