Packaging with Sitecore CLI

Resource packages (.dat files) can be generated using the Sitecore CLI and two scripts in the ps/ folder.

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK
• Sitecore CLI local tool (restored via dotnet tool restore)

Setup (first time)

dotnet tool restore

Scripts

ps/Generate-Modules.ps1

Scans all Unicorn serialization configs under src/Feature and src/Foundation and generates a *.module.json file per configuration into modules/Feature/ and modules/Foundation/.

.\ps\Generate-Modules.ps1

ps/Generate-Dat.ps1

Reads every *.module.json under modules/ and produces one .dat resource package per module into the _out/ folder using dotnet sitecore res-pkg create.

.\ps\Generate-Dat.ps1

Full workflow

dotnet tool restore          # once, or after cloning
.\ps\Generate-Modules.ps1   # regenerate module definitions from Unicorn configs
.\ps\Generate-Dat.ps1       # build .dat packages into _out/
