Hello everyone! Time for another rollup of all the changes that have been happening on the Sitecore Developer Portal since our last update in April. This quarter focused on how we can get more enablement content out for developers, and lay the ground work for the new XM Cloud product.

As a leader for Developer Relations, I wanted to see if this was true for our developer audience as well, so I looked at the data for the Developer Portal. The distribution was really similar, though with some minor differences in percentages. Southern Asia sits at 22% instead of 23% and the European subcontinents now add up to 28%. All in all, though, it seems our developer audience distribution matches pretty well with our community forums distribution.

Do you have an idea? We welcome feedback and suggestions in our GitHub repo: https://github.com/Sitecore/developer-portal

Now, it's time to consume our API. We'll use React for this tutorail, but feel free to use any other framework you prefer; the process remains the same. Additionally, we'll utilize SWR to fetch data from the API and TypeScript to ensure type safety.

'use client'; import FormPostUpdate from './components/FormPostUpdate/FormPostUpdate'; import FormDelete from '../app/components/FormDelete/FormDelete'; import { useFetch } from './hooks/useFetch'; import { useFetchSWR } from './hooks/useFetchSWR'; import Chart from './components/Chart/Chart'; export default function Home() { // Uncomment the code below and comment out the "useFetch" code if your want to use SWR for data fetching --> https://swr.vercel.app/docs/with-nextjs // const { data, error, isLoading } = useFetchSWR( // 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/anime/' // ); // Uses the Fetch API for data fetching const { data, error, isLoading } = useFetch( 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/anime/' ); if (error) return

An error has occurred.

; if (isLoading) return

Loading...

; console.log(data); return ( <>

POST: Add Anime Form

UPDATE: Update Anime Form

Select an ID from the list. You can change the data for Anime ID, Name and Release.

DELETE: Delete Anime Form

GET: Anime Data List

{data.map((anime) => (

• {anime.anime_name}

• ID: {anime.id}
• Anime ID: {anime.anime_id}
• Anime Release Year: {anime.anime_release}

))}

); }

There are libraries like SWR, RTK Query, and React Query that simplify the data fetching process on the client and take care of the state, error handling, caching, and re-fetching for you.

Then install the package SWR into your application with the following command:

SWR

I would suggest taking a look at SWR [0]. I think it strikes a very nice balance between using fetch and something more heavy-handed like React Query.
