Non SPA React Integration with AEM Project

Hi Julkar,

1. Use ui.frontend for React Integration:

   • Customize the ui.frontend module within your AEM project to build React components.
   • Use Webpack or a similar bundler to compile React components into JavaScript and CSS.
   • Deploy these assets into AEM as client libraries.

2. Embed React Components Dynamically:

   • Create a div container in your HTL (Sightly) templates.
   • Render React components dynamically into these div containers using ReactDOM.render. For example:

     import React from 'react';
     import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
     import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
     
     ReactDOM.render(<MyComponent />, document.getElementById('my-react-div'));

3. Follow AEM Headless Guidance:

   • If your application consumes content from AEM, you can use AEM's headless capabilities or Content Services to fetch JSON data and render it in your React components. This keeps React and AEM decoupled.

4. Handling State and Data Sharing:

   • Use client-side storage like SessionStorage or LocalStorage for multi-step forms or to persist state temporarily across React components.
