umbracodegen v1.0.0-alpha.6

umbracodegen

Generate boilerplate code for building v14+ Umbraco packages

Installation

umbracodegen can be installed with your favourite package manager. It is recommended to install the package globally rather than in individual projects to save time installing every time.

npm:

npm i umbracodegen -g

pnpm:

pnpm add umbracodegen -g

bun:

bun install umbracodegen -g

Usage

To run umbracodegen, simply type umb or umbracodegen into your terminal. There are currently two commands at your disposal:

umb new

Running umb new will scaffold a blank Vite/Lit/TypeScript project as per the instructions in the Umbraco documentation.

umb generate [component]

Currently, running umb generate [component] will start an interactive builder to scaffold the most used types of components within the backoffice, heavily inspired by code from Kevin Jump's TimeDashboard

Supported components:

• sections (ManifestSection)
• dashboards (ManifestDashboard)
• sidebars (ManifestSectionSidebarApp, ManifestMenu, ManifestMenuItem)
• header apps (ManifestHeaderApp)
• workspaces / workspace views (ManifestWorkspace)
• property editors (ManifestPropertyEditorSchema, ManifestPropertyEditorUi)
• actions (workspace / entity) (ManifestEntityAction, ManifestWorkspaceAction)

Roadmap

Some ideas for future releases include

• Scaffolding a blank package with default Vite/Lit/TypeScript tooling
• Set target path with an --output|-o option
• Ability to run npx create umbracodegen@latest
