Forrit One Guide for Consumer App and SDK
Purpose | This section is aimed at developers and describes how to set up a Consumer App to run a website built with the Forrit CMS. |
Prerequisite | Consumer apps Locales Variants |
Manifests
The Consumer App connects to the Forrit system through a Manifest Service provided by Forrit in the private Nuget package Forrit.Content.
The Manifest Service provides access to Pages created in the CMS. The Manifest Service ensures that content updates are quickly distributed to servers around the world.
As the developer of a Consumer App, you are responsible for connecting to the Manifest Service and pulling the content to display in the Consumer App.
Locales and Variants
Pages can be customized using Locales and Variants that are defined in the CMS. The Consumer App is responsible for implementing the business logic that selects the appropriate Locale and Variant for a given incoming page request.
As the developer of a Consumer App, you are responsible for the creation of a Locale Provider and a Variant Provider, which conform to the ILocaleProvider and IVariantProvider interfaces. These providers are responsible for implementing your locale and variant business logic, returning the locale and variant which should be used for each request.
