Kentico Kontent Deep Clone

Sample custom element and Azure Function code that uses the Kontent Management API to deep clone a content item. The deep clone covers all recursively referenced content items and their values.

The code in this repository is configured for Azure Functions, however it can be lifted to any web application running ASP.NET Core 3.1.

Setup

1. Deploy the Azure Function code in Functions.sln to an Azure Function. See the Function Settings section for additional configuration steps.
2. Deploy the custom element code in Client/ to a secure public host.
   • See the Deploying section for a really quick option.
3. Follow the instructions in the Kentico Kontent documentation to add the element to a content model.
   • The Hosted code URL is where you deployed to in step 1.
   • The Parameters {JSON} is a JSON object containing optional defaults. See the JSON parameters section for details.

Function Settings

The Azure Function code requires two settings: ProjectId and ManagementApiKey. You can either set them using Visual Studio or use the options here.
