Use Thunder Client (VS Code) instead of Postman !

For years I have been using Postman in order to get information about my XC environments and data. And for years I have been tired of this memory-hungry elephant where I just needed a simple REST client.

Create Sitecore Commerce items with a script – Part 1 (Utils)

Importing and exporting single Sitecore Commerce items is not easy, there is no OOTB serialization of single items as we have for Sitecore CMS items. This is because Sitecore XC items are virtual items which are shown in Content Editor using Commerce Engine Connect Catalog Provider. The provider is defined in Sitecore.Commerce.Engine.DataProvider.config There is aContinue reading “Create Sitecore Commerce items with a script – Part 1 (Utils)”

Using Sitecore.MainUtil – Part 1

Comment installer Sitecore Storefront 10 avec Docker

Spoiler: C’était pas facile ! A partir de la version 9 de Sitecore, il a été possible d’installer Sitecore XP et XC sur Docker. L’installation n’était pas simple et nécessitait beaucoup de patience et une très bonne compréhension du fonctionnement de Docker et de la manière dont les différentes parties de Sitecore interagissent les unesContinue reading “Comment installer Sitecore Storefront 10 avec Docker”
