SCA Framework Technologies

SuiteCommerce Advanced (SCA) source files are organized in modules. To learn how these modules work together to create Commerce web store applications, you must understand the underlying technologies that the application is built on. To implement these technologies, SCA uses several third-party libraries that are common in web-based ecommerce applications.

Note:

These topics refer to SCA implementations. SuiteCommerce source also follows this framework; however, you create themes and extensions to customize SuiteCommerce. Extensions interact with the Extensibility API, and are handled using specific developer tools and practices. For information, see Benefits of the Extension Framework, Develop Themes, and Develop Extensions.

Depending on your implementation of SCA, the application relies on either JavaScript or TypeScript to enhance large project development efficiency and scalability. The 2019.2 release of SCA and later uses TypeScript, while earlier releases use JavaScript.

To discover more about these technologies, review the following sections:

• TypeScript

• Model View Controller (MVC) and Backbone.js

• Asynchronous Module Definitions (AMD) and RequireJS

• Logic-less Templates and Handlebars.js
