Digital Experience Site for React UI Bundles
Create and configure Digital Experience Sites that host React UI bundles on Salesforce. This skill generates the minimum necessary site infrastructure — Network, CustomSite, DigitalExperienceConfig, DigitalExperienceBundle, and the sfdc_cms__site content type — so a React app can be served from Salesforce.
React sites differ from standard LWR sites: they don't need routes, views, theme layouts, or branding sets. The site acts as a thin container (appContainer: true) that delegates rendering to the React UI bundle referenced by appSpace.
Required Properties
Resolve all five properties before generating any metadata. Each has a fallback chain — work through each option in order until a value is found.
| Property | Format | How to Resolve |
|---|---|---|
| siteName | UpperCamelCase (e.g., MyCommunity) |
Ask user or derive from context |
| siteUrlPathPrefix | All lowercase (e.g., mycommunity) |
User-provided, or convert siteName to all lowercase with alphanumeric characters only |
| appNamespace | String | namespace in sfdx-project.json → sf data query -q "SELECT NamespacePrefix FROM Organization" --target-org ${usernameOrAlias} → default c |
| appDevName | String | UIBundle metadata in the project → sf data query -q "SELECT DeveloperName FROM UIBundle" --target-org ${usernameOrAlias} → default to siteName |
| enableGuestAccess | Boolean | Ask user whether unauthenticated guest users can access site APIs → default false |
The appNamespace and appDevName properties connect the site to the correct React application. Getting these wrong means the site deploys but shows a blank page, so take care to resolve them from real project data.
