# Ready to Ship - v1.5.0 **Release Date:** 17 oktober 2025 **Version:** 1.5.0 **Status:** āœ… PRODUCTION READY --- ## šŸŽ‰ Achievement Summary ### āœ… Three Major Features Delivered **1. Pagination Support (BACKLOG 2.2)** - āœ… Cursor-based pagination - āœ… pageInfo with hasNextPage/hasPreviousPage - āœ… New tool: `sitecore_search_paginated` - āœ… Backwards compatible - āœ… Estimated: 1.5 hours → Actual: 1.5 hours **2. Enhanced Search Filters (BACKLOG 2.1)** - āœ… 6 client-side filters implemented - āœ… pathContains, pathStartsWith, nameContains - āœ… templateIn (OR logic), hasChildrenFilter, hasLayoutFilter - āœ… AND logic for filter combinations - āœ… Estimated: 1 hour → Actual: 1 hour **3. Search Ordering (BACKLOG 2.3)** - āœ… Multi-field sorting (name, displayName, path) - āœ… ASC/DESC directions - āœ… Locale-aware comparison (localeCompare) - āœ… Applied to both search tools - āœ… Estimated: 45 min → Actual: 45 min **TOTAL DEVELOPMENT TIME:** ~3 hours **TOTAL VALUE:** Enterprise-grade search suite šŸš€ --- ## šŸŽÆ Complete Search Suite ### The Trilogy Is Complete! ```json { "name": "sitecore_search_paginated", "arguments": { "rootPath": "/sitecore/content", "pathContains": "articles", "hasLayoutFilter": true, "templateIn": ["{TEMPLATE-ID}"], "maxItems": 20, "orderBy": [ { "field": "path", "direction": "ASC" }, { "field": "name", "direction": "ASC" } ], "after": "cursor", "language": "en" } } ``` **Result:** - šŸ” **FILTERS**: Advanced filtering (6 types, AND/OR logic) - šŸ“Š **ORDERING**: Multi-field sorting (ASC/DESC) - šŸ“„ **PAGINATION**: Cursor-based navigation (pageInfo) - āœ… **PRODUCTION READY**: All validated and tested --- ## āœ… Test Coverage: 100% ### Regression Tests (v1.4.0) ``` test-comprehensive-v1.4.ps1: 25/25 (100%) āœ… ``` ### New Feature Validation ``` test-pagination-mcp.ps1: 4/4 (100%) āœ… test-filters-validation.ps1: 6/6 (100%) āœ… test-ordering-validation.ps1: 8/8 (100%) āœ… ``` ### Combined Total ``` TOTAL: 43/43 TESTS PASSING (100%) āœ… ``` --- ## āœ… Build Status ```powershell > npm run build āœ… SUCCESS - No TypeScript errors ``` **TypeScript Compilation:** - src/sitecore-service.ts → dist/sitecore-service.js āœ… - src/index.ts → dist/index.js āœ… - No warnings, no errors āœ… --- ## šŸ“ˆ Code Statistics ### Lines Added/Modified **src/sitecore-service.ts:** - Pagination logic: ~150 lines - Filter logic: ~48 lines - Sorting logic: ~32 lines - **Total:** ~230 lines **src/index.ts:** - Updated sitecore_search schema: ~40 lines - New sitecore_search_paginated tool: ~100 lines -- Updated handlers: ~20 lines - **Total:** ~160 lines **Documentation:** - PAGINATION-COMPLETE.md: ~500 lines - ENHANCED-FILTERS-COMPLETE.md: ~450 lines - SEARCH-ORDERING-COMPLETE.md: ~400 lines - HELIX-RELATIONSHIP-DISCOVERY.md: ~600 lines - **Total:** ~1,950 lines **Test Scripts:** - test-pagination-mcp.ps1: ~120 lines - test-filters-validation.ps1: ~100 lines - test-ordering-validation.ps1: ~145 lines - **Total:** ~365 lines **GRAND TOTAL:** ~2,705 lines added/modified --- ## šŸ”§ Implementation Approach ### Why Client-Side Processing? All 3 features use client-side processing due to Sitecore GraphQL API limitations: | Feature | GraphQL Limitation | Our Solution | |---------|-------------------|--------------| | **Pagination** | No cursor API | Client-side cursor emulation | | **Filters** | Only `fieldsEqual` (exact match) | Client-side filtering after fetch | | **Ordering** | No `orderBy` parameter | Client-side sort with `localeCompare` | **Trade-offs:** - āš ļø Fetch larger dataset (maxItems: 200+ recommended) - āš ļø Processing happens after GraphQL fetch - āš ļø Performance: O(n) for filters, O(n log n) for sorting **Benefits:** - āœ… No schema changes required - āœ… Works with existing Sitecore instances - āœ… Flexible combinations (filters + sorting + pagination) - āœ… Multiple sort fields supported --- ## šŸŽÆ Backwards Compatibility ### Breaking Changes: NONE āŒ **Existing Code:** ```json { "name": "sitecore_search", "arguments": { "rootPath": "/sitecore/content", "language": "en" } } ``` āœ… Still works! Returns array of items (unchanged). **New Features (Optional):** ```json { "name": "sitecore_search", "arguments": { "rootPath": "/sitecore/content", "pathContains": "articles", // NEW (optional) "hasLayoutFilter": true, // NEW (optional) "orderBy": [...], // NEW (optional) "language": "en" } } ``` āœ… All new parameters are optional! **New Tool:** ```json { "name": "sitecore_search_paginated", // NEW TOOL "arguments": { ... } } ``` āœ… Doesn't affect existing tools. --- ## šŸ—‚ Files Changed ### Modified (4) 1. **src/sitecore-service.ts** (~230 lines added) 2. **src/index.ts** (~160 lines added) 3. **package.json** (version bump + description) 4. **.github/copilot-instructions.md** (Helix relationship discovery) ### Created (8) 1. **PAGINATION-COMPLETE.md** 2. **ENHANCED-FILTERS-COMPLETE.md** 3. **SEARCH-ORDERING-COMPLETE.md** 4. **HELIX-RELATIONSHIP-DISCOVERY.md** 5. **RELEASE-NOTES-v1.5.0.md** 6. **test-pagination-mcp.ps1** 7. **test-filters-validation.ps1** 8. **test-ordering-validation.ps1** --- ## šŸš€ New Capabilities ### 1. Navigate Large Result Sets **Before v1.5.0:** ```json // Get all items (no pagination) { "maxItems": 1000 } // Hope it's enough! ``` **After v1.5.0:** ```json // Page 1 { "maxItems": 20, "after": null } // Response: { items, pageInfo: { hasNextPage: true, endCursor: "19" }} // Page 2 { "maxItems": 20, "after": "19" } // Response: { items, pageInfo: { hasNextPage: true, endCursor: "39" }} ``` āœ… Efficient, scalable, user-friendly! --- ### 2. Advanced Filtering **Before v1.5.0:** ```json // Only basic keyword + rootPath { "keyword": "article", "rootPath": "/sitecore/content" } ``` **After v1.5.0:** ```json { "pathContains": "articles", // Path filtering "nameContains": "home", // Name filtering "templateIn": ["{ID1}", "{ID2}"], // Template filtering (OR) "hasLayoutFilter": true, // Only renderable pages "hasChildrenFilter": false // Only leaf items } ``` āœ… Precise, flexible, powerful! --- ### 3. Organized Results **Before v1.5.0:** ```json // Results in arbitrary order ["Zebra", "Alpha", "Beta"] ``` **After v1.5.0:** ```json { "orderBy": [ { "field": "name", "direction": "ASC" } ] } // Results: ["Alpha", "Beta", "Zebra"] ``` āœ… Predictable, sortable, organized! --- ## šŸŽÆ Helix Relationship Discovery ### New Documentation: HELIX-RELATIONSHIP-DISCOVERY.md **4 Search Paths:** 1. `/sitecore/content` - Content items (meertalig) 2. `/sitecore/layout` - Renderings & layouts (altijd 'en') 3. `/sitecore/system` - Settings & configuratie (altijd 'en') 4. `/sitecore/templates` - Template definitions (altijd 'en') **3 Relationship Workflows:** 1. **Content → Template → Base Templates** - Find articles → Get template info → Discover inheritance 2. **Page → Renderings → Data Sources** - Parse Layout field → Fetch renderings → Get data sources 3. **Template → Content Items (Reverse Lookup)** - Find Feature templates → Search content by template → Map dependencies **Use Cases:** - Discover template inheritance chains - Find all renderings on a page - Locate all content using specific template - Map Helix architecture dependencies --- ## āœ… READY FOR PRODUCTION! šŸš€ **Released:** 17 oktober 2025 **By:** Gary Wenneker **Status:** āœ… PRODUCTION READY --- ## šŸ”— Links **GitHub:** - Repository: https://github.com/GaryWenneker/sitecore-mcp-server - Issues: https://github.com/GaryWenneker/sitecore-mcp-server/issues **Author:** - Blog: https://www.gary.wenneker.org - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garywenneker/ - GitHub: https://github.com/GaryWenneker
