Hi @kalyanchakravarthych ,
In a typical AEM setup, the pages you create in the AEM SPA Editor are backed by AEM components and templates. When you create a page in the SPA Editor, AEM expects there to be corresponding components and templates defined in your AEM project to render the content of that page.
However, in your case, since you're using a remote SPA architecture with React, the pages are not rendered on the server side like in a traditional AEM setup. Instead, the React app fetches content from AEM via APIs and renders it client-side.
To dynamically add pages without creating corresponding folder structures in your AEM Maven archetype project, you'll need to handle the creation and rendering of these pages entirely within your React app. Here's a high-level approach you can take:
Dynamic Page Creation: Implement functionality in your React app to allow users to dynamically create pages. This could involve providing a form where users can input page metadata and content, and then sending this data to your AEM instance via AEM's Content Services API (such as GraphQL or Sling Models API) to create the necessary nodes and properties in the JCR.
Fetching Page Content: Modify your React app to fetch content from AEM dynamically based on the requested page. When a user navigates to a specific page, your React app should send a request to your AEM instance to fetch the content for that page using AEM's Content Services API. This content can then be rendered dynamically in your React components.
Rendering Dynamic Pages: Update your React app to dynamically render the fetched content based on the page structure and components defined in your AEM project. You may need to implement logic to handle different types of components and layouts dynamically.
Regarding the requirement to load a template for a page in your React app without creating a corresponding page in the React app itself, you could consider implementing a fallback mechanism. When a page is requested in your React app and there's no corresponding React component for it, you can fall back to rendering a default template or component. This could be a generic page layout or a predefined template that you specify in your React app.
Overall, implementing dynamic page creation and rendering in a remote SPA architecture with React requires careful consideration of how your React app interacts with your AEM instance and how content is fetched and rendered dynamically. You'll need to design your React app to handle these scenarios effectively while maintaining consistency with your AEM content structure and templates.
