JSS deployment best practices and security
When developing with JSS, we recommend the following:
-
Consider storing Sitecore back-end code and JSS site code in the same source control repository to avoid issues synchronizing changes between the front and back end, and enable developers to easily commit, test, and revert changes. This also makes it easy to build and deploy JSS site artifacts to Sitecore during CI builds.
-
Automate the deployment of Sitecore updates and JSS site updates in headless mode into a single build process, to avoid defects caused by deploying different versions of the front end and back end.
-
To enable storing JSS connection and deployment information in deployment variables, you can use several options with the
jss setupcommand.
When running jss CLI commands in an environment where you cannot install global npm packages, you can use npm run jss [command] instead, which aliases the CLI command through npm.
Use -- before any arguments for the commands you run with npm. For example, npm run jss deploy items -- --skipPackage
