4. Agenda
• How to properly fit Single Page Apps in the Sitecore ecosystem
• Components
• Demo
Aspenware: Single Page Apps in Sitecore 4
5. Don’t SPA the whole site
• It’s a waste of a Sitecore license (and they’re not cheap)
• Marketing has a plan to turn visitors into buyers, and they need Sitecore’s customizable,
targeted widgets to realize the plan
• The more control and maintenance of the site you can give to marketing, the less work
you’ll have to do on it

6. No Room for a SPA on this page
Aspenware: Single Page Apps in Sitecore 6
7. So, when is a SPA appropriate?
• Short workflows where the functionality of Sitecore would actually get in the way of the
goal
• 2-5 screens
• Examples
• Checkout
• New user registration

8. SPA in the Middle

9. That’s great, but HOW?
• Create new Sitecore page with a placeholder for the Angular app
• Create sublayout in Visual Studio
• Create sublayout in Sitecore
• Put your new sublayout in your new page
• Publish
• Do Angular stuff

10. Gotchas to avoid
• Making CMS changes then forgetting to publish my sitecore items
• Making changes to the source code and forgetting to re-publish from Visual Studio
• Having invalid relative references
• Sitecore caching previous changes
