Practical examples and hands-on experience are good ways to learn.
The Umbraco CMS codebase comes with a set of customization examples and a way to run them using a local front-end server. This setup enables you to change the code and review the effects instantly by refreshing your browser.
Open a terminal and navigate to src/Umbraco.Web.UI.Client .
Run the command: npm install .
Run an Example
Start a local server and run one of the examples: npm run example .
Create a playground
You can add a new example and use it as your playground. If it covers a specific topic that would be of interest to others, you can contribute it as a pull request.
To create a new example, follow these steps:
Create a new folder with a name of your choice in the examples/ folder.
Add an index.ts file that exports an array of manifests as the default export (See the other examples if in doubt).
Run your example using the command listed above in Run an example.
