GraphQL

When developing with Sitecore JSS, you can use 2 approaches for shaping JSON data for a rendering in LayoutService output: using a Rendering Contents Resolver or integrated GraphQL. They are mutually exclusive by design, however, there are situations when you might want to use both of them for the same rendering.

Quite often in Sitecore development you have to work with hierarchical item structures, which resemble your data model. Example could be a multi-level menu or, as in my case, forms. At the time of writing, out-of-the-box Sitecore JSS is not able to serialize item structures with arbitrary number of levels deep into a JSON tree. Luckily, like the most of Sitecore functionality, JSS is easily customizable ;)
