Hi all,

can anyone help on this below folders restructuring. This has been required for me to work on the 6.4 migrations.

1) etc/designs/myproject/clientlibs - right now I moved this to apps/myproject/clientlibs . but I'm worrying on this path since the dispatcher will block this path. I have refered this URL Using Client-Side Libraries  . This URL is useful if am referring a single image/js/css. But how should I refer a categories?

2) /etc/commerce/products/web/Default/en (before)- var/commerce/products/web/Default/en (after - is it aright path which I moved?)

3) /etc/commerce/products/web/Default/en (before)- - var/commerce/products/web/Default/en (after)

I also referred the blogs which is related my queries. But still i'm confused. Requesting those guys as well to help me here . wimsymons​ prajwalreddy​ smacdonald2008 Arun Patidar  Appreciate your help.

regards,

Vijay

    Hi,

    Locating a Client Library Folder and Using the Proxy Client Libraries Servlet

    In previous versions, client library folders were located below /etc/clientlibs in the repository. This is still supported, however it is recommended that client libraries now be located under /apps. This is to locate the client libraries near the other scripts, which are generally found below /apps and /libs.

    Note:

    In order to better isolate code from content and configuration, it is recommended to locate client libraries under /appsand expose them via /etc.clientlibs by leveraging the allowProxy property.

    In order for the client libraries under /apps to be accessible, a proxy servelt is used. The ACLs are still enforced on the client library folder, but the servlet allows for the content to be read via /etc.clientlibs/ if the allowProxy property is set to true.

    A static resource can only be accessed via the proxy, if it resides below a resource below the client library folder.

    As an example:

    • You have a clientlib in /apps/myproject/clientlibs/foo
    • You have a static image in /apps/myprojects/clientlibs/foo/resources/icon.png

    Then you set the allowProxy property on foo to true.

    • You can then request /etc.clientlibs/myprojects/clientlibs/foo.js
    • You can then reference the image via /etc.clientlibs/myprojects/clientlibs/foo/resources/icon.png

    Caution:

    When using proxied client libraries, the AEM Dispatcher configuration may require an update to ensure the URIs with the extension clientlibs are allowed.

      Hi Arun,

      Thanks for you response. You have referred this URL Using Client-Side Libraries  and even I have referred the same. My question is, if I have a folder(myapp) under etc/designs/myapp . And I gave the categories name as myapp.clientlib.all. In this case how should I handle the categories when I moved the clientlibs to apps/ folder. In the reference there is an example for single js & single img but not for categories.

      Thanks,

      Vijay

      Hi,

      You can include clientlibs as you doing like <cq:includeClientLib categories="myapp.all"/> or

      <sly data-sly-use.clientLib="/libs/granite/sightly/templates/clientlib.html" data-sly-call="${clientLib.css @ categories='myapp.all'}" data-sly-unwrap/>

      Then the clientlib will then be proxied via <script type="text/javascript" src="/etc.clientlibs/myapp/clientlibs/all.js"></script>

      In AEM 6.4 - clientlibs is recommended to go under /apps. You should modify the Dispather so this is not blocked.
