[Announcement] New feature to make links environment-aware

[robert-bogos]

Motivation:

Multiple reporters have faced the same issue on Milo pages where links, mostly authored with Production URLs, were not converting to their Stage counterparts when in the Stage environment.

Description:

To resolve this, we’ve introduced a feature that converts these links, making them environment-aware. This enhancement enables E2E testing in Stage environments, benefiting all Milo consumers.

Usage:

To activate this feature, Milo consumers need to add a stageDomainsMap JSON to the config they set in their page loading script.

The stageDomainsMap JSON would be formatted as follows:

const stageDomainsMap = { 
'www.adobe.com': 'www.stage.adobe.com', 
'blog.adobe.com': 'blog.stage.adobe.com', 
'business.adobe.com': 'business.stage.adobe.com', 
'helpx.adobe.com': 'helpx.stage.adobe.com', 
'news.adobe.com': 'news.stage.adobe.com', 
}; 

and will determine which domains would be converted to what Stage counterpart.

Example:

An example of integrating this can be found in here.

Cool, I know we had a lot of back and forth around this one and decided to make this a config as there is no consistency across the stage environments and we can't be opinionated from a milo perspective about that one.

Lovely to see the announcement being sent out and helping to make stage and the stage-user-journey more consistent!

The discussion is no longer relevant as this feature was refactored. Another discussion around that was opened in here.
