Sitecore Module Explorer

Configure module globs

Version:

The search paths used to locate your modules are called module globs. You must configure the module globs for Sitecore Content Serialization to find them. Typically, a solution has a file system structure like the following:

├───.sitecore
└───src/
    ├───BasicCompanyBuild/
    ├───BasicCompanyItems/
    │   └───BasicCompanyItems.module.json
    │   └───serialization/
    ├───Feature/
    │   └───BasicCompany/
    │       ├───Accordion
    │       ├───HeroBanner
    │       ├───PromoCard
    │       ├───PromoContainer
    │       └───SectionHeader
    ├───Foundation/
    │   └───Navigation
    ├───ProjectItems/
    │   └───ProjectItems.module.json
    │   └───serialization/
    └───Sitecore.RenderingHost.Helpers/

To configure module globs:

In Sitecore Module Explorer, double-click Sitecore Configuration Root.

In the Sitecore Configuration Root window, edit the following:

Field	Content
Default max relative item path length	Configure the maximum relative item path length allowed in the file system.
Relative serialization path	Configure the relative serialization path for items in all modules.
Module Globs	Add the paths to your modules. You can use wildcards for this. For example, to tell SCS that you keep `.module.json` files located in `/src` subfolders, add `src//.module.json`. Or, if you want to keep module files in the `src/Feature/BasicCompany/Accordion/` subfolder, add `src////*.module.json`.

Save the Sitecore Configuration Root.
