how to get rendering variant using c#

Question

I have a list of renderings used in an item. I used below code

Sitecore.Layouts.RenderingReference[] renderings = null;
renderings = Sitecore.Context.Item.Visualization.GetRenderings(Sitecore.Context.Device, true);
foreach (var rendering in renderings){

}

Is it possible to get which rendering variant is being used for all renderings? These all are SXA renderings.

Answer 1

You can access the rendering variant through rendering parameters. As it's a drop-down, it provides you with the GUID i.e the Sitecore ID of the rendering variant. Subsequently, you can retrieve its details through the GetItem method. Please refer the below code,

Sitecore.Layouts.RenderingReference[] renderings = null;
renderings = Sitecore.Context.Item.Visualization.GetRenderings(Sitecore.Context.Device, true);
foreach (var rendering in renderings){
 var parms = rendering.Parameters;
 renderingVariantItemID= parms["Variant"]; 
 Item renderingVariantItem = rSitecore.Context.Database.GetItem(new ID(renderingVariantItemID));
}

Answer 2

Sitecore.Layouts.RenderingReference[] renderings = Sitecore.Context.Item.Visualization.GetRenderings(Sitecore.Context.Device, true);

foreach (var rendering in renderings) { // Check if the rendering is an SXA rendering if (rendering.RenderingItem != null && rendering.RenderingItem.InnerItem.TemplateName.Equals("Rendering Variant")) { // Get the rendering variant ID from the rendering settings var variantId = rendering.Settings["Variation ID"];

    // Get the rendering variant item based on the ID
    var variantItem = Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem(variantId);

    // You can now access properties of the rendering variant item, such as its name
    if (variantItem != null)
    {
        var variantName = variantItem["Name"];
        // Do something with the rendering variant information
    }
}

}
