Hi Folks.

We are using Fortis for our latest Sitecore project, and we are interested in using Transitus. I am new to the entire Fortis environment, so I'm getting lost in the weeds somewhat with where Transitus fits in with Fortis and how to use it.

Does any documentation exist to speak to this?

Hey,

Sorry for the delayed response! Transitus' purpose is to help with code generation when you can't use something like Team Development for Sitecore. Not sure if you've checked out the page on the website (http://fortis.ws/fortis-collection/transitus/) as it has a little explanation.

If you check out the console application (https://github.com/Fortis-Collection/transitus/blob/master/Source/Transitus.Console/Program.cs) you can see how Transitus is being used. It takes a folder which contains serialised items from Sitecore and then gives you strongly typed objects. If you're using something like Unicorn to do your serialisation then you could use Transitus to read those files.

I hope this helps.

It does, thank you. We were trying to use it with TDS, as we thought it was essentially the codegen/deserialization aspect of fortis pulled out into its own project. It didn't quite fit, this explains why.

Thanks!
