Quick Start

Register ContentApp

using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Dashboards;
using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models.ContentEditing;
using Umbraco.Community.SimpleContentApps.Core;

namespace Umbraco.Community.SimpleContentApps.TestSite;

public class BasicContentApp : ISimpleContentApp
{
    public string Icon => Cms.Core.Constants.Icons.Content;
    public bool ShowInContent => true;
    public bool ShowInContentType => false;
    public bool ShowInMedia => false;
    public bool ShowInMembers => false;
    public IAccessRule[] Rules => new[] { SimpleAccessRule.AllowAdminGroup };
    public int Weight => 0;
    public string Name => "Basic Content App";
    public string? CultureName(string? currentUiCulture) => Name;
    public ContentAppBadge? Badge => ContentAppBadges.None;
}

Create View

• Your view must go in /Views/ContentApps
• You view must be the name of your C# class (without ContentApp)
  • For example: BasicContentApp.cs => /Views/ContentApps/Basic.cshtml

@inherits Umbraco.Community.SimpleContentApps.Web.ContentAppViewPage

<h1>Hello Umbraco</h1>
<p>My ContentApp alias is: @Model.ContentApp.Alias()</p>

View Component Example

• Your View Component should match the name of your C# class plus ViewComponent.cs
  • For example: BasicContentApp.cs => BasicContentAppViewComponent.cs
• Your View Component must inherit either:
  • SimpleContentAppViewComponent
  • SimpleContentAppAsyncViewComponent

public class BasicContentAppViewComponent : SimpleContentAppAsyncViewComponent
{
    public override Task<IViewComponentResult> InvokeAsync(SimpleContentAppModel model)
    {
        // Complex business logic
        var viewModel = await _service.CreateViewModel(model);
        // ...
        return View("~/Views/MyPath/MyView.cshtml", viewModel);
    }
}
