Package: Simple Content Apps

Umbraco CMS allows developers to extend the Backoffice by adding custom content apps. Check the Umbraco docs to learn more.

So, anything wrong this time?

Nope.

Follow the guide and within a short time you'll have a content app working.

You know it could be easier though...

Sometimes you just want to smash something together, and sometimes that needs to be within a content app.

Introducing my opinionated way to get started creating a content app in the easiest way possible.

Install Package

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

@using Umbraco.Community.SimpleContentApps.Core.Extensions
@inherits Umbraco.Community.SimpleContentApps.Web.SimpleContentAppViewPage

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

Open the Backoffice

And as easy as that you have your first Simple Content App🥳
