The AEM CIF Core Components project serves as accelerator to get started with projects using AEM, CIF and Magento. The project contains re-useable Commerce core components which combine server-side rendered AEM components with client-side React commerce components (MPA) for dynamic experiences / data. The components use the Venia theme1.
This project is intended to be used in conjunction with the AEM Sites Core Components. AEM CIF Core Components use the AEM Sites Core Components as a foundation where possible and extending them.
For starting a new project please have a look at our CIF archetype project. There you will also find a complete sample project that uses the WCM and CIF core components to deliver a stunning store-front experience.
See our wiki for usage and configuration instructions of the AEM CIF Core Components.

The latest version of the AEM CIF Core Components, require the below minimum system requirements:
| CIF Core Components | AEM 6.4 | AEM 6.5 | Magento | Java |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.6.0 | 6.4.4.0 | 6.5.0 | 2.3.2* / 2.3.3 | 1.8 |
| 0.5.0 | 6.4.4.0 | 6.5.0 | 2.3.2* / 2.3.3 | 1.8 |
| 0.4.0 | 6.4.4.0 | 6.5.0 | 2.3.2* | 1.8 |
| 0.3.0 | 6.4.4.0 | 6.5.0 | 2.3.1 / 2.3.2 | 1.8 |
| 0.2.0 | 6.4.4.0 | 6.5.0 | 2.3.1 / 2.3.2 | 1.8 |
| 0.1.0 | 6.4.4.0 | 6.5.0 | 2.3.1 | 1.8. |
* With version 0.4.0 we drop support for Magento 2.3.1 and only support 2.3.2. For version 2.3.2 we currently require the following 4 Magento GraphQL patches (#758, #665, #666, #906) installed on the Magento instance. Most of them will be included in upcomming Magento 2.3.3. release.
For a list of requirements for previous versions, see Historical System Requirements.
This project uses the AEM Commerce connector for Magento to improve the authoring experience by leveraging the product pickers, product assets view and consoles provided by the connector package.
This project relies on the AEM Sites Core Components. They are typically installed as part of AEM. If you install AEM without sample content option you have to deploy them manually before using the AEM CIF Core Components.
Starting with 2.3.2, Magento supports cache-able GraphQL requests and starting with version 0.2.1 the CIF core components will use it by default. To make the components work with Magento 2.3.1 you can manually disable this feature in the following locations:
- For client-side components: CommerceGraphqlApi.js
- Clone this repository.
- Run a
mvn clean installin the root folder to install the artifacts to your local Maven repository. - Switch to the
allproject and run amvn clean install content-package:install.
Here is a full video walk-through of the setup process.
This project relies on the AEM 6.4.4 cq-quickstart UberJar. This is publicly available on https://repo.adobe.com
For more details about the UberJar please head over to the How to Build AEM Projects using Apache Maven documentation page.
The released version of the AEM CIF Core Components are available on the maven central repository. To include the AEM CIF Core Components package into your own project maven build you can add the dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>com.adobe.commerce.cif</groupId>
<artifactId>core-cif-components-all</artifactId>
<type>zip</type>
<version>x.y.z</version>
</dependency>
and sub package section
<subPackage>
<groupId>com.adobe.commerce.cif</groupId>
<artifactId>core-cif-components-all</artifactId>
<filter>true</filter>
</subPackage>
to the content-package-maven-plugin.
You also need to add the AEM Commerce connector for Magento all package, see above. Make sure you add that as a dependency as well.
To connect the AEM CIF Core Components with your Magento instance follow the configuration steps. For a multi store / site setup one additional step is needed to link an AEM site to a Magento store view.
For customizing CIF Core Components, we provide use cases and examples in our documentation at Customizing CIF Core Components.
The client-side JavaScript code of the components is covered using Mocha unit tests executed with Karma. Please make sure that for every contribution new client-side code is covered by tests and that all tests pass.
cd ui.apps
npm install
npm testKarma will test with Chrome and Firefox. Make sure you have both browsers installed.
You can find the code formatting rules in the eclipse-formatter.xml file. The code formatting is automatically checked for each build. To automatically format your code, please run:
mvn clean install -Pformat-codeFor formatting JavaScript and CSS we use prettier. The formatting is automatically checked when running npm test in the ui.apps project. To automatically format your code, please run the following command in ui.apps:
npm run prettier:fixWe use webpack to build our clientlibs. Please read Packing Clientlibs with Webpack for more information.
Releases of this project are triggered by manually running mvn release:prepare release:clean on the master branch on the root folder of this repository. Once you choose the release and the next snapshot versions, this commits the change along with a release git tag like for example core-cif-components-reactor-x.y.z. Note that the commits are not automatically pushed to the git repository, so you have some time to check your changes and then manually push them. The push then triggers a dedicated CircleCI build that performs the deployment of the tagged artifact to Maven Central.
Important: this project does Maven reactor releases, do not trigger releases from sub modules!
