Built-in properties, which exists on all content objects by default
Common Examples
Returns the unique Id for the current content item
Returns the Name of the current content item in the current culture
Returns the Name of the current content item in the specified culture, null falls back to the current culture
Returns a strongly typed 'PublishedContentType' object representing the content type the IPublishedContent item is based on, that gives access to the alias
Returns a culture from a configured domain in the content tree.
Returns the parent content item
Returns a comma delimited string of Node Ids that represent the path of content items back to root.
Returns the Level (depth) this content item is in its tree path
Returns the id of the default Template object used with this content item.
There are extension methods to retrieve template alias (Model.GetTemplateAlias())
Returns the index the page is on, compared to its siblings
Returns the Url to the page.
Example: Getting a Danish Url for a site where a Danish language has been set up.
Example: Getting an Absolute Danish Url for a site where a Danish language has been set up.
Returns the Url encoded name of the page (slug) of the current culture
Returns the Url encoded name of the page (slug) of the specified culture
Returns the id of the Umbraco backoffice user that performed the last update operation on the content item.
Returns the name of the Umbraco backoffice user that initially created the content item.
Returns the id of the Umbraco backoffice user that initially created the content item
Returns the name of the Umbraco backoffice user that initially created the content item.
Returns the DateTime the page was created
Returns the DateTime the page was modified
All content and media items contain a reference to all the data defined by their Document Type. Custom property access is achieved using variations of the method: Value
Returns the property value for the specified property alias
The type returned of this property value is object
. This is fine in most cases since when using the above syntax, Razor will automatically execute a ToString()
on the result value.
See Model.Value<T>(string)
for how to return a strongly typed object for the property
Returns the property value for the specified property alias converted to 'T' - the requested output type of the property value.
For example, to return the string
result of "siteName":
If the current content item doesn't have the requested value, use an alternative 'fallback' value in its place.
Each of the examples below make use of an injected PublishedValueFallback
. This is achieved by adding the following at the top of your Razor file:
This parameter is optional, but can make unit testing easier.
If a content page has a 'title' property, to fallback to use the 'Name' of the content item if the 'title' is not populated. Set the Fallback type to be Fallback.ToDefaultValue, and set the DefaultValue accordingly:
or to a specific value
Look for a property value on the current page. If it doesn't exist look for the property value on the parent page. Then the parent's parent page and so on. This approach allows specifying 'global property values' all the way up the content tree. These values can be overridden in different sections or individual pages.
If working with variants - fallback to a different language value - if perhaps the value hasn't been populated yet for the current language:
Use Fallback.To() to 'combine' Fallback options.
The following would first look for a 'title' property on all ancestors, before defaulting to the current page's name:
There are a few helpful methods to help check if a property exists, has a value or is null.
Returns a boolean value representing if the IPublishedContent has a property with the specified alias.
Returns a boolean value representing if the IPublishedContent property has had a value set.
It's possible to use 'Fallbacks' with HasValue:
