a dynamic journey of concerns
DESCRIPTION
How can we keep our templates clean and front-end-developer-friendly? How can we make our code testable? How can we reduce our development time, and improve quality at the same time? Some questions I asked myself before starting with the Macaw.Umbraco.Foundation. This presentation takes you on a journey through a foundation we use at Macaw. Where dynamics and separation of concerns are key.TRANSCRIPT

Goal
, and Standarisation
• Standarisation
• Single Responsibility
• Testability
Results in:
• Improve overall quality
• Reducing development time
Concerns and Responsibilities 2
Concerns and Responsibilities
Separation of Concerns
• Models are for business
• Controllers are for interaction
• Views display information
Goal reached with mainly 2 practices
Separation of Concerns
• IPropertyValueConverters (previously called IPropertyEditorValueConverter)
• Dynamic“View”models • Implement IPublishedContent so you can still use all the Umbraco beautiness • Is using the DynamicPublishedContent eco system • Act as a proxy for every IPublishedContent (RenderModel.Content) • Containing commonly used functionality like
• Hompage property for global settings • Breadcrumbs • Default ToString() string converters • etc..
Umbraco
Separation of Concerns
Umbraco + Foundation
Separation of Concerns
Dynamics 3
The dynamic type simplifies access
to APIs, or like in our case, the
IPublishedContent Properties
collection.
