Sitecore JavaScript Services (JSS) is a complete SDK for JavaScript developers that enables you to build full-fledged solutions using Sitecore and modern JavaScript UI libraries and frameworks.
I have gathered some learning materials and resources that can help you get started with development with this great module.
Enjoy!
1. Sitecore JSS Documentation
Great resource to start is official Sitecore JSS documentation -> https://jss.sitecore.com/docs.
It’s really nicely written and structured where at the beginning you have everything to get you up to speed with “Getting Started” section. It continues with “Fundamentals” and “Frameworks overview“. Once you master those, you are ready for more advanced topics in last section “Techniques“.
2. Youtube
If you are person to see things in action rather then reading about them, there are plenty of great YouTube videos and playlists to watch:
- Headless and JSS playlist by “Master Sitecore” – here you can find videos with the same content as “Getting Started” section mentioned in JSS Documentation above
- Sitecore JSS 12.0.0 playlist by Robbert Hock
- Sitecore JSS playlist by “Our Sitecore Journey“
- Helix and JavaScript Services (JSS) by Jean-François L’Heureux
3. Blogs
There are lots of Sitecore developers / employees out there who share their knowledge, expertise and experience through their blogs, github repos, youtube channels and so on. Some are specialized in Sitecore JSS particularly. This can be great source of knowledge and could help you get started and also find solutions to your problems pretty quickly.
