  Hybrid Technology Stack: Combining Sitecore MVC and Headless with Next.js Combining  Sitecore MVC  and  Headless with Next.js  allows organizations to deliver rich, dynamic experiences across multiple digital platforms while maintaining a single source of truth for content in Sitecore. Incorporating  Sitecore Experience Accelerator (SXA)  for MVC sites in this hybrid stack can further accelerate development and significantly reduce time to market. Let’s consider an example: you have thousands of content pages along with functional pages such as a customer portal, shopping, and forecasting tools. In this scenario: MVC + SXA  efficiently handles the various content pages with minimal development effort. Headless with Next.js  is ideal for managing functional pages that require enhanced interactivity and performance. Also, Sitecore APIs making it easier to deliver content across multiple platforms. Overview of the Hybrid Stack Sitecore MVC Tra...

  Recently, I faced an interesting challenge while working on a Sitecore MVC to Headless migration project. The application relied heavily on query string-based personalization to deliver tailored content, and I needed a way to carry over this behaviour into our new Next.js application using Sitecore JSS. Initially, I wasn’t sure how to handle this with GraphQL, but after a lot of investigation, I devised a solution. Below, I’ll share how I passed query string data into Sitecore’s GraphQL layout service and customized the Next.js app to handle it. The Challenge: Query String-Based Personalization Query string-based personalization is common in many applications, where different query parameters trigger the display of personalized content. While Sitecore MVC supports this out of the box, migrating to a headless architecture with Sitecore JSS and Next.js required additional logic to replicate this behaviour using GraphQL. The Solution: Passing Query Strings to GraphQL Layout Service ...

  Tanstack is not a framework or a specific technology, it is a technique for data management in Next.Js and React-based applications. Tanstack is a combination of Typescript, Next.Js, and React. Its mainly helps to address the most common pain points such as data fetching, caching, synchronizing, and updating the server state also helps to build scalable and high-performance applications. What is Tanstack Query? Before looking at the Tanstack query we need to understand what is React Query, React Query is a javascript library designed to simplify complex tasks such as data fetching from the APIs and caching the data in the React-based applications. React query offers some set of hooks to manage the data from various sources which includes REST APIs, GraphQL, and local states. Tanstack Query is one of the featured solutions to handle API requests, errors, and many more states, and the same as other features of the React Query but Tanstack is a combination of Next.js, React, an...
