To Set up a Local AEM Development Environment:

Setting up a local development environment is the first step when developing for Adobe Experience Manager or AEM. Take the time to set up a quality development environment to increase your productivity and write better code, faster. We can break an AEM local development environment into 4 areas:

  • Local AEM instances
  • Apache Maven project
  • Integrated Development Environments (IDE)
  • Troubleshooting

Install local AEM Instances

When we refer to a local AEM instance, we are talking about a copy of Adobe Experience Manager that is running on a developer’s personal machine. All AEM development should start by writing and running code against a local AEM instance.

If you are new to AEM, there are two basic run modes can be installed: Author and Publish. The Author runmode is the environment that digital marketers will use to create and manage content. When developing most of the time you will be deploying code to an Author instance. This allows you to create new pages as well as add and configure components. AEM Sites is a WYSIWYG authoring CMS and therefore most of the CSS and JavaScript can be tested against an authoring instance.

It is also critical test code against a local Publish instance. The Publish instance is the AEM environment that visitors to your website will interact with. While the Publish instance is the same technology stack as the Author instance, there are some major distinctions with configurations and permissions. Code should always be tested against a local Publishinstance before being promoted to higher level environments.

Steps:

            ~/aem-sdk
                /author
                /publish

  • Rename the QuickStart JAR to aem-author-p4502.jar and place it beneath the /author directory. Add the license.properties file beneath the /author directory.

  • Make a copy of the QuickStart JAR, rename it to aem-publish-p4503.jar and place it beneath the /publish directory. Add a copy of the license.properties file beneath the /publish directory.

    ~/aem-sdk
    /author
        + aem-author-p4502.jar
        + license.properties
    /publish
        + aem-publish-p4503.jar
        + license.properties

    • Double-click the aem-author-p4502.jar file to install the Author instance. This will start the author instance, running on port 4502 on the local computer.
    • Double-click the aem-publish-p4503.jar file to install the Publish instance. This will start the Publish instance, running on port 4503 on the local computer.


    NOTE

    Depending on your development machine’s hardware it may be difficult to have both an Author and Publish instance running at the same time. Rarely do you need to run both simultaneously on a local setup.

    Install Apache Maven

    Apache Maven is a tool to manage the build and deploy procedure for Java-based projects. AEM is a Java-based platform and Maven is the standard way to manage code for an AEM project. When we say AEM Maven Project or just your AEM Project, we are referring to a Maven project that includes all of the custom code for your site.

    All AEM projects should be built off the latest version of the AEM Project Archetype: https://github.com/adobe/aem-project-archetype. The AEM Project Archetype will create a bootstrap of an AEM project with some sample code and content. The AEM Project Archetype also includes AEM WCM Core Components configured to be used on your project.

    CAUTION

    When starting a new project it is a best practice to use the latest version of the archetype. Keep in mind that there are multiple versions of the archetype and not all versions are compatible with earlier versions of AEM

    Steps

    1. Download Apache Maven

    2. Install Apache Maven and ensure that the installation has been added to your command-line PATH.

      • macOS users can install Maven using Homebrew

    3. Verify that Maven is installed by opening a new command line terminal and executing the following:

      
$ mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.3.9
Maven home: /Library/apache-maven-3.3.9
Java version: 1.8.0_111, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_111.jdk/Contents/Home/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8


    NOTE

    In the past the addition of adobe-public Maven profile was needed to point nexus.adobe.com to download AEM artifacts. All AEM artifacts are now available via Maven Central and the adobe-public profile is not needed.

    Now you have AEM Instance with default project called we-retail

    Data-sly-list & Data-sly-repeat

    Image
      AEM Sightly : Data-sly-list : the most powerful block statement of sightly which iterate the collection return from the slingModel.  Data-sly-list can handle any kind of collection like: Example : <div  data-sly-use. variable_name =“com.aem.package_name.core.models.Interfaceclass_name”></div>// this is used to call the slingModel <div data-sly-list. item =“${ variable_name . InterfaceMethod_Name}”> // item is the default variable provided by Slightly & you can give any name ${ item } </div> *note: Map don’t give ordered list, It gives random list. —> We can control loop’s in slightly using begin, end. Example: <div data-sly-list. item =“${ variable_name .InterfaceMethod_Name @ begin =0, end =3}”>  // the loop gives 4 values ${ item } </div>  —> Slightly provide some methods like: count, even, odd, middle…etc. Example: <div data-sly-list. item =“${ variable_name .InterfaceMethod_Name}”> ${ ite...

    Java HashMap

      HashMap: HashMap contain data in form of : Keys & Values = Pair(we call it as Pair) Key’s should be Unique and Values can be duplicate. The Keys and Values can be any DataType. To Store Pairs in a variable that should be a “ Map.Entry ” DataType like Object datatype in ArrayList. To read the values from the “ Map.Entry Variable ” we should use methods like: variable.getKey(); variable.getValue() ; * Note:   the name of the Object becomes the name of the HashMap.      ▪  HashMap Declaration : Two ways we can declare HashMap. To Store any DataType of pairs(key, value): HashMap objectName = new HashMap(); Example: HashMap obj = new HashMap();     2.  To Store Required DataType of pairs(key, value):             HashMap <key _DataType, value_DataType>   objectName = new HashMap                <key _DataType, value_DataType> ();  ...

    Java Packages

    Java Packages: A Java Package is a simple kind of a folder which contain a similar   kind of classes, Suppose a classes which are belongs to some functionality will be there in one package the other classes which are belongs to other functionality belongs to other packages. And later if you want to get that class in some other class we will refer that class by using Package Name, So a Java Package is a collection of classes,Interfaces or some files. In realTime the PackageName are like com.ProjectName.CompanyName like this . So If there are two packages with classes:  Package1 {classA, classB,….} & Package2{classX, classY,….}: To access classA from Package2 we need Import & extend keywords Syntax: Import PackageName.className; classX extend classA { // here we can use classA } How to create Sub-Package: Right click on parent package and click on   New—>Package: give name as  “Parent-PackageName.Sub-PackageName” and Finish. These ...
