Umbrella for Sitecore JSS is a utility that synchronizes items from your Sitecore JSS website to a folder on your computer where you can work directly in your local JSS application even when you're offline. It pulls the current state of your app in Sitecore to your local state. It serves client and server side out of the box and you can deploy straight to docker in Azure. All can be done connected and disconnected.
Why? In Sitecore JSS you can choose between two developer workflow states. I think Sitecore First is the one to go with, but you cannot start without the Code First approach.
npm link jss-umbrellafrom the command line you can use:
umbrella| Switch | Action |
|---|---|
| -t, --templates | Sync all the templates from Sitecore |
| -p, --placeholders | Sync all the placeholders from Sitecore |
| -m, --manifests | Sync all the component manifests from Sitecore |
| -c, --content | Sync all the content from your Sitecore JSS website |
| -d, --dryrun | Sync but do not write to disk |
| -x, --typescript | Creates manifests in TypeScript |
By default, the script will generate JS files.
