Umbraco 9 (.NET 5)

To get started, follow the steps outlined below.

Prerequisites

  • .NET 5 SDK
  • SQL connection string (MS SQL Server/Azure), unless you want to install using SQL CE (Compact Edition)

Steps to install the Umbraco dotnet new template

  1. Install the new Umbraco dotnet template:

    dotnet new -i Umbraco.Templates

[Optional] Update the template from earlier pre-release versions

If you have already installed the Umbraco dotnet new template, you will need ensure it is up-to-date

  1. Use a command prompt of your choice to update the dotnet new templates

    dotnet new -i Umbraco.Templates

Steps to create an Umbraco Project using the dotnet new template

  1. Create a new empty Umbraco project using MS SQL Azure/Server:

    dotnet new umbraco -n MyCustomUmbracoProject

    Or if you prefer to using SQL CE:

    dotnet new umbraco --SqlCe -n MyCustomUmbracoProject

You will now have a new project with the name MyCustomUmbracoProject, or whichever name you chose.

The new project can be opened and run using your favorite IDE or you can continue to use the CLI commands.

[Optional] Error message 'No template found matching: Umbraco'

If you are sure that you've installed the templates (see the previous step) but the command prompt keeps telling you that there is "No template found matching: Umbraco" then you can 'work around' by detailing the specific version in the --nuget-source option.

foutmelding opdrachtprompt

```none
dotnet new --install Umbraco.Templates::9.0.1 --nuget-source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
```

Where 9.0.1 is replaced with the latest version that is available that you are trying to install.

Steps to build and run

The following steps, will continue using CLI based on the steps above.

  1. Navigate to the newly created project folder:

    cd MyCustomUmbracoProject

  2. Build and run the new Umbraco .Net Core project:

    dotnet build
dotnet run

The project is now running on the Kestrel server and is available on the ports listed in the console.

The next step is to run through the Umbraco CMS installation. If you chose to use MS SQL Server/Azure you will need to add your connection string during this setup process.

Once the installation process is complete you might need to manually restart the application in order to start the application again and get access to the Umbraco backoffice.

Umbraco 9 Nightly Builds

To get the latest nightly builds - the latest version of the Umbraco dotnet template, you will need to add another NuGet source.

  1. Use a command prompt of your choice to insert this custom NuGet feed:
dotnet nuget add source "https://www.myget.org/F/umbraconightly/api/v3/index.json" -n "Umbraco Nightly"

  1. Install the new Umbraco dotnet template

    dotnet new -i Umbraco.Templates::9.0.0-preview*

In order to get the latest template from the new source, you will need to use a wildcard symbol like shown above.

Now you can continue in the same way as if you were using the release candidate version

Package development

Since Alpha 4, we have added a new template to in Umbraco.Templates package which is targeting packages.

To use the new template write:

dotnet new umbracopackage -n MyCustomUmbracoPackage

This generates an empty package with an empty package.manifest. But more importantly it also contains a build/MyCustomUmbracoPackage.targets file.

This file will be included in the NuGet package when using dotnet pack.

The file contains an msbuild target that is executed on build when a project has a dependency to this package. It copies the app_plugin folder into the project. This is required for having Umbraco packages as NuGet packages.

Furthermore, we introduced a new flag on the regular dotnet new umbraco template. You can now write:

dotnet new umbraco -n MyCustomUmbracoProject -p MyCustomUmbracoPackage

This new -P indicates that the project is a test-site of the package MyCustomUmbracoPackage. It will add a project dependency to MyCustomUmbracoPackage and import the target file from that project. So when you build the new project, it will also copy the App_Plugins folder from the package project into the project. In the same way, as if it was a NuGet reference.

Full example

The following example shows how to use the templates in combination

dotnet new umbracopackage -n MyCustomUmbracoPackage
dotnet new umbraco -n MyCustomUmbracoPackage.Testsite -p MyCustomUmbracoPackage
cd MyCustomUmbracoPackage.Testsite
dotnet build

Umbraco Forms 9 (.NET Core) Beta

On Friday 4th June a beta release of the Umbraco Forms package for V9 was released.

It's available from the Umbraco prerelease MyGet feed used for the CMS betas.

```none
dotnet nuget add source "https://www.myget.org/F/umbracoprereleases/api/v3/index.json" -n "Umbraco Prereleases"
```

And the package name is: Umbraco.Forms.9.0.0-beta002.

With an Umbraco V9 application running rc1, you can install the package with the following command:

dotnet add package Umbraco.Forms --version 9.0.0-beta002

And then restart the web application with:

dotnet run

You'll find the Forms documentation updated where necessary for V9, mostly around configuration and some changes to method signatures when extending Forms with custom workflow and field types.

If you find any issues, we'd appreciate reports at the public issue tracker. If you could please prefix any issues with "V9: " that would be useful to distinguish them from anything raised for other versions.
