This repository contains sample code showing how to refactor Sitecore components for reusability, better design and testability.
The commits show the progressive refactorings made to the components and adding the tests. Each significant commit has been tagged.
The code uses references from NuGet, so should build without issue.
The solution can be configured to automatically deploy to a local Sitecore instance upon build. To enable automatic deployment, copy and rename the deploy.props.sample file to deploy.props. Open the new deploy.props file and set the inner text of the /Project/PropertyGroup/DeployPath element to the path of your local Sitecore instance such as:
<Project>
<PropertyGroup>
<DeployPath>C:\inetpub\wwwroot\sc930.sc</DeployPath>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>
Reload the solution so the properties are loaded. Now the files will deploy to Sitecore upon a successful build.
The solution uses Unicorn to serialize items, and the serialized items must be synchronized into Sitecore upon first build. After building the solution, navigate to the /unicorn.aspx page of your Sitecore instance and click the sync button.
Once items have been deserialized, perform a publish.
