## How to use

Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init), [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/), or [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) to bootstrap the example:

```bash
npx create-next-app --example cms-sitefinity cms-sitefinity-app
```

```bash
yarn create next-app --example cms-sitefinity cms-sitefinity-app
```

```bash
pnpm create next-app --example cms-sitefinity cms-sitefinity-app
```

## Configuration

### Step 1. Setup the CMS locally (version >=14.27922)

First, [install](https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/install-sitefinity) and run the CMS Locally.

### Step 2. Import the ready to use dynamic module 'Posts'

For the purpose of this demo a ready to use dynamic module was build containing two types - 'Post' and 'Author'.

In order to install it:

1. Open the CMS Administration under (/Sitefinity)
2. Open the Export/Import screen under (/Sitefinity/Administration/Packaging)
3. Click on Import Zip file and import the file from the [sitefinity folder](./sitefinity/SitefinityExport.zip)

### Step 3. Enable the web service

By default the web services are not allowed for anonymous users, so the yhave to be enabled.

Go to /sitefinity/Administration/WebServices and edit the 'Default' web service to allow it to be accessible by 'Everyone'

### Step 4. Install the GraphQL package

1. Add the [Sitefinity CMS nugget source](https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/sitefinity-cms-nuget-packages-repository)
2. Install the [Progress.Sitefinity.GraphQL](https://nuget.sitefinity.com/#/package/Progress.Sitefinity.GraphQL) package (enable prerelease filter).

### Step 5. Set up environment variables

Copy the `.env.local.example` file in this directory to `.env.local` (which will be ignored by Git):

```bash
cp .env.local.example .env.local
```

Then set each variable on `.env.local`

- `SF_API_URL` - This is the url of the 'Default' web service that we configured earlier. E.g. http://locahost/api/default/
- `SF_URL` - This is the URL of the CMS itself. E.g. http://localhost/

### Step 6. Run Next.js in development mode

```bash
npm install
npm run dev

# or

yarn
yarn dev
```
