A super small angular+html PoC for Sitecore JSS

What is it?

A few simple files to illustrate how easy it is to tie into Sitecore JSS.

• An index.html as the root page
• An app.js file for the angular
• A custom pipeline and config to augment the data coming back

What does it do?

It uses Angular to call out to a Sitecore instance with the necesary downloads and serves up content from Sitecore thru the layoutsvc

What do I need for it?

• Sitecore 9

• JSS Server Package

• A home page and an About Us page in the Sitecore instance.

What do I need if for?

• If you are going headless (pros and cons of headless)
• If you have developers with strong JavaScript chops and limited .net/mvc devs

How do I use it

Should be as easy as:

1. Clone, download, whatever, just get these files to your computer

2. Drop this into a webserver (IIS, Apache, whatever)

3. Hit the index.html home page.

4. If you want to use the pipeline, fire up a VS solution/project, build and deploy the binary and config.
