Course information
Course Summary
Project “Spartacus” is a lean, Angular-based JavaScript storefront for SAP Commerce Cloud. It allows you to hit the ground running by providing a framework to build single-page application (SPA) and progressive web app (PWA) storefronts. As well as being an SPA and PWA, Spartacus is highly configurable and extensible, which allows it to be used for a wide range of projects. A large part of this extensibility comes from Spartacus using the SAP Commerce Cloud content management system (CMS).
The goal of this course is to introduce how Spartacus leverages the SAP Commerce Cloud CMS. In the course you’ll learn how to set up Spartacus, how Spartacus uses the CMS, and how to extend Spartacus using the CMS. Additionally, the course will cover some fundamental theoretical concepts around the SAP Commerce Cloud CMS functions and how to best use them with Spartacus.
Note: This course was prepared using Spartacus version 3.1. By the time you start the course, a new version of Spartacus may be available. All the information provided in this course should also be valid for the newer version of Spartacus. However, there may be some small technical differences not covered here. In case of any problems, please refer to the official documentation.
