Create a Sitecore JSS React Application and Apply Personalization
Empowering Front-End Development with Sitecore JavaScript Services
Introduction
In today’s digital experience economy, Sitecore XP offers a unified platform for personalized content delivery across multiple channels and at scale. Built to support multi-site and multi-lingual environments, Sitecore CMS stands out with its flexibility and robustness.
One of the key innovations for front-end developers is Sitecore JavaScript Services (JSS)—an SDK that allows the creation of rich, component-based web applications using modern JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, and VueJS. In this article, we’ll walk you through creating a ReactJS application using Sitecore JSS and applying personalization using a Sitecore-first approach.
-Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
-Sitecore JSS 15.0 (configured in Sitecore instance)
-JSS CLI (optional) – speeds up app creation and scaffolding
Step-by-Step Integration: ReactJS with Sitecore
-Step 1: Create a Sitecore Application
In the Content Editor, navigate to:
/sitecore/content → Create a Tenant, then a Site under that tenant.
Choose Sitecore-first or Code-first approach:
Sitecore-first: Templates and content created in Sitecore.
Code-first: Managed fully by the front-end team via Node.js.
-Step 2: Create a React Application
Use JSS CLI to scaffold your React app:
bash
Copy
Edit
jss create my-jss-app react
Run npm install to set up dependencies.
Sitecore JSS packages will be added by default.
-Step 3: Configure Site and Hostname
In IIS, add the desired host: demojss.dev.local
Add the hostname in your system's hosts file:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
-Step 4: Setup API Key in Sitecore
Login at: https://demojss.dev.local/sitecore
Open Desktop → Content Editor
Generate and assign an API Key to your JSS app.
