Requires Sitecore 10.3 Requires .NET 4.8 Constellation is a collection of utilities for .NET CMS implementers. The Foundation.Mvc assembly contains enhancements to Sitecore's MVC Rendering system: GenerateRenderingSpecificCacheKey Mvc.RenderRendering pipeline processor: Replaces the default GenerateCacheKey processor. Includes the ID of the Rendering in the cache key, this allows for multiple renderings with different presentation to use the same Datasource and be cached by Datasource without issues. MinifyAndAddRecordedHtmlToCache Mvc.RenderRendering pipeline processor: Replaces the default AddRecordedHtmlToCache processor. Uses the WebMarkupMin library to process the output HTML, Javascript, and CSS and minify it to improve page delivery time through file size reduction. The default settings are "safe" but effective, however WebMarkupMin offers far more aggressive minification settings for the bold. GetControllerRenderer Mvc.GetRenderer pipeline processor: Replaces the default GetControllerRenderer. Allows the developer to rely on the name of the Rendering to locate the appropriate controller to execute (convention over configuration). Very handy for Renderings that have a dedicated controller with one action that always produces the same output. ConventionController: Provides a good base-class controller for Sitecore implementations: * Forces the use of the Index() controller action (overrides possible) * Provides the programmer with immediate access to the Rendering's DataSource and ContextItem (PageContext) * Requires the programmer to assemble the model from the above Items. * Automatically finds the View based upon the Rendering's XPath location in Sitecore EditorCompatibleView: Replaces the stock MVC View, and provides methods for determining if the Page Mode "IsExperienceEditor" and "IsExperienceEditorEditing" which are of particular use if the View needs to change behavior to support editors. ViewPathResolver: Independent engine for locating a View based on the Rendering Item's path in Sitecore. It has configuration settings that allow the programmer to specify the location of Renderings in Sitecore and how they map to the location of the Views on disk. See the provided config file for details.
This project was designed to add new functionality to LuckyAssetManager. In LuckyAssetManagerContrib implemented 2 custom processor: SelectPathProcessor (processor for choosing pre-minified assets with file extensions *.min.js and *.min.css in release mode) and FinalProcessor (responsible for replacement relative paths in CSS-files, combining and caching assets), and new improved HTTP-handler (supports browser caching and ETags). This extension will help your web applications successfully pass a most part of the tests in YSlow. Attention! In order to take advantage of new features requires manual editing of Web.config (see instruction - http://bit.ly/ADLlVN).
