1. MultisiteMiddleware

Configure the MultisiteMiddleware class locally

Version: 0.x (alpha public release)

For accurate site resolution during local development, developers are encouraged to simulate production-like domain routing by configuring custom hostnames. This can be done using the MultisiteMiddleware.

To set up and configure the MultisiteMiddleware to achieve production-like domain routing locally:

  1. Find your hosts file:

    • For macOS/Linux - /etc/hosts

    • For Windows - C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

  2. Add the following to point a local domain to 127.0.0.1:

    127.0.0.1 sitea.localhost 
127.0.0.1 siteb.localhost

  3. Update the Site Definition in SitecoreAI:

    • Navigate to /sitecore/content/YourTenant/YourSite/Settings/SiteGroup/Site Definitions.

    • Open the relevant Site Definition item (for example, sitea).

    • Add sitea.localhost to the HostName field.

This ensures consistency between your local development environment and the content served by SitecoreAI.
