Update README fiile
This is a project template for AEM-based applications. It is intended as a best-practice set of examples as well as a potential starting point to develop your own functionality.
The main parts of the template are:
- core: Java bundle containing all core functionality like OSGi services, listeners or schedulers, as well as component-related Java code such as servlets or request filters.
- it.tests: Java based integration tests
- ui.apps: contains the /apps (and /etc) parts of the project, ie JS&CSS clientlibs, components, and templates
- ui.content: contains sample content using the components from the ui.apps
- ui.config: contains runmode specific OSGi configs for the project
- ui.frontend: an optional dedicated front-end build mechanism (Angular, React or general Webpack project)
- ui.tests.cypress: Cypress based UI tests
- ui.tests.wdio: Selenium based UI tests
- all: a single content package that embeds all of the compiled modules (bundles and content packages) including any vendor dependencies
- analyse: this module runs analysis on the project which provides additional validation for deploying into AEMaaCS
To build all the modules run in the project root directory the following command with Maven 3:
mvn clean install
To build all the modules and deploy the all
package to a local instance of AEM, run in the project root directory the following command:
mvn clean install -PautoInstallSinglePackage
Or to deploy it to a publish instance, run
mvn clean install -PautoInstallSinglePackagePublish
Or alternatively
mvn clean install -PautoInstallSinglePackage -Daem.port=4503
Or to deploy only the bundle to the author, run
mvn clean install -PautoInstallBundle
Or to deploy only a single content package, run in the sub-module directory (i.e ui.apps
)
mvn clean install -PautoInstallPackage
There are three levels of testing contained in the project:
This show-cases classic unit testing of the code contained in the bundle. To test, execute:
mvn clean test
This allows running integration tests that exercise the capabilities of AEM via HTTP calls to its API. To run the integration tests, run:
mvn clean verify -Plocal
Test classes must be saved in the src/main/java
directory (or any of its
subdirectories), and must be contained in files matching the pattern *IT.java
.
The configuration provides sensible defaults for a typical local installation of
AEM. If you want to point the integration tests to different AEM author and
publish instances, you can use the following system properties via Maven's -D
flag.
Property | Description | Default value |
---|---|---|
it.author.url |
URL of the author instance | http://localhost:4502 |
it.author.user |
Admin user for the author instance | admin |
it.author.password |
Password of the admin user for the author instance | admin |
it.publish.url |
URL of the publish instance | http://localhost:4503 |
it.publish.user |
Admin user for the publish instance | admin |
it.publish.password |
Password of the admin user for the publish instance | admin |
The integration tests in this archetype use the AEM Testing Clients and showcase some recommended best practices to be put in use when writing integration tests for AEM.
The analyse
module performs static analysis on the project for deploying into AEMaaCS. It is automatically
run when executing
mvn clean install
from the project root directory. Additional information about this analysis and how to further configure it can be found here https://github.com/adobe/aemanalyser-maven-plugin
They will test the UI layer of your AEM application using either Cypress or Selenium technology.
Check README file in ui.tests.cypress
or ui.tests.wdio
module for more details.
The frontend module is made available using an AEM ClientLib. When executing the NPM build script, the app is built and the aem-clientlib-generator
package takes the resulting build output and transforms it into such a ClientLib.
A ClientLib will consist of the following files and directories:
css/
: CSS files which can be requested in the HTMLcss.txt
(tells AEM the order and names of files incss/
so they can be merged)js/
: JavaScript files which can be requested in the HTMLjs.txt
(tells AEM the order and names of files injs/
so they can be mergedresources/
: Source maps, non-entrypoint code chunks (resulting from code splitting), static assets (e.g. icons), etc.
The project comes with the auto-public repository configured. To setup the repository in your Maven settings, refer to:
