Introduction

When working with Sitecore JSS (JavaScript Services) and XM Cloud, developers often encounter issues with accessing context item field data from the sitecoreContext object in the ComponentWithContextProps component. In this article, we will explore the possible causes of this issue and provide a step-by-step guide to resolve it.

Understanding ComponentWithContextProps

The ComponentWithContextProps component is a part of the lib/component-props library, which is used to provide context item field data to Sitecore JSS components. This component is designed to work with the sitecoreContext object, which contains information about the current context item.

Code Review

To better understand the issue, let's take a look at the code. Please find the relevant code snippets below:

lib/component-props/index.js

import { ComponentWithContextProps } from './component-with-context-props';
export default ComponentWithContextProps;

lib/component-props/component-with-context-props.js

import { Component } from 'react';
import { withSitecoreContext } from '@sitecore-jss/sitecore-jss-react';
class ComponentWithContextProps extends Component {
render() {
const { sitecoreContext } = this.props;
// Accessing context item field data from sitecoreContext
const item = sitecoreContext.item;
const fields = item.fields;
// ...
return (
<div>
{/* Render component with context item field data */}
</div>
);
}
}
export default withSitecoreContext(ComponentWithContextProps);

Issue Analysis

Based on the code review, it appears that the sitecoreContext object is not being populated correctly, resulting in an undefined value. There are several possible causes for this issue:

Missing or incorrect import: Ensure that the withSitecoreContext higher-order component (HOC) is correctly imported from @sitecore-jss/sitecore-jss-react.
Incorrect usage of withSitecoreContext: Verify that the withSitecoreContext HOC is applied correctly to the ComponentWithContextProps component.
Context item not available: Check if the context item is available in the sitecoreContext object. This could be due to a missing or incorrect item field in the sitecoreContext object.
Context item field data not available: Verify that the context item field data is available in the fields object.

Troubleshooting Steps

To resolve the issue, follow these troubleshooting steps:

Step 1: Verify Import and Usage of withSitecoreContext

Ensure that the withSitecoreContext HOC is correctly imported and applied to the ComponentWithContextProps component.

import { withSitecoreContext } from '@sitecore-jss/sitecore-jss-react';
class ComponentWithContextProps extends Component {
// ...
}
export default withSitecoreContext(ComponentWithContextProps);

Step 2: Check Context Item Availability

Verify that the context item is available in the sitecoreContext object.

const { sitecoreContext } = this.props;
console.log(sitecoreContext.item); // Check if context item is available

Step 3: Verify Context Item Field Data Availability

Verify that the context item field data is available in the fields object.

const { sitecoreContext } = this.props;
const item = sitecoreContext.item;
const fields = item.fields;
console.log(fields); // Check if context item field data is available

Step 4: Review Sitecore Context Configuration

Review the Sitecore context configuration to ensure that the context item is correctly configured.

// sitecoreContext.config.js
export default {
  // ...
  item: {
    // ...
  },
};

Conclusion

In conclusion, the sitecoreContext from ComponentWithContextProps is undefined issue in JSS and XM Cloud can be resolved by following the troubleshooting steps outlined above. By verifying the import and usage of the withSitecoreContext HOC, checking context item availability, verifying context item field data availability, and reviewing Sitecore context configuration, developers can resolve this issue and ensure that context item field data is correctly accessed in their Sitecore JSS components.

Q: What is the cause of the sitecoreContext from ComponentWithContextProps is undefined issue in JSS and XM Cloud?

A: The cause of this issue can be due to a missing or incorrect import of the withSitecoreContext higher-order component (HOC), incorrect usage of the withSitecoreContext HOC, context item not available, or context item field data not available.

Q: How do I verify the import and usage of the withSitecoreContext HOC?

A: To verify the import and usage of the withSitecoreContext HOC, ensure that it is correctly imported from @sitecore-jss/sitecore-jss-react and applied correctly to the ComponentWithContextProps component.

import { withSitecoreContext } from '@sitecore-jss/sitecore-jss-react';
class ComponentWithContextProps extends Component {
// ...
}
export default withSitecoreContext(ComponentWithContextProps);

Q: How do I check context item availability?

A: To check context item availability, verify that the context item is available in the sitecoreContext object.

const { sitecoreContext } = this.props;
console.log(sitecoreContext.item); // Check if context item is available

Q: How do I verify context item field data availability?

A: To verify context item field data availability, check that the context item field data is available in the fields object.

const { sitecoreContext } = this.props;
const item = sitecoreContext.item;
const fields = item.fields;
console.log(fields); // Check if context item field data is available

Q: What is the Sitecore context configuration, and how do I review it?

A: The Sitecore context configuration is a configuration file that defines the context item and its fields. To review the Sitecore context configuration, check the sitecoreContext.config.js file.

// sitecoreContext.config.js
export default {
  // ...
  item: {
    // ...
  },
};
