Conventions

Guidelines for fluent configuration and naming conventions in Umbraco UI Builder.

Fluent Conventions

Umbraco UI Builder follows a fluent configuration style, allowing method chaining for concise and readable code. Alternatively, a lambda expression can be used for a more structured approach.

Chaining Example

config.AddSection("Repositories")
      .Tree()
      .AddCollection<People>(p => p.Id, "Person", "People");

Lambda Expression Example

config.AddSection("Repositories", sectionConfig => {  
    sectionConfig.Tree(treeConfig => {  
        treeConfig.AddCollection<People>(p => p.Id, "Person", "People");  
    });  
});

Naming Conventions

• Methods prefixed with Add allow multiple configurations.

• Methods prefixed with Set permit only one instance within the current configuration context.
