Umbraco Package Templates

This repository contains some templates for starting new Umbraco package projects, and adding things to existing Umbraco projects.

The templates can be used via the dotnet new command.

UI Examples

One of the templates being developed adds a 'UI Examples' section to your Umbraco website. UI Examples has also been released as a package on Our, so you can add this to your site by installing that package from there. The source code for UI Examples is in the Item Template, and has its own contribution guidelines.

Pre-requisite

You must be using Visual Studio 2019 to work with these templates.

Installation

You can install all the templates from a NuGet package:

dotnet new -i Umbraco.Tools.Packages.Templates

Updating

To check for any updates you can run the dotnet new --update-check command.

The dotnet new --update-apply command will update any of the installed template packages you have installed.

Usage

All Umbraco package templates are prefixed umbraco-. To see what Umbraco related templates you have installed:

dotnet new umbraco -l

You can get a list of all available templates in the docs

Example: To start a new package project

Supply the name of the project on the command line, this will setup the namespaces and folders within the project:

dotnet new umbraco-v8-package -n MySuperNewPackage

---

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please read our Contribution Guidelines for the steps to add new templates.

Developing your own templates

If you want to develop/extend these templates for your own use you should install them individually from your source folder. For example:

dotnet new -i c:\source\Package.Templates\ItemTemplates\Dashboard
