Integration

To integrate the package into your project, follow these steps:

1. Open your Program.cs file.

2. Add the following using statements:

   using Nikcio.UHeadless;
   using Nikcio.UHeadless.Defaults.ContentItems;
   

3. On the UmbracoBuilder, add the following code:

   builder.CreateUmbracoBuilder()
       // Default Umbraco configuration
       .AddUHeadless(options =>
       {
           options.DisableAuthorization = true; // Change this later when adding authentication - See documentation
   
           options.AddDefaults();
   
           options.AddQuery<ContentByRouteQuery>();
           options.AddQuery<ContentByGuidQuery>();
       })
       .Build();
   

4. Then after the app.BootUmbracoAsync() method, add the following code:

   await app.BootUmbracoAsync();
   
   app.UseAuthentication();
   app.UseAuthorization();
   
   GraphQLEndpointConventionBuilder graphQLEndpointBuilder = app.MapUHeadless();
   
   // Only enable the GraphQL IDE in development
   if (!builder.Environment.IsDevelopment())
   {
       graphQLEndpointBuilder.WithOptions(new GraphQLServerOptions()
       {
           Tool =
           {
               Enable = false,
           }
       });
   }
   
   app.UseUmbraco()
       // Default Umbraco configuration
   

With these configurations in place, your content will be available at /graphql.

To get started, try querying your content using their GUIDs or routes. For example with the query below:

Tip: GUIDs can be found in the info tab when viewing content in the backoffice

query {
  contentByGuid(id: "dcf18a51-6919-4cf8-89d1-36b94ce4d963") {
    id
    key
    name
    statusCode
    templateId
    updateDate
    url(urlMode: ABSOLUTE)
    urlSegment
  }
}
