  • SXA just an add on module, anything you can do in Sitecore without SXA you can do with SXA. You would create the view just like a normal view rendering.

  • @RichardSeal Can you provide any links on how to access the fields in .cshtml file with the help of SXA similar to the way we do in Sitecore.

You can create controller rendering in SXA and use Sitecore APIs to fetch the item data onto the model from the page and add your custom rendering to

Presentation --> available renderings --> Page structure.

Try this,

Create a custom view rendering and use this code in your .csthml file.

@using Sitecore.XA.Foundation.RenderingVariants.Extensions
@using Sitecore.XA.Foundation.SitecoreExtensions.Extensions
@using Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Variants.Abstractions.Fields
@model Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Variants.Abstractions.Models.VariantsRenderingModel

@if (Model.DataSourceItem != null || Html.Sxa().IsEdit)
{
    if (Model.DataSourceItem == null)
    {
        --- USE Model.DataSourceItem to get fields.

You will be able to get the fields from your datasource template.

Thanks
