Has Sitecore 8 built-in support for MVC areas?

Is Sitecore 8 has built-in support for MVC areas? Or do I still need to install sitecore plugins?

Thanks

Solution

  • Quoting Kevin Brechbühl (from The Sitecore MVC puzzle):

    Sitecore has no support for areas out of the box, but there are multiple solutions available for integrate them in your solutions:

    1. Resolve the area in the mvc.renderRendering-pipeline
    2. Use a custom ControllerRunner and a custom Renderer
    3. Resolve the area by the configurations

    We also saw that Sitecore is working on a solution to integrate areas into the core. Rumor has it that they will integrate a similar pattern as BrainJocks does with the mvc.renderRendering pipeline.
