About

Have you asked yourself how to build single-page applications or a progressive web apps with CoreMedia? Spark provides guidance and examples for developers on how to best develop applications by means of the data provided by the CoreMedia Content Cloud and its Headless server.

CoreMedia customers can use Spark as a quick start for building prototype applications. Note that we do not recommend the use of these prototype apps in production environments.

This CoreMedia Labs project includes two React applications and two server components:

• spark - Provides guidance for frontend developers that are building websites and other applications based on the CoreMedia Headless server with code examples and documentation on:
  • Preview Driven Editing
  • Time Travel
  • Placement Highlighting
  • Content Search
  • Fragment Preview and many others
• standalone-fragment - Demonstrates the ability to load fragments from a CoreMedia Content Cloud and render it on an external website. For example, by injecting resources client side through a tag management solution like the Google Tag Manager.
• stitching-server - Provides a GraphQL Endpoint for the apps.
• mocking-server - Provides generic commerce data for the stitching server.

Although we chose React with which to build Spark, the principles can easily be transferred to other component libraries and frameworks such as Vue and Angular.
