Create doc types, media types and data types for Umbraco 7 using a code-first approach. Inspired by USiteBuilder.
PM> Install-Package UCreate
The only configuration you'll need to get started is an app setting in your web.config. This tells UCreate to sync your doc types, media types and data types on application start.
...
<appSettings>
...
<add key="UCreateSyncEnabled" value="true" />
...
</appSettings>
...Doc types support property inheritance. Here is a list of available icons.
[DocType(Name = "Page With Title",
Icon = "icon-zip color-blue",
AllowedAsRoot = true,
AllowedTemplates = new[] { "PageWithTitle" },
DefaultTemplate = "PageWithTitle")]
public class PageWithTitle : BaseDocType
{
public PageWithTitle(IPublishedContent content) : base(content)
{ }
[Property(Alias = "heading", TypeName = PropertyTypes.Textstring, Description = "Heading for page", Mandatory = true, TabName = "Content")]
public string Heading { get; set; }
}Media types support property inheritance.
[MediaType(Name = "Folder With Cover",
Icon = "icon-folder color-blue",
AllowedAsRoot = true,
IsContainer = true,
AllowedTypes = new[] { "FolderWithCover", "Image" })]
public class FolderWithCover
{
[Property(Alias = "coverImage", TypeName = PropertyTypes.MediaPicker, Description = "Cover image.", Mandatory = true)]
public string CoverImage { get; set; }
}[DataType(EditorAlias = Umbraco.Core.Constants.PropertyEditors.ColorPickerAlias,
Name = "Nice Color Picker",
Key = "1bfca1e7-95d0-485e-bd94-9fe9c2b8821f",
DBType = DataTypeDatabaseType.Nvarchar)]
public class NiceColorPicker : IHasPreValues
{
/// <summary>
/// Implementing PreValues
/// </summary>
public IDictionary<string, PreValue> PreValues
{
get
{
return new Dictionary<string, PreValue> {
{"1", new PreValue("ff00ff")},
{"2", new PreValue("1f00f1")},
{"3", new PreValue("123123")},
{"4", new PreValue("ffffff")}
};
}
}
}In order to use your doc types on the front-end you need to enable the PublishedContentModel factory. UCreate can do this for you if add the following app setting:
...
<appSettings>
...
<add key="UCreatePublishedModelsEnabled" value="true" />
...
</appSettings>
...Then using the doc types in your views is pretty simple.
