Getting Started for developers

This guide will get you started working with Bizzkit CMS.

Bizzkit Single Sign On

To work with the CMS, you need a Builder account that serves as a central place to manage organizations, spaces, users, etc. In order to authenticate with your Builder spaces the same way as you do for any of the Bizzkit applications, you need to configure SSO with your Auth/Iam in Bizzkit Commerce Cloud. For the best experience, we recommend configuring SSO in Builder at the organization level. If you have multiple Auth/Iam deployments in Bizzkit Commerce Cloud, you are free to choose either one to use for SSO. However, we recommend using your production deployment of Auth/Iam for SSO, since this has the highest availability.

In order to configure SSO in Builder, navigate to the organization settings and click “Edit” on “Single Sign-On”:

Configuring SSO in your Builder organization

You are free to choose a display name of your liking.

The SSO name should be in the format of oidc.bizzkit-CompanyName, where CompanyName is the name you chose when signing up for Bizzkit Commerce Cloud.

However, the rest of the fields must be retrieved by calling the IAM REST API: POST /api/builder endpoint. The easiest way to do this is to visit Iam Swagger UI for your solution. Alternatively you can use the Bizzkit.Sdk.Iam to get the necessary information.

In Builder the used login MUST be administrator of the space.

In Iam the used login MUST have the Manage System Configuration Permission.

Please reach out to your Bizzkit contact for more information on how to get your Builder account.

Bizzkit Plugins

To integrate the CMS with Bizzkit products like Ecommerce Search, PIM and DAM you need to install the Bizzkit plugins. See Plugins for more information.

Registering Plugins

Plugins must first be registered within a space in Builder before they are available to users. This can be done by first navigating to the settings of the desired space, and then within the Integrations category, click “Edit” in Plugins:

Plugin registration

Then insert the URLs where each of the plugins you wish to include and save:

The URLs from the Bizzkit products will be as follows:

Using Plugins

The plugins offered by Bizzkit are of a kind called "Editor plugin". This means that they can be used as types for Builder model fields:

Selecting Bizzkit types

Then, while creating new content of your model, the custom field editor is display for inserting data for that field:

Using Plugins with Custom Components

Similarly to data models, editor plugins can also be used as input types in custom components:

Using plugins in custom components

This will ensure that users can only select values provided by the plugin integration, while also providing an easy-to-use interface.

Reference

The plugins can be referenced by their respective type names, and contain their own payload format as described in the list below. It's also important to note that only some of the plugins can be used as targeting attributes.

Bizzkit Components

All Bizzkit components are based on React and TypeScript and integrated in Bizzkit Blueprint. Signed customers and Bizzkit solution partners can get access to the codebase and use the components as is or change them in anyway needed.

Please contact your Bizzkit contact for more information.

Page designer and website authentication

In some cases, the webpage used for previewing and editing content within Builder is behind authentication, which might not work out of the box due to restrictions related to iframes. In such cases, it's recommended setting up authentication using "popup mode", which is not bound to the same restrictions as iframes. An example can be seen here using the oidc-client-ts library.

Furthermore, it's necessary to enable form submission for all Builder page and section models, so the login forms can be properly submitted. This can be done by navigating to the settings for a given model, and then toggling "Enable Preview Iframe form submission" on in the "Advanced" tab.
